    Can’t the escalator like flatten out or something awful, when it’s without power?

        You’re right they don’t flatten but the brake does have to engage to stop it from behaving similarly to a manual treadmill

      No, this particular escalator does not include emergency slide mechanism, although this would’ve helped OP in such troublesome situation.
