Well, I know how I'm getting kicked out of Bloomingdale's tomorrow

For public intoxication?

It's funny because of his username

In the next week ER visits involving escalators will at least double.

I hope this goes viral so that 6 months from now we can have a bunch of gifs of people eating shit while trying to do it themselves.

Wait, what's on his feet?! I've watched the gif about 20 times and I still can't tell

Thought he had skiis on, due to the shadows, but I think he's bare snicker'ed.

maybe heelys?

[–]Chiii 1 point2 points ago

If he had that, he wouldn't be able to stop so abruptly at the end. But hell, you can't slide like that with normal snickers on (rubber).

I have no idea.

[–]zopiac 0 points1 point ago

Maybe he's only in contact with the edges of hard-soled shoes? They can exert less friction than normal shoes usually.

[–]Chiii 0 points1 point ago

That would make much more sense.

[–]Fidellio 0 points1 point ago

I think he's in his socks.

[–]duckstaped 1 point2 points ago

WHERE IS THE VIDEO!?

[–]cucumbers 1 point2 points ago

Equal chance of ending up like this guy

At first I thought the video was just sped up, with him holding on with his hands. But then I observed the people in the background.

So apparently, he really is sliding down using something on his feet.

Thought it was The Matrix at first. Mainly due to the green hue.

[–]Taterpugg 0 points1 point ago

I was waiting for a crash, but the lack of a NSFW tag should have foretold my disappointment.

Lllllllllllllllllladies.

Source?

I've done this before, slightly slower but still as useful.

(Used to work in a theater that had 2 flights of stairs that i had to climb down over and over again)

Key is - slippery soles, and hands around the side but still hovering above it.
