Why do healthy people just stand while riding the down escalator?

Asked by gondwanalon (22879points) May 7th, 2011

It takes next to no energy at all to walk down the down escalator, yet very few people do even when there aren’t people in their way and they aren’t carrying luggage.

Are you one of the vast majority of people that just ride down the escalator? Why do you just stand and not move along when there are not any other people in front of you?
