Once (8yo?), standing to the right of the escalator, I grabbed the rubber handrail from the outer edge and let it carry me up. I think I assumed grownups would have installed some safety mechanism to stop it. It was clear it was going to take me all the way to the top. I let go about 6-10 feet up. I was uninjured and ran to catch up with my family.
This haunted me for years, not necessarily with elevators, but that not everything has childproof guardrails.
