A lot of people don’t! Escalators are big toothed conveyor belts, with a human-friendly box around it, basically. The mechanisms break down, and there’s a chance that box fails and you meet teeth.
Yeah, man. Fun fact about elevators, in the exceedingly unlikely event of the elevators like, 600 redundancies to keep it from ever entering a free fall all fail, the elevator still most likely won’t fall fast enough to seriously injure you. The air in the shaft has nowhere to go as the elevator falls, making it compress and act as a brake. Definitely prefer the elevators.

U mean the stairs that you step on?
Yes, that is what I am describing. And the railing, the bits that keep you from being pulled around the turns for the stairs…

The turns at the top or bottom, where the stairs retract and go back around the loop

Escalators are just repurposed meat grinders.
