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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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