At nationals we were carrying extra tools and equipment from the airport to our hotel. I got stuck with the really heavy battery cart with wheels on the bottom. You know that one really really really long and steep escalator at the airport? Well when we were riding it, it was jammed pack from top to bottom. So I just set up the battery cart on its side, but it didn't quite fit the stair. Towards the top the thing starts to slip but luckily, the team members behind me stopped it before it went more than a step or two.
Though it made me think about what would have happened if they hadn't caught it. A 20-30 pound battery cart tumbling 100 feet down a crammed escalator, gaining momentum and knocking out everyone's knees on the way. Ouch!
But I'm glad that didn't happen. Be careful with wheels on escalators!
