Can't the escalator like flatten out or something awful, when it's without power?

[–] bonn2@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, but that would be very funny

You're right they don't flatten but the brake does have to engage to stop it from behaving similarly to a manual treadmill

escalator temporarily slide

[–] GrievingWidow420@feddit.it 5 points 6 months ago

No, this particular escalator does not include emergency slide mechanism, although this would've helped OP in such troublesome situation.
