A Boston woman attempted to go up the escalator on the motorized scooter she was riding on but ended up taking a spill instead.

The surveillance camera recorded an unidentified woman, 56, trying to go up an escalator located at an MBTA station in Boston.

According to CBS, the woman was able to walk away from the incident after witnesses came to her aid and helped her get up. According to NineMSN, the video was released to show what can happen when rules relating to escalators are ignored. The woman did not want medical attention and she did not say much to MBTA staff after the incident.
