Not fun
Not the way you want your night at the ballpark to end:
At least 20 people were injured when a crowded Coors Field escalator suddenly accelerated after a Colorado Rockies game Wednesday night, fire officials said. [...]I can't remember where exactly, but I've been in that situation. The escalator was going too fast and people were piling together at the bottom of it. It only takes one person to trip or get freaked out and hold on for dear life to block up the whole artery."It's like it had no brakes and everybody was just piling up at the end of it," she said. "People were just falling on each other." [...]
"I saw people's heads all hitting each other," he said. "I heard people's bodies banging against that thing."
