I remember an old podcast/audiobook thingy that was about this exact thing. The escalators went out at the mall and everyone was trapped on the 2nd floor. Sort of a parody of post apocalyptic survivor shows
Escalators can be really dangerous when they break down. It’s better to just stay upstairs if there’s no other way down.
I disagree, I think that if you turn off the escalator it just activates the brakes as a fail-safe and turns into a set of stairs.
Sorry for the convenience

I recall playing a flash game on Newgrounds ages ago that was about a guy trying to leave a shopping mall, and you had to figure out exactly that - how to fix a broken escalator
“an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs”
what if the entire structure snaps in half?
I’m sometimes too scared to ride an escalator. What if my shoelace gets caught up in a gap and I’ll go into an accident?
Sending prayers your way🙏🏻
"HELP! The escalator’s stopped!“
“Send help!"
