Somewhat ironically, though, Rhod was probably talking about how, when escalators are stopped, the distance between steps gets smaller near the ends, so if you’re not aware of that, you may try to step up too high and put too much energy in. So he’s not exactly wrong, but I’m not sure he realizes what is causing it.
I remember David Mitchell trying to convince Rhod Gilbert that stopped escalators don’t fling you off the top, and he finally said:
I’m not going to discuss it anymore. I’ve told you the information. At some point, you will accept it.
