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
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.

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
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.
@@MyVisualRomanceempty soul
@@MyVisualRomancefunny soul
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 .😂
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.

Only you

It looks like someone flew out of that sucker.
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…(?)
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.
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.
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?
Ride operator was busy in reading comments on youtube shorts😂
Haha
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? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
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???
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.
The most horrific part is being turned upside down!
Many years ago, my brother worked on a carnival crew. The ride he operated was called the saucer. It was a huge round ride the would go one side all the way up, and the drop to a down position.
Before every set up he checked every thing from top to bottom. Unfortunately it caught fire while in operation. Fortunately no one got injured but he lived with that for years.
It amazes me that people put their lives in danger every day for something so simple.
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
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.
As a professional lawn care specialist, i can say with total confidence that this is not a grass issue.
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.
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
Final destination will just get you in another way 🤭👹
Im still in my childhood i dont want to have a boring one
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 😂😂
My dumbass thought that banner was a human 💀
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.
If people saw who was setting these things up, nobody would ride them
Mainly homeless crackheads

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.
No reason for not hitting the emergency shot down panic button. The operator is now liable as well as the carnival owner.
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.
@@jonmyers8046 Depends who built it and when... I'm looking at you Boeing...
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 !!!
Ppl in line: welp! On to the bumper boats.
The operator is like, "y'all still have 5 minutes to go."
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.
Rule number 2 when machine starts falling apart stop the ride
What is Rule number 1?...
@@ajx1994ignore rule 2
The more that falls off it then the faster it can spin, hence making the experience more thrilling as you wonder if you'll survive

Careful Piers. There’s a pattern son.
A rider queef caused all that damage. Take queefing seriously.
Wtf is queefing ?
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.
Word
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

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.

To be fair, he was only setting up the fair ride because he had been laid off from Boeing...
Dont forget the duct tape
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?
@@joshuaschaefer1147 Knoebels is my guess,
Nobody cares, meemaw
I was curious. Troll!@@HerrKommandant1161
knoebels. they are meticulous and really care about their guests.
To be fair, the operator was doing meth with the carnival’s safety officer at the time.
Gotta love how everyone ran to help the person out.
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 🥲🥲🥲
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
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
That ride MUST be stopped immediately.
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?
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.
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.
Rider entertainment more important than safety! The operator should be jailed!
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.
🙏🏾 craziness out here
Ya this is not the same
Very sad and absolutely heartbreaking.
@@JesusChrist-ck2sf You're brain doesn't seem to be working properly.
I'm so sorry
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 ?
Why wasn't the ride stopped?? That needs to be addressed!!!
I know right
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
Back when I was around 12 in the early 90s a carnival with rides even larger than this one was held at a mall parking lot outside Rochester NY (Eastview). My friend and I rode a ride that was like a big Ferris wheel that was fast and had cars that would spin you upside down fast and repeatedly as the main Ferris wheel was spinning as well. They put a bar over your midsection to hold you in from falling out. Sometimes the ride would come to brief stops just hold you upside down for a few seconds. I was very skinny and was slipping through the bar and had to hold on for dear life. I was crying my ass off. I was losing my grip as the ride went on and my hands got sweatier and sweatier. I would have fallen around 50 feet on the asphalt parking lot to my death if I didn’t do everything I could to hold on. My friend next to me was having the time of his life laughing his ass off and thought I was doing the same (I was hysterically crying) which made the situation that much worse as I felt even more helpless for some reason. I had no choice but to hold on and wait out the ride. Don’t risk going on traveling carnival rides they are put up way too fast and carelessly. Easily the closest I have ever come to dying in my life. The name of the ride was “Terminator “ haha

@ToddCrispies - A similar thing happened to me when I was around 14, I was very petite and light in weight. I went on a fast spinning fairground ride, like a cup, with my two friends and I sat in the middle of them, thankfully. As the ride built up speed, I started to slip under the lap-down safety bar. One of my shoes fell off and flew away. The ride was going so fast, we couldn't speak, I couldn't scream out what was happening but thankfully my friends on either side individually saw that I was slipping under the safety bar and they both linked arms with me to hold me in the seat. That was frightening. I eventually found my shoe - I really hope it didn't hurt anyone as it landed near the queue of people waiting to get on the ride!
@@anitarogers2877 its crazy how more people don’t get killed on these ghetto ass carnival rides!
That's part of the fun and effect! What's a ride without the fear of death? Literal or assumed.
Bless ur heart. ❤
Ride operator --- If this ever happens to you again, kindly shut down the ride BEFORE you get the hell outta dodge!!
Some people have no “preserve your life” skills. Ride is falling apart and people are literally walking the predetermined path. Not me! I’m tearing the fence down. Who’s with me?!?
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..
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 simple solution... don't ride in the first place.
Although this looks bad I’m a ride operator and the part of the ride this fell off is just theming and doesn’t affect the safety of the ride in any way the only danger is from the fallen part is it striking a rider on the descent, the media like to give us a bad rep this ride will be perfectly safe and could be reopened the same day, and you also will never fall out of a ride most big rides use a 3 Part locking system consisting of 2 hydraulic cylinders a ratchet like system and magnets all of these need to fail before a safety bar can release
Walking out of line like you just watched final destination IRL 😭
Outrageous!!!!
Big Facts
😅😂
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.

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
The craziest part is that people had to be told to leave the queue 🤣 they were willing to risk everything for a turn
They were already leaving before the guy came over.
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.
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
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
Was the operator an incompetent DEI hire?? Hit the red button FFS!!

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 😂
As a former guy with common sense, that ride should’ve stopped immediately

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. 😂😂😂
I never ride on rides at fairs, I have seen the guys who assemble and maintain them , half of them looked like meth addicts.
BIG, Red Button usually labeled “EMERGENCY STOP” would have been my first move…
Secondly, I cannot get myself to get on rides at temporary places like fairs and carnivals because of the lack of over-sight…ohh AND…around ten years ago when the usual, yearly fair came to my hometown I worked at a store not far from the location of the fair and watched the people as they built all the rides and got everything all set up…numerous trips were made to my store to replenish empty 24oz beers of different varieties!!!
Their level of “yeah I don’t care that this looks horrible” along with no attempt to disguise or hide the fact that they were indeed building ferris wheels and the like right up the street was jaw dropping!
Stupid crews didn't even realize the danger and calmly walking around
They didn't panic and it looks like they cleared everyone away safely.
Relax ....
They moved back, isn't there an emergency stop button?
@@ngocphan-wg3chthats what i was thinking...obviously just more concerned with their own safety.
Er, they moved bloody fast to clear everyone away including all those queuing to go on faulty ride next
That’s what happens when you pay druggies for rides and put kids in them.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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 🙏🙏🙏
Why didn't they bring the ride to a stop. Their lives are endangered.
Until the safety inspectors responsible for keeping up with the strict state regulations over carnival and theme parks rides this kind of thing will continue to happen as well as people getting seriously injured and killed. !! We NEVER get on these rides anymore. Too many are having serious issues and people are getting seriously injured and killed. Too many hire teens and they aren't properly trained and don't take the safety of the people seriously. Too many of these rides are not kept up and have worn or broken parts that caused serious accidents! Inspectors are not doing their job ! It's too dangerous. I value my and my family's lives more than a ride. And just another note for you parents, these ADULT rides were NOT designed for young children to ride on and have not been tested for the safety of small children! Same thing with water slides !!! Think very hard before allowing your young children to get on any of these. Children have been killed on these rides and water rides !!
I’ve never yelled stop so many times at a RUclips clip in my life!
You yell at clips? On your phone ? Out loud ? Interesting. I just hit the like button.
I used to work at a carnival when i was young.
I ALWAYS tell people to NEVER get on the rides.
The amount of safety failures mixed with alcohol is absolutely ridiculous.
These days it's meth more than alcohol
@@elfnetdesigns702 there were a fair bit of drugs back in the day as well to be honest.
Hey now [hic] don't be.... Don't be... Don't That's not true. Weeeeellll maybe it is, but it's not. Hey you got any weed?? No ok gotta go fix this .....this this . Ridy thing
@@kevincarter6001 😂
And meth
As a kid, me and my two cousins (same age) used to visit my grandmother in Far Rockaway. We got pocket money to go to the Playland out there. My cousins wanted to go on such rides as the Round-up. To them this was fun. I didn't even enjoy watching it, it looked so scary. Thankfully, the young man who was running this ride overheard my cousins pressuring me to go on. He stepped in and asked me if I wanted to take the ride. When I said no, he pulled me out of the line and had me stand next to him as he opperated the ride. I was very grateful. I could never trust (or enjoy) something like this.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
My cousin Kevin worked the rides at Playland for years in his teens and 20's. Great, kind guy
They paid for this ride, by golly they are gonna enjoy the whole damn thing 😂
"This ride turned out even scarier. We are going to have to charge you extra."
Freekin hilarious
@@dennismoore7780FORRRR REAAAL😂🤣😅
Hahaha! 😂
Bahahaha!😂
🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂
The fact that I’ve been on this ride several times and was looking forward to the next time, and now feeling like I shouldn’t be near it is sad. Hope everyone is safe.
Just a gentle reminder that all the skilled tradesmen are not working at the carnival.
Finally a reason to scream on a ride
First Rule of Fairground Ride Club;
Never ride any Fairground Ride.
Went from scary ride to a SCARY RIDE real quick😂
The “emergency stop” button on pretty much anything dangerous should’ve probably been used here… It’s not like it’s hard to find it is literally a big red button that says “emergency stop”…
Notice all the people LEAVING the line!😂
I love how the people in line just went "nope i like living"
hahaha I just noticed that. They are like F this
