    • Paulish, on 06/24/2008, -76/+16Man, you sure are hardcore. You could have chosen bad ass things like hunt wild bulls and boar with nothing but a loincloth and stone knife, but instead you chose to "spin on an escalator". I wish I had balls of steel like you.
      • ibenizer, on 06/24/2008, -45/+3haha, awesome paulish.

        • Murdats, on 06/24/2008, -1/+169at the same time?
        • dhughes, on 06/24/2008, -2/+20 Yes I agree, there's a good chance both could be done at the same time. Although his death wouldn't necessarily mean the spinning ends.

      • mrsammercer, on 06/24/2008, -0/+69That's because Reddit took it from Gizmodo, as did this submission. You're not as clever as your name suggests, dicknuts.

    • RoflCoptah, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5ya know, at first, i expected her to, i dunno, fall down an up-escalator and continually fall, but never go anywhere
    • Unriggable, on 06/24/2008, -1/+6You spin me right round, baby, right round...
      • robz0rz, on 06/24/2008, -1/+3Meatspin anyone...?

  • jd33, on 06/23/2008, -23/+616Hot blonde sitting and spinning? Are you ***** kidding me? Dugg.
    • ozid, on 06/24/2008, -44/+7you're throwing the term hot around too loosely. her body is hot but i'd trade her face in for something with less miles on it.
      • xptoast, on 06/24/2008, -4/+36I hope hot little woman laugh at your old face someday and say that same thing to you.
      • wonderbriefs, on 06/24/2008, -3/+44Like a beggar turning his nose up at buffet.
      • RedS0x, on 06/24/2008, -3/+11fewer miles*
      • BikerDude69, on 06/24/2008, -4/+1Yup. She's hot. She will be hot when she's 50. The video is grainy. Besides, older women are beautiful lovers! I mean, I'd draw the line somewhere, but you get my drift. She kinda looks like Catherine Bosley, the Ohio news anchor who was fired over a nude/wet t-shirt contest she participated in. SO HOT! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSOytS96YhI
    • theliamburns1, on 06/24/2008, -19/+7You're so cool. How can I be more like you?
      • shortyjacobs, on 06/24/2008, -1/+9hmm, well, that didn't work. Keep trying sport.
    • plimpton777, on 06/24/2008, -8/+3Within a week she'll make another video of herself, this time playing the Wii in her underwear.
    • ewap8, on 06/25/2008, -1/+2Nice *****
  • falloutsyndrome, on 06/23/2008, -13/+485You spin me right round baby right round . . .
  • lordewoks, on 06/23/2008, -20/+66I wonder if she figured that trick out all on her own?
  • Inohavehalos, on 06/23/2008, -12/+186Lets see a fat guy try to do this, and have too much weight on the down side, causing him to fall all the way down the stairs.
    • antdude, on 06/24/2008, -4/+20You go first!
    • Rage67, on 06/24/2008, -5/+10I'd digg it... haha
    • da_bradler, on 06/24/2008, -8/+4***** i can barely rest my hand on those belts without it sticking causing me to stumble down the stairs.
    • yahoofrom, on 06/24/2008, -5/+66As an escalator myself, please don't try this guys. I only welcome girl spins.
    • str1fe, on 06/24/2008, -2/+4Down the up escalator, naturally.
    • dave122, on 06/24/2008, -1/+0I'll try it out and get back to you.
    • fcukObama, on 06/24/2008, -7/+1When is it cool and tolerable to mock obese people, yet those who mock people of African American decent are dugg down and banned?
    • FDisk, on 06/24/2008, -4/+1You gona need the Large Hardon Collider to spin that *****.

      .
      .
      .
      :) I said HardON
  • yokozuka, on 06/24/2008, -29/+13Maybe the trick is in the boobs' weight.
    • chrgra, on 06/24/2008, -5/+10actually it's center of mass + the change in angular momentum as she moved her body to keep balance, but good guess. lol
      • wilhoitm, on 06/24/2008, -2/+10So it is the change the change in angular momentum of her boobs?
    • btschul, on 06/24/2008, -3/+3God I hope so
    • Iwantawii, on 06/24/2008, -1/+7( . )( . ) lopsided
  • chrgra, on 06/24/2008, -76/+142yea anyone whose taken physics knows how this works. the escalators have the same velocity, momentum, acceleration, but are directing two opposite forces on the girls body. because these forces are both directed perpendicular to her body the process of torque is done. the fact that she had to keep straightening her body helped with a change in angular momentum and gave her balance, instead of falling off.
    • yokozuka, on 06/24/2008, -5/+47Hold on. I think you are wrong. Gob Bluth says it is... MAGIC!
      • voleur, on 06/24/2008, -3/+28It's at least an illusion. Because everyone knows tricks are what a whore does for money...
      • WELLDOITLIVE, on 06/24/2008, -0/+6Saying Gob Bluth is redundant, that's what the B is for =P Sorta like saying atm machine
      • Nickooo, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1But where did the lighter fluid come from...?
    • rancemo, on 06/24/2008, -4/+13Did you use the chicken to measure it?
    • feliks2, on 06/24/2008, -7/+207Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could've figured that out before I ever took any physics classes. Hell, probably in like third grade.
      • lukemit, on 06/24/2008, -11/+20but you didn't... that's the missing key.

        Even if you did, you didn't film it, that's the real missing key.

        Well that, and you're probably not a hot blonde chick.
    • legendxx, on 06/24/2008, -5/+103Well done sir, nerdiest comment on a site full of nerds. You have reached a new low. Everyone and their mother could figure this out without your 'explanation'.
      • Grimdotdotdot, on 06/24/2008, -1/+29I miss the days when Digg was full of nerds.
        • geoboy, on 06/24/2008, -4/+4Digg was never full of nerds. You're thinking of Slashdot.
    • Sroek, on 06/24/2008, -3/+48Anyone who has ever seen a ***** wheelchair turn could figure this out...
    • ConfusedCartman, on 06/24/2008, -16/+9Since I can't comprehend that explanation, I'll go the creationist's route and call it magic.
    • Zaneris, on 06/24/2008, -8/+7I take it you struggled in that 11th grade introductory physics class... if you actually learnt anything from that class that you didn't already pretty much understand, physics isn't your field.
    • digitul, on 06/24/2008, -2/+26anyone with common sense could've figured that out. but thanks for explaining bill nye
    • Nerfdude, on 06/24/2008, -3/+90thanks Doctor Science, i couldn't wrap my head around "one goes up and one goes down" on my own. where should we ship your nobel prize?
    • Blademan88, on 06/24/2008, -0/+74as a physics major, i feel it should be pointed out your point could have been made with about 90 percent less physics terms, but i hope you feel smarter for explaining this complex physics problem.

      "the two tracks going opposite ways are spinning her"
      • jnava121, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5and david blaine above her levitating in a frozen block of ice... as he steals her watch...
    • Epik, on 06/24/2008, -0/+36Her ass-hugging jeans doesn't hurt the process either.
      • GeneralFailure0, on 06/24/2008, -0/+6It simplifies the problem enormously. Friction is made negligible because it is transferred to the inside of my own pants.
    • teamtom, on 06/24/2008, -3/+11Since the escalator maintains a constant velocity, acceleration = 0, nerd.
      • xxpor, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3no, the magnitude of the velocity stays the same, but the direction component doesn't. so a =/= 0.
    • epilecticgamer, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4no way! I never would have figured that out, thanks for the tips Captain Statetheobvious sir!
    • Disease, on 06/24/2008, -1/+17You're ruining the magic.
    • timusca, on 06/24/2008, -0/+14Anyone who's played Megaman knows how this works.
    • delfin1, on 06/24/2008, -10/+4simple mechanics, it's just common sense that the two constant forces, which are equal but in opposite direction, acting at contact "points" equidistant to her center of mass have the effect of 2 equal sources of torque, providing the lady with a constant angular speed of (2*v/r), where v is the speed at which the escalator's belt moves, and r the distance from the contact "point" to her center of mass. You don't need to know physics to reach these conclusions.

      it looks hard thing to do, actually.



    • dg10050, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4Thanks for that amazing deduction, Sherlock.
    • somaddict, on 06/24/2008, -1/+8Thank you for laying waste to my boner.
    • kyle212, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5No *****
    • loneBoat, on 06/24/2008, -0/+14"the process of torque is done"?

      You don't write textbooks for a living, do you?
    • ZombieKiss, on 06/24/2008, -0/+10But can you tell me how the girl works?

      Didn't think so.
    • Somedude2137, on 06/24/2008, -6/+1Wow man you're so smart.... any hot chick would want to suck your dick right now in RL for that...... NOT!
      • GeneralFailure0, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4Oh burn, you did a "not" joke. I'm sure there must be hot chicks lined up to suck your dick now, as that is apparently the expected reward for a smart comment.
    • MrHyde81, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3This is exactly how a tank turns around. Only in this case the treads were stationary and spun the girl.
    • plnegative1, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2A couple created a moment. har har har
    • GeneralFailure0, on 06/24/2008, -0/+11Technically the velocities are not the same, but are opposite. If one is, say, 1 m/s, the other is -1 m/s. Speed would be the same.
      • chrgra, on 06/24/2008, -3/+0not exactly because saying "-1 m/s" is the same as saying "1 m/s downward" because of this you have to accept that the velocities are the same. This is why most physics problems dealing with velocity either say "1 m/s directed west" or "1 m/s east".
        • Noein, on 06/24/2008, -1/+2Umm the definition of velocity is speed and direction. So no the velocities are not the same, speed is, just like GeneralFailure0 pointed out.
    • bman85, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3It doesnt take a deep understanding of physics to see how this works...
    • Verdanic, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3I don't think it takes an education in Physics to understand what's going on. Anybody who has ever seen an excavator (or any other full caterpillar vehicles for that matter) should get it, I think.
    • feliks2, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4Did anyone whos digging him up actually read his explanation? Its the most incoherent piece of ***** explanation on here. The velocities are not the same, but opposite (GeneralFailure0 pointed this out already), and the momentum and acceleration of the escalators have nothing to do with anything here. The part about forces being perpendicular to her body just makes no sense at all, as doesn't the part a bout the process of torque being done. Or all that angular momentum *****.
    • db0255, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Anyone who knows how jeans and moving handrails on escalators work, can figure this one out. Thanks John Madden.
    • LordSturm, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1Aww shuddup, I do physics and I don't need to use it to believe what I'm seeing. :
      It's a cool idea tho. :D
  • VdgX, on 06/24/2008, -4/+464This is a horrible accident waiting to be filmed and hosted online.
    • ABadPerson, on 06/24/2008, -1/+31That version should follow not too long from now.
    • grodrigu, on 06/24/2008, -1/+66Some parent, I don't care which one, has to teach that girl to fear and respect that escalator.
    • writie, on 06/24/2008, -4/+1Yes, read the comments - gruesome. You know what they say: don't try this at home!
      • shoveitfatty, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2I most definitely do not have an escalator at home....
    • bigt8dogg, on 06/24/2008, -2/+46Well, you'd have to be pretty ***** rich to try this at home... It IS an ESCALATOR, after all.
      • flangepiece, on 06/24/2008, -0/+15Two escalators, no less. Perhaps you could joust with your butler.
    • McWombo, on 06/24/2008, -1/+13It's all fun and games until she gets her hair caught in the moving hand rail.
    • twertyto, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5Hair caught in an escalator is definitely waiting to happen.
    • Bytesage, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1Yeah, then it'll be on the next 'faces of death' (ugh)... since AFAIK there isn't a video collection of the Darwin Awards.
    • Scott83k, on 06/29/2008, -0/+0Or an Awesome accident
  • mentallyinhell, on 06/24/2008, -10/+144Has to be magic, no laws of science could explain such an awesome phenomenon.
  • JimmySpaza, on 06/24/2008, -77/+6Hello?!? One of the escalator's belts was moving in the direction opposite from the other belt...you know, since one escalator was going up and the other down.

    You can do the same thing. Put a piece of paper on a desk. Push the right corner with your right hand. Pull the left corner with your left hand. SUPRISE!!! The paper turns on its own axis.

    ...wonderful public education you guys have.
    • btschul, on 06/24/2008, -6/+22u bee smart huuuh
    • noahgelman, on 06/24/2008, -4/+14Was that sarcasm or were you being serious? If it was sarcasm you have to at least write"/sarcasm" under your statement so at least know what your trying to do before I decide you weren't funny and digg you down. If that wasn't sarcasm then you deserve to be dugg down for being retarded.
    • brett1337, on 06/24/2008, -12/+2yea your all ***** dumbasses have you never been in a mall god damn it stairs go up next to stairs going down
      "oh but in my mall theyre on opposite sides and they face each other so that doesnt happen"
      shudafukup bitch evry1 knows this happens and ppl spin all the time dumbass no education queers.

    • Bilabrin, on 06/24/2008, -11/+2Agreed, I was stunned when I watched the video because the title makes it sound mysterous and weird.

      Everyone who buried you is a drooling retard and will probably end up doing manual labor for a living.

      And yes, I did bury the story for the ***** title!
      • npowel, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4I think there's a slight chance that the title was intended to be light-hearted, but rant away.

    • Shenanigans, on 06/24/2008, -2/+59Is something wrong with u?
      • plup, on 06/24/2008, -3/+24It melted. Heh.
      • pigducksheep, on 06/24/2008, -2/+3I saw what was done there and lolled.
      • GeneralFailure0, on 06/24/2008, -2/+1There's only something wrong with him if there is also something wrong with all the other thousands of internet users who enjoy spending their time watching people get hurt in youtube videos, so yes there is.
    • wtfpwned98, on 06/24/2008, -0/+8You will. Tomorrow we'll be able to digg some new story about people nationwide being sent to the ER for escalator accidents.
    • HawkeyeMatt, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4Trying it between two down escalators?
  • Chalks777, on 06/24/2008, -4/+21I... am inspired.
  • rjam710, on 06/24/2008, -4/+34 Hot girl, physics and/or magic? This should hit front page soon.
    • redhitman, on 06/24/2008, -1/+6Done!
    • adidos, on 06/24/2008, -3/+14Physics + a girl...sounds like an XKCD comic to me!
      • horscategorie, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3Physics + a girl...sounds like magic to me
    • djHBRD, on 06/24/2008, -1/+2The three pillars upon which Digg was founded?
  • MCA2142, on 06/24/2008, -13/+170Same technique Military Tanks use to turn.

    Picture the moving banisters as the Tank's tracks and the woman as the ground. Now flip the whole picture upside down, and you got Tank physics.

    • KingGorilla, on 06/24/2008, -3/+125i have trouble picturing an upside down escalator on a girl
    • cl2yp71c, on 06/24/2008, -4/+5I learn something new each day.

      Thanks.
    • crazzy88ss, on 06/24/2008, -3/+46Tanks for the visual. It really helped.
    • directedition, on 06/24/2008, -2/+23Hot blonde, tanks, physics. This is awesome.
    • completerobot, on 06/24/2008, -5/+6Rowboats do the same thing.
    • mithrasinvictus, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5i like the picture just the way it is, but thanks anyway.
    • utahnkid, on 06/24/2008, -0/+22You should write my text physics book.
    • jason72780, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4when tanks turn one track doesnt move as fast as the other. Pivot steer is one going forward and the other backward making the tank spin in a circle. Cool to do until you have to sweep the rubber up.
      • shuffle, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Which is exactly the point the OP was making?
      • electromage, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Most tanks are capable of either, and as far as I know, don't use rubber treads. Not sure what your point is.
    • gttim, on 06/24/2008, -1/+10I'm thinking of flipping the girl upside down, the hell with the escalator!
    • rentmitchum, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4Now picture common sense.
    • ramenite, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2Military Tanks...

      As opposed to that civilian M1-Abrams I have to keep the kids off my lawn.
    • cheeseplease, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Wow! Amazing how you manage to explain such a complicated concept in such an easy way.

  • Chainheart, on 06/24/2008, -17/+11I'd like her to do the same on my ding-a-ling
    • BladeMelbourne, on 06/24/2008, -2/+9Sorry, she will only spin on a ding-a-long.
  • Flafan, on 06/24/2008, -10/+3She can spin on me all night
  • chkdg8, on 06/24/2008, -13/+7It's okay, she can get away with it because she is gorgeous.
  • vinceislegend, on 06/24/2008, -12/+6Soon as I watched the vid, I knew at least Digg would be above commenting on how attractive the girl was in general favor of how sweet this trick was.

    Kudos.
  • mrzeero, on 06/24/2008, -5/+150I kept waiting for her hair to get caught in the belt and tear a big chunk of her scalp out.
    • utahnkid, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5And.. yup you can go to hell for reminding me about this:

      Happened a couple months ago at the go-kart ring in town.

      • lukemc, on 06/24/2008, -0/+16If that is what reminded you there is no way im going to watch those videos.
      • IHaveIssues, on 06/24/2008, -0/+6The chick has 5 feet of hair dangling around the moving parts of an engine...what did she think would happen?
        • utahnkid, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Oh dude don't worry, you're preaching to the choir. It happened at Fiesta Fun, this little mom and pop "fun center" that's been here forever, and you know they're going to get the crap sued out of them (money I know they don't have) so yeah, I think the lady wasn't using her senses. Sadly in todays legal climate you're expected to have your hand held 24/7 or it's "negligence"..

          Then again the woman was just this poor, as in I'm sure reconstructive facial and scalp surgery isn't cheap, mother so it's a pretty bad situation. I just hope insurance comes through from either party and a huge law suit is avoided.
      • texpundit, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4OW OW OW ***** OW!
      • snoox, on 06/24/2008, -0/+0yea i hate to be a downer but that is really dangerous, i hope she puts her hair up on a bun next time she attempts that stunt. it wouldnt be worht getting injured or scalped.
  • JoeB4ever, on 06/24/2008, -14/+29WITCH!!!
    • cl2yp71c, on 06/24/2008, -6/+6Tie her to the wooden pole.....and leave, so I can....umm...burn her.
    • jnava121, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5Peasant 1: We have found a witch, may we burn her?
      Bedevere: What makes you think she's a witch?
      Peasant 2: She turned me into a newt!
      Bedevere: A newt?
      Peasant 2: I got better.
      Crowd: BURN HER ANYWAY!
      Woman: I'm not a witch, I'm not a witch!
      Bedevere: But you are dressed as one.
      Woman: They dressed me up like this. And this isn't my nose, it's a false one.

  • t3rmv3locity, on 06/24/2008, -8/+4Nice laugh track...
  • MrTito, on 06/24/2008, -1/+36Awesome. It's summer time and there's gonna be a lot of punkass kids trying to do this ***** at the mall by the weekend. Next video's gonna be some retard getting his shirt eaten by the escalator.
  • DrSnugglebunny, on 06/24/2008, -1/+32I hope she's ready for internet fame...
  • 3amboo, on 06/24/2008, -11/+4i want to have sex on one of those

  • ZeDJS, on 06/24/2008, -7/+12Both the trick and the girl are damn fine
  • feliks2, on 06/24/2008, -6/+20I think its absolutely hilarious how some people are trying to use physics, or tanks, or pieces of paper and whatnot to explain this in a serious fashion.
  • philostrato, on 06/24/2008, -8/+2i definitely gotta try that

    • MacTyler, on 06/24/2008, -17/+5took me about 10 seconds, but I finally got your joke. You spun OGC around in a complete circle like the girl in the video.
    • qwkredfox, on 06/24/2008, -3/+2haha!
  • cragga, on 06/24/2008, -11/+4Anyone who uses the words physics and magic in relation to something as simple as this obviously does not have the best handle on how things work.
    • halexmar6, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4Sarcasm is stating the opposite of an intended meaning especially in order to sneeringly, slyly, jest or mock a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound. Sarcasm can also be used in a humorous or jesting way depending on the intent of the person speaking. -wikipedia/magic/unreliable source
  • narcosis219, on 06/24/2008, -10/+4I was waiting for her to fall off and split her head open on the steps.

    God that looks so dangerous... but I wanna try it!
  • Swarms, on 06/24/2008, -4/+28And out come the wannabe Harvard grads that think it takes a Mensa member to figure out how it works.
  • urbandistrict, on 06/24/2008, -10/+4That made her hot, so did the cleavage.
    • da_bradler, on 06/24/2008, -0/+25umm I'm not sure what you think cleavage is but there wasn't any in that video.
    • bustachops, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4you don't really know what what cleavage is do you
    • Kronk42583, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1definately no cleavage, but nice ta tas though

    • halexmar6, on 06/24/2008, -2/+26guy with camera told her to do it because he knew that if a guy did this...well...it prolly wouldnt have made front page
      • pear1jamten, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5because of comments like these..... its easy to see why there aren't girls on digg.

  • tehknotte, on 06/24/2008, -15/+10the cameraman sounds very, very, gay
    • crossmr, on 06/24/2008, -1/+2This is one video that should have been hosted without sound..
    • wtfpwned98, on 06/24/2008, -3/+2Gay people have the best gaydars. I'll just take your word for it.
    • exomni, on 06/24/2008, -3/+2Actually he sounds very much like a heterosexual. And a douchebag. Seriously, I've NEVER heard a gay talk like that, but I've seen plenty of dumbasses in flip-flops and beach shorts sound exactly like that.
      • shortyjacobs, on 06/24/2008, -6/+2Did you seriously just say "a gay"? What are you, 80 years old?
        • wtfpwned98, on 06/24/2008, -2/+4He's using the noun form.

          Adjective form - a gay person.
          Noun form - a gay : gays
        • LeviTheSmith, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3u got ownd in inglish

  • Shadoblak, on 06/24/2008, -7/+2Yes.
  • GregFD3S, on 06/24/2008, -4/+14Thank you physics!
  • beinss, on 06/24/2008, -11/+0thats definetly something i must do the next time im at the mall. Sadly enough i have a test tomarrow over how that works (physically) You see, The reason she didnt get displaced along any axis is because the torque is merely rotating her in a counter clockwise motion. There isnt a force pushing against her in any certain direction except around a specific axis where her center of mass is located. (Think ill pass? lol)
    • finezapa, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5buried for the word "tomarrow"
    • brett1337, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1this wasnt as bad as the guy that was seriously pissed up there
    • Nerfdude, on 06/24/2008, -0/+7That's so fascinating, Lord Physics of the Nerdirverse. Thanks for being the thirtieth wonderkind to post a tedious explanation as to how the magic happens.
  • Alex2, on 06/24/2008, -1/+15If you get your head stuck in between the two belts, it will twist your head off.
