That's a free ticket to knock them over. That might make me a tool, but physics is physics. So is the law of gross tonnage. I can't stop the walkway, so the path of least resistance is through the moron standing in the way. Pre-engagement warnings are useless because anyone
clueless enough to stand at the end of a walkway or foot of an escalator generally doesn't have enough brain cells to respond in a timely manner to a yelled warning. I do always remember to say "excuse me" post-contact.
