We Can’t Stop Laughing at This Guy’s Incredible Escalator Fail. You Should Enjoy It Too.

Your first reaction watching this viral escalator slide might be a squeamish one; ours was teary-eyed laughter. So we thought we’d share.

James Gower shared a video of his drunken friend attempting something that we’ve all thought of doing but have never been quite as drunk as his friend to attempt. The friend, Freddie, saw a mostly empty escalator and decided it was the perfect opportunity to slide down the middle.

“Narrator: It was not the perfect opportunity to slide down the middle.” Watch:

The bone-crunching slap is somehow weirdly hypnotic and invites repeat viewings, at least for this humble writer. Maybe that makes me a terrible person? Anyway, I’ll invite you to join in my horribleness and SHARE this video with anyone needing a good laugh.

And if anybody was wondering, Freddie walked away with just a few minor cuts and bruises.
