There are rules, there is etiquette and there is consideration for your fellow passenger when on London Underground.

And then there are late-night Tube journeys fuelled by alcohol that throw all those unspoken laws out of the window.

Students drank so much at party that the air registered on a brethalyser

Last night one guy was filmed smashing all the rules of the underground as he slid down the panels between the escalators at Moorgate station.

And karma paid him an instant visit, smashing him right where it hurts.


He hurtled into a stop button with his balls taking the full brunt of the collision while wearing a football strip.

The moment where impact was unavoidable

The look that says ‘I’ve ballsed up’

The final insult after the high speed ball clash

He grimaces in pain then looks on to the next obstacle, a ‘please stand on the right’ sign.



Unable to stop himself, he continues to go down the slide like an out-of-control skier on their way back from the folie douce after a hard day of vin chauding.

James Gower posted the footage on Twitter, assuring us that they had a ‘top night’ with the off piste ball slapping being ‘the highlight’.

Someone who said they witnessed what happened wrote on Reddit: ‘When it happened 2 of his friends literally collapsed laughing on the escalator and the guy who took that fall didn’t get up for a good while.

‘It took the person who you can see almost collide with shout “are you gonna help your mate??” For 2 of them to go help him. He looked in a lot of pain!

‘They had just got into the tube station and were singing football chants in a drunken manner. I assumed they had just come back from a Christmas party cos they were all dressed up like that (and it’s friggin cold outside).

‘Anyway, so they all walk to the escalator all drunken and rowdy and they begin to go down, then this guy, who was by far the drunken of the lot, got onto the middle part and sat like he was going to go down a slide. He started liked that but the first “obstacle” that isn’t captured on camera kinda jolted and threw him out of position, then he hit the 2nd and then built up speed and went flying!

‘All his mates were in tears laughing. One (in the yellow) collapsed onto the escalator stairs laughing his ass off and the others were all crying with laughter. Eventually the guy who he almost collided with at the end of the video was like “are you gonna help your mate??” And then 2 went up to go help him. He was slowly moving but didn’t get up at all. The others remained at the bottom laughing

‘I must admit I was laughing too, but in a suppressed manner haha.’
