Tbh, I personally don't trust a stopped escalator. Some of the videos of brake failures on them scared me off of ever going on them.

You've ruined something for me. My adult side is grateful but the rest of me is throwing a tantrum right now. I hope you're happy with what you've done.
I read a book about elevators accidents; don't.

elevators accidents or escalator accidents?
elevators.
for escalators, make sure not to watch videos of people falling in "the hole".
With people properly using them or not?
I am fairly certain that the vast majority comes from improper use (bypassing security measures, like riding on top of the cabin) or something going wrong during maintenance.
