When I step on a escalator, I can hear the screams of the damned underneath it...I fucking hate being on something that could turn me into human-meat-paste
It would be funny if he didn't get grind up and die.. provided the escalator stopped and not much damage. That music was so unfitting.. made me laugh for some odd reason. :smith:
My god, I didn't think shit like this actually happened.

More like 300 at least. But like the text says. He did it alone, without waiting for another worker to oversee it.
He didn't get grinded up into bits.. he was crushed between the rollers and later died as a result of the bleeding. Don't take the ridiculous depictions of a hollywood movie to be exactly how real life works.

A deputy stationmaster on Taipei City's MRT Zhonghe line fell to his death while performing flood-prevention checks at Dingxi Station in New Taipei City.
The 35-year-old deputy stationmaster, named Kuo Cheng-chieh, fell to the bottom of an escalator shaft at 2:43 a.m. after a 300 cm x 20 cm flood-backing board he was carrying became stuck in the mechanism.
Kuo was working to test the flood-prevention facilities at the station — a standard operating procedure at MRT stations during typhoon season. As Kuo was working alone in the station at the time, security guards didn't realize he was missing and only began to search for him about one hour after he fell. They found Kuo at the bottom of an escalator shaft at around 5:00 a.m.
Rescuers removed Kuo from the escalator shaft and rushed him to the Yongho branch of the Cardinal Tien Hospital, but staff were unable to save him. Peter Hu, director of the hospital's intensive-care division, said that Kuo already had no heartbeat when he arrived at the hospital — a result of massive bleeding.

he should have listened to his mommy
I'm just imagining all your bones being crushed...ouch.
Poor guy, I felt awful when he was reaching out for anything to grab onto and realizing what was about to happen to him.
This is just an example of how people don't think about what current technology can truly do to you.
I'm sure there was an episode of the X-Files where this happened to the bad guy

If it actually happened like that I would never take an escalator ever again
From now on, I'm sticking with stairs.
I think more people die by falling down stairs then escalators and elevators combined.
EDIT: Yep [url=http://www.richardhowe.com/2011/09/15/dangerous-steps/]Source[/url].
I actually have a fear of stairs, to be perfectly honest. Not really a fear of going up or down them, but falling down them for sure.
This man didn't die useless, people will develop another model of escalator after this, more safety
R.I.P, whoever he is
Well, it sounds like he could've been saved if he was found immediately. Still sucks but it makes me feel better knowing that an escalator won't grind me up in to spaghetti
People who are saying they won't use an escalator anymore are stupid, it only happened because he was carrying that backing board.
I'm fucking terrified when I'm about to take the first step onto the down escalator. I feel like I'm gonna fall and just tumble down and break my skull open on one of the tough metal edges (they aren't even a straight corner, they might as well be hundreds of blades)
Should be used as a educational video.
It hungers for more!
You know what? Whenever I see an escalator with no means to get around it I think to myself, "there's nothing interesting up there anyway..." and sort of shuffle off. I've always been terrified of them, ever since I was a kid. :(
That video, I don't know why the fuck I watched it.
I like escalators because I can walk up them and go twice as fast.
Now... not so much.
Escalators look just fucking sinister to begin with, I mean they're giant chainsaw looking blade things with metal teeth at the edge of each step.
[QUOTE=faze;32411491]Yeah it is...that's gotta hurt. What is shown exactly? I have a weak stomach...lol[/QUOTE]
Well, you see him fall into the escalator, but it isn't gory or anything like that. You don't see him getting ripped apart, with sharp blades in the escalator, and you don't see how much it had to hurt. Also, you don't hear the screams... The screams of terror, and death.

Oh wait, page 3, nevermind.
This video has a bit more footage, wish i could understand what they are saying although I can probably guess.

It was like an inverted polevault, except you die instead of going over a bar.
I've always preferred the ramp-type escalators designed for trolleys. Steps may be shorter and steeper and therefore cheaper to put in a building, but ramps are totally worth it.

Does he even die?
It looks like he was okay, judging by the fact he was being rushed into an ambulance, and also the CGI simulation showing him landing on the bottom and being carried down.
Fucking wierd news report though, the way it sounds all happy with ding noises etc.
Also if you look at this elevator cutaway, most of the mechanism seems to be to one side, so I guess you'd probably just get carried down and start doing a barrel roll.

I came in here expecting a Ted Crusty Video and I got this D:
[QUOTE=RichyZ;32423978]he bled to death shortly thereafter[/QUOTE]
Not too bad I suppose. He probably got stuck at the bottom for several minutes doing a backwards roll in pitch darkness, and wondering what the fuck was going on, obviously it'd be pretty painful as well because of the stairs unfolding.
I kinda thought there was a big mechanism of wheels and gears underneath escalators, and if you fell under you'd be ground up entirely.
I dont understand what is the picture at the video end. Is that the grinded body in a bag?
They really need to put more safety measures in future escalators. Like maybe a chute you fall in that protects you from the moving parts when the escalator steps give way.
