I was in a mall searching for something I had to buy. I came out of the store and to the stairs, which went downwards. Instead of stairs it was a steep ramp, which had a right angle turn at the middle. Though I understood this meant to be an accesibility feature meant to be walked, I sat down and slid, accelerating at a dangerous pace. When I reached the turn I flexed my legs to “land” at the ledge.

A teenaged girl behind me did the same thing as I did, but landed with a thump. I hoped that she didn’t get the idea from me, and was afraid that she might have hurt herself, but was relieved to see that she was unharmed. Behind her, her friend did the same thing, but instead of landing on the ledge she jumped over it.

I asked her if she was OK, to which she replied “I did it on purpose”
