As a former ride operator, the ride should've been stopped immediately. Yes they are on a predetermined cycle - but that is overridden by a big red button that brings the ride to a safe and quick stop.
Вот и смотрю когда же остановят😮😢
Yes, why?
Exactly 💯
The operator was colourblind !!!
they would be upside down and the blood would go to their head
who else thought someone fell off
Only you

It looks like someone flew out of that sucker.
My mom got her neck broken and extensive head injuries after being thrown off the Himalaya ride at a carnival in the mid 70s. My little brother and his best friend were on it with her, he was around 7 at the time and as he described it he shut his eyes and when he opened them mom was suddenly gone. She died at the scene but amazingly was revived and medivacced to the hospital. The pictures that were taken of the injuries are beyond description I'm not joking. Yes she received a large settlement but in the end all me and my family has to say is you really cannot trust these things.
That is horrible. I'm so grateful that she made it. I hope she is well.
I think i remember that.. Himalaya,,( CONEY ISLAND)??
Which state was this in ? Yeah Himalaya was very dangerous .
@@user-uy2rn9hh6u chicago, illinois
So what did she die
My brother worked at our yearly fair at our grammar school setting up rides. He was sixteen. After a few days of work, he told my parents, don't ever let any of us on carnival rides again. The ppl who he spoke about setting up those rides were constantly drunk or on drugs and would lose parts frequently. When he brought it up to the supervisor, he was fired. Never went on another ride ever again.
I haven't been on one since I saw two mexicans trying to pound out some sort of bearing with a brick and a screwdriver while the ride was going.
Wow! That is nuts!
@@fedupwithem6208bearings and bricks. The last combo I would ever think of.
I have worked at our fairs when I was a teenager as well and I can concur these carni's are always drunk or highly drugged up as they are putting these rides together as well as operating them so I for one will never trust going on them personally and I will never allow my kids to ride them either, EVER!!!
Every traveling carnival I have been to in Arkansas where I’m from is run by meth heads. Sweetest folk you’d ever meet. Terrifying machine logic. :)
Note to operator, when the machine is falling apart it’s time to stop.
maybe he was smoking marijuana?
Or running the water gun game simultaneously? Seriously, people.
The ride is self-stopping. When all of the mechanical parts have ejected, it stops running. That's how you know when to shut it down.
I Want To Go Again !!!!
@@ShushiG2022alright weed makes you dumb, but it don’t make you that dumb.
Rule number one. Never get on carnival rides.
Survival rule. No rides, cruises, airplanes, trains, etc.
Rule 1. Just go for the food lol
@@bloodyqueen7975 Carnival food? You really are a risk-taker, aren't you?
Amusement park rides are permanent structures and better regulated. As a rides operator, there were even several of Those I would refuse to ride, for safety reasons. These fair rides however, are taken apart and put back together every other week. Too much to go wrong.
deal
I worked the fair one year for an airbrush artist. My oldest daughter was 6 wks old. He made me swear I would never let my kid get on a carnival ride. The last night, it took about an hour to take the entire fair down, and he told me "look. This is why you never ride carnival rides. There's no maintenance supervision like you get at amusement parks, and the operator can be gone within an hour." I have always heeded that advice, and my oldest will be 17 this year.
I almost died on a fair ride similar to this once. The restraining device was faulty, i flew out of the ride, my mom had the instinct to grab my arm and pull me in as close as possible until the ride was stopped. Havent been on a ride since, this was 20 years ago
Shouldn’t someone be stopping that damn ride?!
Yes
Exactly
Sorry, no money back.
Superman is on vacation
I paid for my ride and I want my full ride.
Who else thought a person was ejected from the Ride...🤔
It was
until I heard the sound of metal hitting the ground, so did I
@@CherrioMadeItBITsHwasn’t
Yeah at first. And that piece of metal that flew almost hit that crowd of kids too
I did. That wasn't a person???
Ride operator was busy in reading comments on youtube shorts😂
Haha
So it was you all along 😂
I fail to see the humor in your comment.
The operator is like, "y'all still have 5 minutes to go."
I've been watching this for several hours now and still no one has stopped it.
And it keeps falling apart too like how is it not all gone by now??
🤣
😮 You have been watching this short for hours?? 😮😅😂
@@norayelton4034 NO my Cat has, But we commented anyway..my first jolt was had it dropped a passenger
Press pause.
Not a single person or ride attendant hit the big red EMERGENCY STOP button?
Duh!!!!
The ride is slowing and coming back down to standing position. It looks like it WAS pressed.
@@PupRikuit was definitely not pressed. It only takes seconds for e stop to work. The ride doesn’t continue to slow for minutes.
It's out on a lunch break
They didn't want to issue refunds to the riders
As a professional lawn care specialist, i can say with total confidence that this is not a grass issue.
the operator was smoking grass what ya talking about!
rotflmao!!!!
As a professional Troll I concur with your analysis...
🤦🏻♀️🤣
I can agree with you on that as a fellow landscaper in case anyone needed a second opiono
This is why you NEVER get on the rides at fairgrounds. They do not have the same safety standards as the big entertainment parks do; and they sure as hell don't have the same insurance coverage.
That’s a lawsuit right there. And the ride operator is so clueless he won’t even stop the ride. Hope all of them sued.
Оплачено! Поэтому и не выключает 😂
I don’t think the guy on the ground sued.
Probably gypsies
Guess your American first thought is a law suit
@@davidmarchant9386what would you do then?
On first look, thought the piece of metal flying off was a human.
Thats not a human
Omg so did I
True
Weeee again again - piece of metal
So did I thought is no one gonna help them there all just walking off 😂😂
To be fair, the operator was doing meth with the carnival’s safety officer at the time.
This comment is spot on! 😂😂😂
'To be fair...' I like that!
Those ppl were still patiently waiting in line to ride next- they literally had to be told to leave lmao
Nah the operator was like... next in line! 🤷🏻
Can you imagine after waiting in line patiently being told that the ride is closed and you have to leave…(?)
Bahhhh bahhhh white sheep
@@scooterp7009would you rather them say "step right up who wants to see if they pick the winning seat that doesn't fly off"

You mean how.....
The ride operator and the fair owners should face legal consequences. The ride should have eyes on it 100% at all times. If the operator was not trained on that, then the company should be disciplined.
We don't actually know what the operator did or didn't - it is fully possible that the ride was swiftly stopped and just took ages to actually slow down. But yes, the owners (or possibly manufacturer depending on how it failed) should definitely face legal consequences.
What company? ONE RIDE, one rented ride at the University.
@@TheKira699How about the company renting the ride and training the operator?
Just don’t go to janky carnivals.
Disciplined? They should be jailed.
My kids thought I was the meanest mom cuz I forbid them from going to any temporary fair in a random parking lot. Don’t care. I’m right. It’s my job to protect them.
You got a point, I went on one of those mobile attractions with my brother to a fair set up in some parking lot, thing was so rickety and peices of the ferris wheel I was on felt loose like the safety handle and other parts.
You're literally more likely to get hit by lightning but I'm sure your helicopter parenting isn't doing irreparable harm. What are their pronouns?
@@xxArsen1xx-OnPsn lol it is not more likely to ger hit by lightning, people get hurt and die on carnival rides every year. I hope you don't have kids or you may get them killed.
Do your kids drink tap water though?
I assume you never let your children anywhere near an automobile then
My son almost fell out of a ride once & i was screaming at them to stop the ride, my daughter was holding on to him for dear life.. finally they listened & stopped the ride. Had my daughter not been with him my boy would've been gone. They had the nerve to give us more tickets when we went to the head trailer to complain.. wth made them think i would put my kids on anymore rides is beyond me!
I almost slipped past the leg restraining bar on one of the vertical circle rides when I was about 15. Those bars definitely don't guarantee anything.
If you value your life, don’t go on rides at fairs. Ever.
And don't buy food.
@@JMartinM_AZ😂😂😂😂😂😂 yup
Yeah, cause when you think about it.... they put these rides up so fast, going from town to town And are also very tired and I think can easily be careless in putting these rights together safely for people to ride them and not get hurt

No reason for not hitting the emergency shot down panic button. The operator is now liable as well as the carnival owner.

@@CM-xr9oqNo, not injured ..just lost their life. 🙏🕊️
At this rate I don't even think there was an operator in the booth at all
He probably went to the bathroom and stopped to flirt with Suzy on the way back.😂😂😂
Probably was on a potty break. Wondering what all the screaming is about.
Don’t ride carnival or fair rides. You’re risking your life.

It's everyone calmly walking out of the line for me as the ride is still in motion. Why didn't the operator stop the right? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Bc he knew if one piece comes off more well likely follow and he ran from the falling pieces to keep from getting hit. 🤦🏻♀️ I think I'd of needed a new pair of pants once this was back on the ground
As a seasonal ride operator at an amusement park, I feel like I should chime in. STOP THE RIDE THE MOMENT SOMETHING BECOMES DETACHED!!!!! -> I’m usually responsible for operating the park perimeter scenic train(Narrow Gauge 2ft 2in, C.P.Hunnington Locomotive & Consist, Two Stations/Three Crossings, and Approximately 2.5 Miles Of Track). On the longest straight, the track speed is 13 miles per hour. I had someone step off of my train after rounding a corner entering the longest stretch. I slammed the air brake leaver into full stop, throttled down, and slammed on the locomotive brake(followed by a long whistle to indicate to park other employees of a situation. I then contacted park management and proceeded to request the passenger to step back on. -> Another time, when I was on the Ferris Wheel, a person dropped his flip flop on the head of the “door keeper”(as I call him). At first, we all thought it was part of the ride, so I immediately threw it into full reverse, stopping the Ferris Wheel, and took a moment to assess the situation. -> What all this is meant to do is portray the point of ensuring the safety of all aboard, whether or not someone is at risk of injury. The operator of this ride was negligent, and therefore derelict in his duty to ensure the safety of the guests.
That ride operator deserves jail time for not stopping the ride and the carnival needs to be closed down forever.
Forever? And what if the dumbass was a young kid who's just starting out?? Is he at fault yes of course but if no one was hurt why so dramatic and drastic punishments?
if it stopped instantly it would give you whiplash, it is shutting down, and slowing, thankfully this is not a ride my company builds, but we do make many amusement park rides, and rarely carnival rides
@@steveblue5973 it is stopping it takes time as to not injure riders
@@steveblue5973 shutting down a ride forever isn't that drastic
@@steveblue5973 It doesn't matter how young you are, if you are doing a job you should've been sufficiently trained to do it. If you *have* been trained and ignore that training therefore putting people's lives at risk then you deserve the sack and to be investigated. As for the ride operators, yes, they *should* lose their licence. Routine periodic inspection & maintenance is *essential* on these sort of rides. Delaying, or skipping, inspections etc, or ignoring recommendations for remedial work, to save money is gross negligence IMO.
I'm an auto tech with years of experience of working on machinery. One thing I've learned over the years is that machines break. Even the best maintained ones. You'll never get me up in one of those death traps.
Some rides seem safe enough, like a ferris wheel. Not a lot of centrifugal force at play there. I have never been on, nor would I allow my kids to go on a ride like the one in this situation. Tilt-A-Whirl type rides by the nature of the mechanics, stresses and velocities involved seem too subject to catastrophic failure. Stay boring, stay alive.
I think you’re right but does this mean you also dont get on planes?
@@lauramatos1181 🤣 Absolutely!
@@lauramatos1181 Your point is well taken! I would not get on an aerobatic plane. But I do fly on planes where I don't expect to be jerked from one direction to another with great centrifugal force and acceleration. Admittedly, when flying does go bad it is often due to catastrophic mechanical failure.

As a Kid and as a Teenager, My friends and I LOVED going to ALL the Fairs!! We would ride EVERY RIDE with ZERO hesitation and ZERO fright!!! Then, when I was in my 20’s and 30’s, I would get just as EXCITED to take my Daughters and their friends to the Fairs! And, there again, ZERO hesitation and ZERO fright!!

I was 12 years old when the village carnival came to town, 1981 😉, and was riding the Salt & Pepper Shaker ride when the pin holding the door to the ride closed and held us in the ride at the same time fell out! I stretched my arms and legs out blocking my friend in the ride and screamed, "STOP THE RIDE!!" only to be ignored. It wasn't until someone watching went to the operator to tell him to stop for him to catch on. Totally thought someone went "splat".
My husband use to put these rides together and he told me to never ride them after we got married. He said they are literally put together with carter pins so they can be took apart fast and easy.
The way they quietly walked out of that line was hilarious to me.
Right
They were screaming while walking away
That's the final destination group
Unbelievable! I would be running away as fast and as far as possible! Already saw a part fly away!
They were like HELL NO !!!
I got stuck on a "zipper" in the mid 90s. At the top, reclined but not upside-down. We were going at full tilt, and then heard clanging and saw screws falling out. The ride was stopped and we were up there for over an hour. I never got on a carnival ride again. Nobody was hurt, thankfully.
My old girlfriend got stuck on my zipper once. It was embarrassing.

I loved the Zipper, but after riding it a million times, I noticed while waiting in line that the whole thing shifted and came up off the ground. That was the last time I ever went to a traveling carnival. I need my rides firmly attached to the ground. 😂
my zipper got stuck a few times an I peed my pants .😂
Even at big fairly regulated amusement parks, you are taking something of a risk getting on these types of rides, roller coasters and such… Some of these are big structures and things get overlooked through poor maintenance schedules and also just plain incompetence or just plain humane error. I used to get on these rides often as a kid/teen, but hadn’t been on a ride since then. I probably never will again. Not at a major amusement park, and especially not at some two-bit carnival.
My dumbass thought that banner was a human 💀
Getting on a carnival ride is like playing Russian roulette.
So is driving down a roadway or getting on a plane
There are youtube videos of ride operators setting up and breaking down their rides. They are insanely well built. The new generation of rides are state of art, and they can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They're safer than your automobile.
No it's not
Yea but ur odds r significantly higher that you’ll be fine, get off and move on with your life, not exactly super likely this will happen to u.

As a nurse a took care of a similar situation at the ER and it didnt end well, a girl died. I will never ever forget the mother screaming when she realized her daughter had passed.

Very sad and absolutely heartbreaking.
@@JesusChrist-ck2sf You're brain doesn't seem to be working properly.

My uncle is a state inspector for NC and he always told us that those pop up city fairs have such leniency as opposed to the large state fairs once a year. Those pop up machines get tore down and put back up so often and so fast that it’s not IF one will break but WHEN it will break!
Im suing EVERYONE‼️ The company operating this fair, the operator for not stoping the ride, the city for allowing them in... I'm not facing all this trauma not to get a bag for it... GIVE ME A BLANK CHECK‼️
So I'm guessing the ride doesn't have an emergency stop button. Absolute madness.
Emergency stop button can actually make the problem worse some of the rides don't have one for that reason. They basically have to evaluate whether or not to use the emergency button because the ride doesn't just simply stop and return the occupants to the ground in some cases slapping the emergency button can actually injure and kill Riders in most cases it leaves them stock hanging in the air upside down in some cases for a day or more before emergency Cruise can get them down and they usually get sued because of people dying where they were hung upside down for too long waiting for the emergency crews to get them down they're usually better off to leave the thing finish at cycle unless they're absolutely sure that multiple people are being ejected. Peace falling off the equipment they usually won't slap the emergency button over

We were at a family-oriented amusement park in PA with friends, and one of the kids accidentally pinched her fingers in the exit gate after leaving the ride. They immediately shut down the ride, asked us to stay where we were for a moment, and we were talking to repairman & engineer within 2-3 minutes. They didn't reopen the ride until they were sure it had been a simple accident (putting a hand in the wrong spot at just the right moment) and that the exit gate was operating properly. THAT is how to manage a ride.
Was it Kenny wood?

IF that was a person who got launched off that ride, nobody seemed very interested in rendering any first aid or at least covering the mess with a tarp..
That must of been scary as hell. I'm happy that none of those seats flew off the ride, and everyone is safe.
My cousin was the building inspector in town, carnival used to come every year in the 80a and 90s. He highly suggested to my parents that we shouldn't go on the rides. He was a smart man but not overly cautious. I take his word.
Ya, I don't ride on those pop up carnival rides. I don't trust the people that run them to properly maintain the machines.
It doesn't matter, this has happened at big theme parks too. You take a risk anytime you do anything at all. You just have to hope it's not your time. Who knows, they could have done all the preventive maintenance possible and this still could have happened. It's still is not very common and is a very small chance of you having an accident on one of these rides. It just seems more frequent now because we have social media updating us 24/7 at our fingertips with similar videos from all over the world which will of course make it look like it happens all the time, when it doesn't.
@kevinpedz ok, glad to know you feel that way. Curious what you mean by "it doesn't matter".
@@kevinpedz do you work for the carnival?
I used to work at the county fairs in the 80's and those ride operators were all high school dropouts and dopeheads --- I wouldn't trust any of them with a potato gun
What's even crazier is these rides pass through every city and people trust their kids on them!
I have never.. lol... And I have 4 boys.... They ain't never either... Those things are rust buckets ... Just dont see how folks trust them
Not I 😂
Not me
Exactly, and they are erected and dismantled by people with little or no training whatsoever
I worked with the people years ago and they had videos of them falling apart the public never sees. I seen a double ferris wheel fall apart on one. No one was riding then though.
This is one of the reasons why I dont get on the rides. Most of them that work at the fair and carnivals stay drunk and high while working on the rides and machines.
"Falling apart" apparently means the same thing as "a small piece fell off". 🙄
I quit riding fair rides when 15 years old because me and my best friend got on this ride called like Arabian nights or something like that. It was made to look like a magic carpet with two rows of like 10 or so seats and it had the bars that came down over your shoulders to hold you in. It’s one of those rides that are mounted on a big arm and go in a big circle like 100 feet in the air and back down and back up. Well the carny straps us in doesn’t check any of the bars and starts the ride going up was no big deal but as we came down me and my best friends lap bars went up and we both almost got slung out luckily we had each others back and together we were able to hold the bars down until the ride stopped. My sister who had taken us saw it happen and frantically tried to get the carny to stop the ride but he didn’t believe her when she said she saw our bars go up. So we got to spend 5 minutes in complete terror with our arms laced though our lap bars with our arms that were side by side locked together because we decided that if one us went we’d both take that trip. That’s been close to 20 years ago and haven’t stepped foot on a midway since.
Sounds like a ga-damn lawsuit to me
Your grammar is so bad I’m sorry
Tht would've been a lawsuit
Grammar…?! These people poured their heart and soul out to portray their harrowing experience, and you have the stones to attack their grammar. Get a life, Karen.
Damn bro 🥲🥲🥲
In case you're wondering, it was a panel off the center cone that came off, smacked one of the cabs and fell to the ground (you can see it landing off to the right of the picture). Doesn't appear anyone was hurt, but what a horrific thing to go through.
Thanks for clearing that up! It sure looks like a body on my little phone screen.
Thanks! It sounds like a body too!
Was that..... was that part of OUR ride?
Well I'm thinking 🤔 I saw a human being fly through the air hit something and has horrible landing
For some reason I read your comment in an Irish accent ?? You’re not Irish are you ?
I'm more disturbed by the that NO one goes to the aid of the human being that got flung to the ground, at least not that I could see. So sad
Glad to see that they have an Emergency switch.
Why you'd want to put your life in the hands of fairground operators who dismantle and reassemble these contraptions is utterly beyond me.
especially meth heads with no teeth
Because it's fun and the odds of death by carnival ride is 1 out if 750 million . You have one life. I would rather live free over worrying about what could kill me. The odds of dying in an automobile accident are 1 out of 100. To each is their own. But if you fear carnival rides because you are afraid of injuries or death...then you probably shouldn't ride in an automobile because your odds of death are waaaaaaay higher than dying on a carnival ride.
I've caught them smoking crack behind the machines lol.
Because Carny’s are highly trained professionals who take pride in their work! 😂
Because some of us like to have fun do you drive a car?
I'm glad those people were paying attention and got out of the way of that falling chunk of metal
That was a person that flew off of the ride.
@@Knape-vz5ml no it was part of the center cone ...however it did hit the riders sitting on that arm and as it bounced off them it hit the ground
That piece that flew off could've well hit several people but luckily landed in a vacant spot.
if I was a person on that ride, I'd be filing a lawsuit against the fairgrounds and whoever has the carnival!
Walking out of line like you just watched final destination IRL 😭
Outrageous!!!!
Big Facts
😅😂
I worked for a traveling carnival after high school for approximately two weeks. Those rides are put together with r pins and drug addicts. I never go on carnival rides. The day after I left, everyone was arrested in a drug sting.
😂😂😂😂😂
you called the police on them ? 😂😂
R pins? Oh...cotter pins! Oooweee that could be sketch
These fairs and carnivals today aren't ran or like the ones I saw growing up in the 1970's and early 1980's.
Wait..I notice, people aren't running towards it It could be an act
If you understand physics, wouldn't it seem that if a fast moving ride is falling apart, best to let it run its course...because having it slow down while other pieces could fall off means those pieces could direct toward a person on the ride. Just a thought!!
You would think the ride operator would investigate a thump.
For those of us in the health and safety, entertainment/ festival/ fair ground etc industry, we know that the ride should have been stopped immediately. All rides legally have to go through safety inspection before ever allowing members of the public to get on them and have all paperwork such as ADIPS, risk assessments, and insurance renewed to show that all safety checks have been done. The rides cannot operate if these documents are out of date. Allowing the ride to continue instead of shutting it down, is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen 🤷♀️
Can't get a lawsuit if there is noone left to file one 🤷♂️
I learned this stuff on Theo's podcast too😂
Huge lawsuit = settlement and back in business next weekend.
Well all the rules in the world dont matter if the operators dont follow them!! Geeze!!
@XXRandoMizedXX that's not true..family..
How can anyone trust fair rides? They are like pulled out a suitcase and put up in one day.
😅😅😅
By carnies. Do you get your legal advice from Bender?
😂 say pulled out a suitcase. Lmfao
lol actually they take a few days to assemble depending on the ride this one would take a few days to put together but I get what you're saying 😂
My grandfather use to travel with the carnival putting up rides himself. He always said “you’re trusting your life on a machine built by man which means there can be flaws and something can go wrong”
I one time asked a Russian immigrant if they have theme park rides in Russia a long time ago and he starts yelling “people in Russia don’t care about these things, if they have rides they are just cheap carnival rides that would break apart and people would die!”
Ppl in line: welp! On to the bumper boats.
First Rule of Fairground Ride Club; Never ride any Fairground Ride.
When i stopped going to fairs people would tell me im crazy for thinking of that. Yet nobody oversee the rides nor checks them. Ill pass on your janky ride

I once took my toddler to a farm animal fair and saw a small Ferris wheel. As soon as the operator turned it on, the sheer noise from the old rickety Ferris wheel terrified me. I quickly told him to turn it off and immediately collected my toddler. I will never do that ever again! These people are there to take your $5.
That’s because Ferris Wheels are just torture devices for people afraid of heights.
I remember riding animals in the 90s. In 2000s I assumed it every coaster had to be safe. The plus side if I died my family wpukd be set. Today I'm not getting on those. But my kid could ride animals
This is what happens when the republicans did away with regulations on amusement rides throughout the country. Just wondering who got money under the table n how much for that ruling ? I’m old enough to remember that law being passed. And since that ruling this isn’t the first ride failure to have happened. I’m praying that when everything turns blue. Maybe just maybe they will put regulations back on the table for amusement park rides regulations back on the table
No fair or carnival rides for me. I dated a ride operator a couple of times as a teen and he said all the traveling rides are deathtraps waiting to happen. I followed his advice and continue to 30+ years later.
As my husband says: construction workers are expressly forbidden from going near energized machinery, but people are willing to put their kids on energized, moving machinery... Machinery sometimes built by meth-heads
I go on or near energized, moving machinery all the time. They're everywhere in Los Angeles. 1.5 ton or bigger machines traveling up to 65 mph or more. Often moving within a few feet of pedestrians, and usually having at least one person inside.
Yep, alot of those carnies are meth-heads!!
MOSTLY built by meth-heads. I've almost never seen one of those guys that didn't look like he spends every penny he makes on drugs & alcohol.
In my town the rides are built by all meth heads, with mullets, nascar tank tops, Marlboro reds and an 89 to 90 something ford thunderbird.
in the case of rides like this, there is usually a BIG RED FAILSAFE button to hit thatll stop the ride quickly and safely, but since it's a carnival ride in the middle of a (???) concrete suburb I am doubting the brainchildren behind this thing included it
I would sue that safety guy so quick
What safety guy? lol
I'm sure you would... 😒
Sue for what? A piece of colorful plastic trim fell off. And it doesn't look like anyone was actually hurt.
Guaranteed American comment 😂🤡🤦🏼♂️
You mean the student operating the ride
The safest ride at the fair:
I was on a similar ride at a local fair set up on a school football oval in Adelaide South Australia, and the safety lock that held me in my seat had malfunctiond. I had to hold on for dear life and really badly hurt my knee in the process. When the ride stopped I told the carnies what happened and showed them my leg, and they just gave me a refund and told me to go. I wanted to fight the carnies but my tough brother who is a soldier wouldn't let me fight them and just told me to leave it. About 6 months later I read about a guy in Perth Australia who came off the exact same ride and died. There were pictures of the ride in the news story and I am 99% sure that it was the same one that had malfunctioned when I rode it. I didn't know who to contact about this. It happened about 8 or 9 years ago.
As a person who spent decades building similar rides and rollercoasters - my recommendation is DONT RIDE THEM! Its all about engineering, state codes and inspectors! Operator error is also a big one!
I know but my friends won't listen. I only ride amusement park coasters.
Curious - why don’t you recommend riding? Genuinely wondering about this, as you mentioned that you’ve actually built similar rides.
ITS A ROCKET....ITS A PLANE... ITS A FLYING COASTER FAN....
Having fun always comes with risk. Ever been skydiving? It’s literally jumping out of a moving plane in the sky.
Point well taken especially the way things are these days so sad 🙏🙏🙏
As a former guy with common sense, that ride should’ve stopped immediately
😂😂Top comment
How much of the first clause does 'former' modify? Are you no longer a guy? 😂
Are you a woman now?
As a former guy without common sense, I’ll gladly become a vegetable for some thrills. 😂😂😂
This ride is terrifying and feels unsafe as is when on it I would be so terrified if this happened, I’m already hesitant to go on any carnival rides because of the many cases of fatalities and injuries Ive heard of over the years locally and online, and lack of safety and maintenance
Quit going to traveling carnivals 45 years ago after meeting a couple of people who traveled and worked on the rides.Realized that any machine that was put up,taken down and moved thousands of miles a year by those people could not be safe.But I have to say they have a better track record than you would expect.
I'm probably the 100th person to say this, but still I love the sight of the queued riders just unceremoniously turning around and leaving the maze. I mean, I'm sure they weren't being callous but it has the look of a group of people saying, "Nope, someone else's problem." :D
More like they were moving so they wouldn't be hit if another object flew off the ride. Plus there was a guy in a yellow jacket instructing them to leave.
Are you that bad with reality??? They were moving so they didn't get hit with crashing metal.
@@firstname9440 Siri what does "has the look of" mean?
I was a carnie for years only had one ride failure due to a air value, hit the emergency stop, lowered the ride manually from the hydrolic pressure release and got everyone off saft, it was the tornado, thus ride should have been stopped immediately.
If it's the same The Tornado we had here in Polk County, FL back in the '80s and '90s -- man... that was my absolute favorite carnival ride as a kid - well, once I was big enough to ride it. That, the swinging Viking Ship, the Rainbow, and... well, the one in this video 😂😂😂 This one never caused me any anxiety until I was about 30. But I'd still ride them all again today if I ever went back to one. However, I have injuries, disabilities - I think those rides would just activate pain, along with making my injuries worse.
@@FLQueerLiberal1982 it is the tornado from the 80s I was referring to.
Should shut down every amusement park in the country and make sure that there is a safety cutoff switches on all rides.
My kids used to get so irritated with me when I would not let them ride these types of rides at fairs. I have seen them being transported and setup and those guys doing it are most definitely not engineers and the rides are not inspected thoroughly. I would gladly let them ride anything they wanted at the permanent amusement parks because every ride was inspected very thoroughly on a daily basis.
I worked for a traveling amusement park, if people really knew about these machines, they'd never in a million years put their children or themselves on them.. Loose bolts, stress cracks that aren't visible to the naked eye or in places they can't be seen, hydrologics that have more time on them and their fluid than 24/365 mine machinery...If people only knew.. The object is to keep the machines running for long periods of time without having to do "full repairs" so the company can make as much profit as possible, before having to send the machine in for costly repairs.. And don't get me started on the food situation 😆 I don't ride these rides and I definitely don't eat the food, I'll leave it at that...
I've intuitively stayed away from them since teenagehood. Having played with 'weird stuff' in rivers and eaten my lunch without washing my hands as a kid, (oops) I'd rather risk the food.
this is why my dad refused to take me and my sister to little amusement parks when they were in town. I never understood why until i got older.
True story here; My mother-in-law took my children to the local fund raiser 3 day event for dinner and to ride these types of rides. First they filled up on fried chicken. Second, get on ride similar to what we see here.. While spinning around, up came their dinner flinging in the air. I guess the machine saved them from the food. LOL But seriously, when these companies roll into small town USA, they hire young kids to help with the assembly of these rides. Me being mechanically incline still recall some of the large diameter threaded rod ends with badly worn threads. Some cases the adult in charge of the assembly would simply chase the threads with a thread die so the mating part would thread on. Shoddy at best!!
Wow. This is disturbing to hear.
I don't think most people stop and think, "I am trusting my life and potentially my family's lives to the people who manufactured this thing and/or people who assemble, inspect, and/or operate this thing" If it's mounted on a trailer or disassembles for portability, forget it. "Torque spec? What's a torque spec?" (Metal piece yeets itself)
I was at a well know amusement park in northern Indiana when I was on a umbrella ride, similar to the one in the video. I always look at the engineering of things like this, and I noticed that the Umbrella in front of me was missing the bearing that the umbrella was supposed to swing back and forth on. After the ride, I told, and showed the operator of the ride the problem. The bearing had been missing for a while and was half way worn thru the metal that was supposed to house the bearing. There was a safety cable attached, but I wouldn't want my life depending on that safety cable. After I showed him, we walked away. But we kept walking by there to see if there were going to do anything about it. We walked by two times and they were still running the ride with the purple umbrella still having the problem, I told my GF that the third time we walked by there and there is nothing done about it, we will find someone in management. Our third time by there, they were taking that purple umbrella off of the ride.
Narc
@@budddove6480Narcs rat people out for smoking grass, not for stopping senseless and preventable deaths.
@@budddove6480 because allowing someone to sustain injury in the future is better? Sad thr way kids' minds operate with lack of empathy for human safety 🙄 If it was meant to work with a cable, it wouldn't have been designed with a bearing. Think before you speak otherwise you just look damn stupid and heartless 🤷🏼♀️
An operator is not a maintenance guy nor the technician, mechanic. You have to grab the owner or mechanic (they usually lurk nearby) and show them, then tell them that the people in charge of the laws governing carnivals, fairs and the use of equipment like this will be notified of the hazard.
@@budddove6480What does that even mean? It's a safety hazard
My mom always refused to get on rides that weren’t permanent fixtures.
I would never ride on a temporary fairground ride, and that video shows the reason why. Temporary. Badly installed, badly maintained. Why didn't the operator hit the emergency stop button?
I love how the people in line just went "nope i like living"
hahaha I just noticed that. They are like F this
Hats off to those fearless people still standing calmly in line.
Makes you proud to be British
Guess they all waited in line to try this new human sling shot ride. 😂
Some times the right thing is run , Some times it's stand perfectly still and hope everything misses you, some times It's losing all your bladder control.... I suspect this group did all of those in reverse order 😂
Bowel control in certain cases
Lol, now this is the best comment
I live in a small town and whenever the fair came to town they would hire the local boys to assemble the rides. My older brother said they would not have enough screws and bolts and were told to make sure they put them in the front where people could see them and not to worry about the rest.
This is exactly why I don’t go on these types of rides anymore. Some safety issue is almost always overlooked.
