    You done gone theory of relativity on me.

    Your answer:








    No. Relative to the escalator, you are only moving as fast as you walk. You're not teleporting anywhere.
    Now...lets say someone can actually witness this happen. To the by-stander, you would be moving the speed of light, and (if they could even see it) would see you "teleport" to the top/end of it.

    And every block from all around
    Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
    And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
    "Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"
    Yeah...
