Story behind the famous Olympic escalator stunt - Canadian - Feb 18, 2018
"Swiss freestyle skier Fabian Bosch tells Yahoo Sports how he pulled off the amazing feat at the Olympics."
The video is great, but when you're done, read the comments. They're hilarious

I've seen a few teens attempt this at the local malls, but never seen someone get all the way up in person so kudos to his strong palm lmao

Lmfao, that's hilarious. That must have been pretty tough to hold onto TBH, even for a trained athlete. If he let go that would have hurt a lot too. 😏

I had a friend who tried this and broke a couple of bones. Shit's dangerous.

That looks like a great way to injure yourself.

Did he try with one arm or two ? I feel like I'd pussy out and let go early on

Fair enough. I'd say my upper body is pretty strong, but I still wouldn't try

Saw it before, pretty crazy to even think about holding it foe long. Even difficult for an athelete

Agreed, but freestyle skiing is no joke. The athletic ability on these individuals is too much

That is pretty cool. The handhold on escalators has good grip so it was probably a perfect surface for it. I feel like it might damage the machinery though.

Probably since it's meant for a light touch not a grown man
