Skiing down an escalator, Budapest style - PHOTO

A stuntman known only as ‘Szenty’ made his way down a set of escalators in Budapest in his own style – on skis.
He's not the first to attempt a spot of down-escalator skiing, of course - a man pulling off the same stunt at Angel station on the London Underground, which features the longest escalator in Europe, became a fairly popular YouTube hit a few years back.

It's not entirely clear if the trend for escalator skiing is a result of some climate change thing, with melting snows driving skiers from their natural habitat, or part of a militant wing of the 'stand on the right, walk on the left' school of escalator etiquette..
