The weight of your body will set the escalator in motion and it will keep accelerating. As you approach the bottom end at ever increasing speeds you will have a few moments to contemplate on what a mistake it was to not take physics class in high school. Once you reach the end of the line your journey will end in a rather unpleasant manner due to the high velocity. You could get injured very seriously or even killed.
