Fun fact: if this ever did actually happen the adaptive resistance of the motor would increase the force until it could crush you without slowing down the escalator for anybody else :)

Also fuckin' random real talk: I know a lot of people prefer the theatrical cut of Mallrats, Smith included, but I 100% prefer the original cut with the Governor's Ball/Musket intro. Always found it much funnier and anytime I watch the theatrical cut I just miss the 'missing' scenes.
