  Do escalators not come with a ratcheting mechanism to prevent exactly that from happening? Seems to me like a serious design error if not..

    I guess they were designed to run in both directions, meaning you can't mechanically lock the "down" direction.

    I mean, it's probably a Chinese escalator. We didn't get the term "Shenzhen Quality" out of thin air.

      That seems a bit of a misnomer when everything is made in Shenzen.

        Funny, it seems increasingly apt to me.

        Most escalators used outside of China are not made in Shenzhen.
