yup, have come across escalators where the hand rail and escalator are out of sync. 

I usually walk up or down without holding handrail.

I am nitpicking.

Rather it is human nature of complacency.

This is especially when you are holding to something.

Most escalator incidents down to improper use; top causes include people looking at phones: BCA

Quote

The top cause was due to users carrying bulky items including prams, luggage and shopping trolleys, which accounted for 17 per cent of all cases.

Another 16 per cent were due to users moving on an escalator or not holding the handrail. About 12 per cent were attributed to the physical health conditions of the user who, for instance, might be feeling dizzy or unwell while using the escalator.

About 11 per cent of incidents were a result of users being distracted, including from the use of mobile phones. The fifth most common cause - 9 per cent - arose from shoes or body parts getting trapped in the escalator steps, particularly among young children.
