Escalators Videos

Probably another symptom of sleep deprivation. Here, exposed. My deep dark secret. Sigh. Well, now you know it all. And I couldn t have done this in a less flattering angle. But anything for my art! My video explains it, but here is a good piece by a British writer about her fear of escalators and how she overcame it. She feels dizzy. I don t feel that; it s more a concern for my children and a bit me. Uh, I feel so ashamed. Like I just admitted I wet my bed. Did you know there is a name for fear of escalators? It s called Escalaphobia. Here is some stuff from about.com.  Italics are mine. Elevator Myths t have to pay much attention to them. TRUTH: Escalators are six-ton moving machines and should be treated as such. Pay the same attention to an escalator as you would to a moving bus. Oh, great, that makes me feel a lot better. MYTH: The steps will flatten out and all the people will slide down. TRUTH: This is impossible. Each step is a full triangular structure consisting of tread and riser supported on a track and cannot flatten out. But can it claw at you? MYTH: Many times people think that escalators move too fast.TRUTH: They move at only normal walking speed. The misconception is probably due to the visual perception created when you are standing still and everything else appears to be moving. I can t hear you I m heading for the stairs. MYTH: Children often think that the steps fall into the basement and have to be restacked every morning. TRUTH: Escalator steps move on an endless chain system. At the bottom they rotate under and over up the underside of the chain to reappear at the top. Over crushed bones MYTH: Escalators can reach out and grab you. TRUTH: No part of an escalator can do this. But people must be careful of loose clothes, untied or long shoelaces, high heels, long hair, long jewelry, etc. because these can get caught in an escalator s machinery. See I told you! MYTH: Escalators will stop and restart themselves. TRUTH: Escalators only stop if they are stopped by the specially designed STOP button, or if there is an obstruction or over speed. Once stopped, escalators can only be restarted by someone with a restart key. Hmm, maybe I should stop it, then I could get on. MYTH: If an escalator is standing still, it is just a set of stairs. TRUTH: Not at all! Escalator steps are not the correct height for normal walking and should not be used in that manner. The risk of tripping and falling is increased Yeah, but great for working your glutes. Share

The timeless dollar on the string trick was good for some mall entertainment while Wifeofnalts was shopping... Until the cleaning lady spotted me, and got me shut down. Wifeofnalts, of course, was not even remotely surprised (per the phone call at the end). Get e-mail alerts when I post a new video! http://www.companyofnalts.com & follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/nalts This was at a mall in Dulles, Va., and I know it could have been better. But do you know how many people don't notice a dollar on the ground? And how many times the camera fell into the plants where it was hiding (or on the floor)? BTW- Spencer sounds like he may be back for a prank... toying with the idea of having him be the world's worst magician. Thoughts?

Well, I'm on holiday in Sydney for a conference. Thought I would post a video in my amazement as I went up and down the escalators in the Myer store on George Street. It was quiet amazing. Like I mean, just think. The amount of escalators in that store is almost 8x the amount that Townsville has. Like, 2 in the city, 2 at the airport, 2 at Stockland and that's about it. No much else. Well, anyway here is how long it takes to get from the top to bottom of this remarkable store. :D 58 views | 0 comments Click here to watch the video (03:04) Submitted By: Nickswebtsv Tags: Sydney Meyer Myer Store Shopping Escalators Lenghty Funny Hobby Amazing Townsville Sydney george Street Centre Westfield Shopping Centre Westfield Categories: Entertainment People & Stories
