Escalator-Spinning Chick Will Inspire Kids (To Die)

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.

Um... why not do that at the *bottom* of an escalator, which has the exact same set-up, minus the whole "30-foot-fall-to-your-doom" element?

i like how there's like five versions of that same video (which doesn't even have that many hits yet, really) with way fewer hits. it's like this hit the 30,000 threshold and then all the shark-ass biters on youtube said "OK, time to steal this internet GOLD! COpy and PASTE into youtube.com! my adsense partner rewards program check is gonna hit triple figures this month! "
