How To get Around The London Underground Quicker
LONDON (Reuters) - A man who filmed himself skiing down the longest escalator on London's underground rail network was branded "dangerous, stupid and irresponsible" Wednesday.
The man hurtled down nearly 200 feet at Angel tube station with a camera strapped to his head and posted the video on the YouTube Web site.
The 60-second film shows the man climb the escalator, clip on his skis at the top and begin his high-speed descent as onlookers shout out behind him.
London Underground condemned the stunt.
"This is a dangerous, stupid and irresponsible act that could have resulted in serious injury or death to not only the individual concerned but also other passengers," it said in a statement.
"London Underground will press for the police to take the strongest possible action against anyone attempting a similar act on the tube network."
A British Transport Police spokesman said it was a "naive and reckless act" and urged witnesses to call them.

I can see someone doing that in Parliment Station here in Melbourne, they would be perfect for that sort of stunt
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
