Escalator brake failure causes uncontrolled acceleration

[Rose-ohmc]

Well that was 43 seconds of my life I'll never get back

Looks like the the exact opposite happened. When the speed passed the rated motor speed, it shut off and engaged the brake. Precisely what it was designed to do.

This video is a good lesson in checking the like/dislike ratio before watching.

Oh yeah... I was thinking when YouTube was still sane. (you have to install a return dislikes extension for that)

The lady legitly put her hands up as if it was a roller coaster

[AllaboutDale]

A moment of silence for the people who thought the escalator will go very fast. 💀

[rollerbladinggeek]

if by uncontrolled acceleration u mean a controlled stop, err... ok

[lunatekcc]

good thing that when an escalator breaks, they just become stairs

"Uncontrolled acceleration" at 0:44

I bet the situation escalated to a point where you start to feel worried.

80, 000 souls were lost that day, lest we forget.

Looks more like it controlledly moved to a 'less boomer and less boring' speed before coming to a halt.

I think the person meant escalator brake optimum performance, controlled deceleration.

[Orc-icide]

AND THEN IT COMES TO A STOP! As it should. This shows the importance of redundancies and the ability for a machine to detect that something is going wrong. Well done

Who's still watching this at May 2024?

Lol i like how if you look at the play times when you move the red part under the video you can see where “tap to skip 5 seconds” brought people

[chipperjack]

I'll never get that 43 seconds back

When you remember that Chinese woman who got sucked into an escalator like a trapdoor monster, Canadian escalator disasters have it pretty good.

I was stuck on one of these for 3 hours once.

What I thought: uncontrollable chaos, screams of torment, severed limbs everywhere
What I got: one guy went *wheee
