We all use escalators quite often, rushing to catch the next floor while at a shopping complex or even in apartments. But one man recently caught the internet’s attention with a hilarious and surprisingly clever approach to escalator riding. Instead of walking or standing stiffly, he decided to let the rail do the work and the Internet can’t stop hitting the replaying button.

A video of the man has gone viral, showing him casually holding on to the moving handrail as it took him all the way to the next floor. What makes the clip so amusing is his relaxed demeanor while he was riding the escalator, strolling up to the side of it and grabbing onto the railing.

And no, he doesn’t rush, he doesn’t play and the smile on his face remains the same as if he has discovered the secret to pull off the ultimate escalator stunt. The caption of the video read, “Bengali trend.” A text overlay reads, “Yes I am Obhodro Chele.”

Internet Is Divided

Just as was expected, the clip has struck a chord online. Many viewers commented on how refreshing it is to see someone genuinely enjoying such a difficult activity, calling him “funny.” One such comment read, “Uhh are so funny.” Another wrote, “I like your sense of humour.” A person added, “Super.” One stand out comment read, “Chaahta to escalator se bhi aa sakta tha pr iski ****masti to dekho.”

Concerns Flood Comment Section

Some, however, pointed out how dangerous the stunt could be. Expressing concern, a social media user wrote, “It’s too dangerous, it hand slipped then it could lead to serious issues.” Someone else added, “You are fit so u could do it. But if kids see and follow you. It’s dangerous.” A person even suggested, “Don’t encourage this.”

Amid the contrasting opinions, a section of people praised the man for his strength and the grip he maintained while holding on to the moving handrail. “That grip strength is” read a comment.

Next time you step on an escalator, you might just consider taking a page from this man’s book but before you dare to try the stunt, keep in mind that it requires a lot more strength than you think.
