A 56-year-old South Boston woman fell after trying to ride her motorised wheelchair up the escalator at a subway station last Friday but was not seriously injured.
The woman, whom officials have not identified, tumbled several times as the escalator rose out of Broadway Station at about 9:34 a.m.

A man ran to her aid when he saw her flip over. He nearly tripped trying to set her upright on the moving escalator. An MBTA worker then rushed to the scene and pushed the emergency stop button.
The woman was able to walk down the stairs and had no serious injuries. The scene was recorded by one of the MBTA’s new surveillance cameras.

Honestly, you have to wonder what this woman was thinking. It wasn't about the consequences of going up an escalator with a motorized wheelchair, though.
The woman was able to walk but was using a motorized wheelchair?
Lazy as well as stupid.
Hahaha, Darwin award!
But to be honest, the day I retire I'm getting one of those. Bugger walking :P
