And enthusiastic YouTube user traveled to Kawasaki, Japan, to take a very short but apparently exhilarating ride on the moving staircase in the basement of More's department store, which is located across the street from the JR Kawasaki train station, according to the video's description.
"I rode the escalator seven times," the barrator said, "and it was a glorious eperience."
As Wired notes, the five step escalator measures just 834 mm -- a mere leap to anyone with a healthy pair of legs -- making it what just might be the worlds shortest escalator.
The video has already been viewed more than 600,000 times since it was uploaded to YouTube Wednesday.
