I pressed an amergency stop button once at Warren St tube because an old girl had fallen over.
It was dead exciting, and I shouted 'Hold Tight' really loud to everyone else on the escalator first.
Nothing very exciting happened after that. Or since, really.

That's the bit they don't tell you
The Emergency Stop isn't just for the escalator. It results in the complete cessation of all excitement, ever, for the rest of your life.

Showed you, didn't it?

the emergency stop button
is cinema security's best friend.


the number of idiots you can catch by pressing that button and watching them fall on their faces is great - and amusing at the same time

If only someone had warned me.
I would have taken steps to avoid it.
