‘Commuter’ Skis Down London Tube Escalator

I actually saw this headline in Google Reader from the BBC, but it’s only when I saw the video on The Register that I realised how insane this was. This YouTube video features Norwegian Peter Olenick skiing down Europe’s longest escalator, all 300ft of it, at Angel Tube station in London.

After watching it a few times I think he’s lucky he didn’t do himself some serious damage. How long do you think it will be before someone has a major accident filming a video intended for YouTube? Or, has it already happened?
