I learned a fear of escalators has a name! Escalaphobia.
Thankfully, my escalator injury didn't result in a phobia.
I was a kid, stuck in a boring air port, late at night, waiting for the people we were there to pick up.
I decided to entertain myself by seeing how long I could climb up the down escalator, like it was an exercise machine.
I fell, and the teeth on the step edge went in to my knee and under my kneecap.
It was as painful as that sounds.
I never tried that again!
