It's all fun and games until someone else tries this woman's escalator-spinning trick and immediately dies:
Have you watched so much viral video that you were expecting something bad to happen at the end? Until the first imitator gets escalator-owned, it's probably best to stay away from malls. Not. Even. Joking.

This reminds me of an episode of Rescue 911 that I saw as a child where this kid's clothes got stuck in an escalator and started strangling him because he was f-ing around or something. I don't know how exactly, but this looks like it could end up just like that.
