No. It isn't. It's still an old man falling down.

[–]TheAtomicPlayboy 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The original is an old man falling up.

[–]pegthebeast 4 points5 points ago

So this is what falling up an escalator looks like.

[–]jasmaree 2 points3 points ago

[–]HeroOfCanton 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It looks like the old man had a heart attack or something.. pretty sad actually.

[–]gweezer 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This seriously makes me sad. Its bad enough that happened to the poor guy in the first place, but now everyones laughing.

Seriously, he is so old, there is probably something actually wrong with him, not funny guys.

[–]BaZing3 0 points1 point ago

If it were me I'd much rather I gave some strangers a laugh than made them feel sorry for me.

[–]gweezer 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I guess I'm just the opposite, I would rather have people understand what I'm going through then think I'm a moron.

WTF reddit, how the fuck can you laugh at an old man who lost his balance and fell down on an escalator? Fuck off...

[–]MemeReplicationAlert -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He did recover pretty gracefully though.

[–]xeriscaped 0 points1 point ago

He was an inch away from an eternal loop of falling. Lucky bastard.

[–]Johnboy_Ice 0 points1 point ago

That was very well done to turn himself around by sticking his feet on the glass siding. Very well done indeed.

Looks like it's his first day at the escalator rodeo

[–]mjm7496 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The worst part is that it probably ripped his drawers off at the top where the belt goes under the escalator teeth of death. Poor old guy...

This is actually very dangerous. Im pretty su I save some lives in Grand Central Station who were trapped on one by someone stuck on the top. They were piling up and nearly falling off the edge.

[–]dawtcalm 0 points1 point ago

so THAT's why there are no escalators to heaven!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

i didn't find this all that funny :( here's a guy who, in his old age, isn't strong enough to hold himself up after losing his balance. what's worse, that struggle he went through just to prevent himself from tumbling seemed to take every ounce of effort he had. i really felt for the poor guy because i know someday i'll be like that too.

I guess you could say he's slowly declining in his old age.
