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.
deal
If you dont schedule preventative maintenance on any machine, dont worry, the machine will schedule it for you.
who else thought someone fell off
Only you
^ Haa ha ha ^

It looks like someone flew out of that sucker.
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.
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.
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
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.
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???
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?
Went from scary ride to a SCARY RIDE real quick😂
Getting on a fair ride is almost as stupid as paying taxes
Everything is collapsing in the west wtf
@@ChelseaChfy-ex1po You should see how bad China is collapsing. xD
YES!!! Just say NO! ❤🇺🇸
or taking a video shot in proper orientation and converting to vertical! SMDH
The people next in line agreed and left.
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.
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
That ride operator deserves jail time for not stopping the ride and the carnival needs to be closed down forever.
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 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
Don’t ride carnival or fair rides. You’re risking your life.
Don’t drive to work either or buy raw chicken
No kidding. And if that was me in line I would have hopped the fence instead of following everyone else.
@@MCMonte713comparisons come hard to you, don’t they?

Be sure to wear bubble wrap everywhere you go
You got a bunch of Joe dirts putting up and running these rides … it’s your own fault …..
Worse than Joe dirts of the world
Someone was thrown from that ride and no one stopped to help him/her! I know it’s already been said, but this fairground should DEFINITELY be sued!
No es una persona , la atracción se está desbaratando
It was a piece of machinery.
If people saw who was setting these things up, nobody would ride them
Mainly homeless crackheads
@happi..QUIEN?
A guy that's been up 4 days with a cigarette in his mouth
@@icummins1806that’s methed up
You mean how.....
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...
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.
And I never touched the stop button. Put everyone's life in danger. One hell of a lawsuit
Why didn't u hit the stop button
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
Safety third!
@@ajx1994he made another comment about the first rule, for me it's the second to the top
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 😂😂
One look at the kind of people that work a carnival is all I need to know to not use those rides
First Rule of Fairground Ride Club;
Never ride any Fairground Ride.
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 🥲🥲🥲
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
😂
@@peterparker6584this was the most incoherent, inaccurate accumulation of information on the internet today.
@@peterparker6584 people dont hang for multiple days. A ladder fire track could be there in 10 minutes. And yes they do stop rides when pieces start flying off
Да хоть и нет, могли бы, выключить питание и всё, а не смотреть на это
I'm convinced fair rides only exist to help fight overpopulation.
Big red button is there for a reason.
Similar thing happened at Dream World in Australia. A big red button wasn’t pushed when it could’ve saved someone’s life.
Half screaming for their life and the other half clueless and wooing
I bet theres at least one just enjoying it😂
It was only a bit of the sign board to be fair 😂
Lmaooo
The one wooing has probs challenging behavours, with his careworker 😂
Yeah I'm supprised there aren't More considering traveling fair grounds always look like they are 100 years old 😂
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.
Ride operator: there’s still 30 seconds left on the ride.. they paid for that 30 seconds
That's the PRICE...YOU have to PAY...for trying to have a "ride " at fun fairs......😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
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.
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??
EVERYONE ignored the person who was thrown.
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..
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
Never trust a fair ride. Thats always been my motto
How many health and safety checks are really done on pop up fairs??
Clearly not enough
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 😂
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
Why in the hell do people still get on these things. Boycott them!
Anyone ever had to take something apart and put it back together many times? Maybe an entertainment center, metal shelf, piece of furniture or literally anything that requires you to disassemble it to move it? You know how rickety it starts to get after a while and how the screws just don't tighten the same, the slot they go into starts to be loose, and things of that sort, sometimes so much that it has a bit of a wobble when you touch it? Think of how often these rides are assembled, moved, disassembled, moved, over and over. And, you have to hope that the person setting it up and putting it together didn't do it in so much of a hurry to have it up and ready that they ultimately half-assed it. You also have hope that the person inspecting the ride does their job and isn't willing to ignore any issues. There's all sorts of examples, but I'm sure people get the point. Just think about that for a minute and how old these rides are and it causes you to have less faith in the structural integrity of any ride or attraction in a fair that travels the country or multi-state region.
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.

@@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
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
YES, AS A FORMER RIDE OPERATOR, WHY ARE THEY NOT HITTING THE EMERGENCY RED BUTTON STOP?!!!!
People don't understand you cant just stop the ride at any given time the machine needs to go back to its neutral position
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. ❤
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 🙏🙏🙏
This is you don’t do fairground rides…fairgrounds have the worst regulations on safety
I'm not trying to be ugly, but I find it ironic people who want to ride rides that flirt with death, then when death faces them they scream and no longer want anything to do with it. Where was the common sense before getting on those rides?
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. 😂😂😂
I don’t believe in riding carnival rides anymore. They just aren’t safe. People today are evil, take no pride in their work, and most of them are on drugs. Who knows who assembled those things and how well they did it . Plus there’s no accountability
Hey, some people on drugs take immense pride in their work.
I think carnies have always been on drugs.
@@AnthonySmith-sc4zsagreed
They hire random people in the town that they are in
That's Johnnie over there!
They should have pushed the EMERGENCY 🚨 button to turn it off, Or unplugged it from whatever. No way in hell!! Those rides at local fairgrounds have been passed down from generation after generation. Painted a cushion fixed here and there. And it’s ready to roll. That is bonkers
Oh for goodness sake. Push the big red button that says STOP.
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 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 went to the fair grounds as they were begining to set up the rides one year. I sat across the road and watched them. I'll be nice. Every single ride that had missing pieces to begin with had plenty to spare after they were assembled. Rides that should have took days to assemble were done in hours, woth plenty of spare parts too. The swings OH HELL NO!!! TOOTHPICKS WERE THE SAFETY PINS THAT WERE SUSPOSED TO KEEP THAT CROSS BAR SUPPORTING THE SWING FROM VIBRATING OUT OF THE 2 METAL HOLES AT THE TOP! BE SAFE IF THE OPERATOR IS DRUNK THERES PROBABLY A REASON!! IT'S NOT EASY TO GET THE SOBER ONES TO OPERATE THE WORST ONES. WE GO FOR THE EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT A RIDE, AND STILL HAVE A GREAT TIME.
Don't women normally scream like that when they're having fun too
The operators are usually high on speed.
And mostly run by Irish travellers who like to lure and rip off the innocent by running unsafe and dangerous rides.. hence I don't approach or deal with funfairs like this.
@@ians4564 I agree.
By carries who smell like cabbage
True... Because of long hours, customer interaction, the environment of fair workers...many factors as to why speed is the drug of choice with these folks
How would you know that?
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
I will never go on local fair rides and have never allowed my children to ride them.
Where the absolute hell is the rides operator!?!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!! And why the hell hasn't someone else hit the emergency stop button it's the big red button and above it and below it it says emergency stop!!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!!
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
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.
It’s weird how nobody unplug the damn thing
Stay away from carnival rides they don't maintain them like they used to and they could have stopped that right away!
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

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.
There were several fair ride accidents in a row a few years ago. Although tempted, I choose to not ride them anymore.
I can never understand why people pay money to die.
Going on these rides is stupidity at its finest.
Walking out of line like you just watched final destination IRL 😭
Outrageous!!!!
Big Facts
😅😂
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.

Hope everyone was ok. I went on a date to a local carnival one night, with my now husband. This was back in the early 90s when women loaded their hair with Aqua Net Hairspray, including me. Anyway, we went on the Flying Bobs ride, which were 2 person cars that went around in a circle, moving up and down, by lights and graffiti painted walls, as loud rock music played. (Halfway through the ride, it moves backwards for a while too.) When the ride stopped, my hair was standing straight up and forward, like the backwards movement had frozen it in time (or I was a cartoon of a person who stuck their finger in a light socket). I was mortified, as people stared and chuckled. My husband and I looked at eachother and burst out laughing. It was then that it began raining, pasting my hair down flat, and making my makeup run down my face. Most of the people left the park, but without lines, we decided to stay and hit every ride before they finally closed everything down. I began the evening as a glamorous lady, and ended it as a kid with my best friend, laughing and playing in the rain, and racing back to our car. That's when I knew that he was the kind of man that I wanted to marry. Over 34 years later, and a whole lifetime of adventures (and challenges), we're still best friends, who still enjoy eachother's company, and laugh at life every day. We've been asked, many times, what the key is to a happy marriage, and love, loyalty, compromise, consideration, and a great sense of humor are the top 5. If you can laugh at life, and stick together (through thick and thin), you can get through anything, including the hard times (of which there are many in life). Wishing everyone who reads this finds the love of their life, and a happy, healthy, relationship. "No man is an island." ❤
You should write a love story...you had me hooked line and sinker...😮👏👏👏
This is so wholesome and heartwarming!
Beautiful.
The man who has peace is an island.
That is a great beginning to a wonderful story. Your marriage is certainly blessed.
My wife Penny and I worked as EMT/Paramedic partners on the ambulance for many years. We were a great team on and off duty, building a successful life together.
I knew Penny for 43 years. Unfortunately, she passed away suddenly in 2020. I love and miss her so much.
But life goes on.
Operator should be jailed. Hit the big red button you incompetent fools.
You obviously never ever operated a fairground ride, or learned about advanced dynamical physics for that matter. There's nothing more dangerous and hurtful for the people strapped in than just cutting off power, losing momentum and inertia and thus make it accelerate towards globe's center with 9.81 m/s^2.
It probably wasnt working
@@manfredschmalbach9023man, there should be a safety mechanism that would in case of emergency slowly stoped it and lowered it back to starting position so no one gets more hurt
@manfredschmalbach9023 and you don't think they have an emergency way to stop it safely? No one ask for it to stop in an instant.
@@nguyep4 If you would just brush up on your advanced dynamical physics, you wouldn't ask such silly questions. Gradually slowing down? Brakes? Safety? Impossible.
Most people would never interact with, give money to or be served food by the typical "carney" type that work the fairs, carnivals, etc. But we'll trust them with the safety of ourselves and our children without hesitation when we're at said event.
Everybody in line was like, "Nope." Meanwhile, I'm sitting in the comfort of my home like, "Nope."
I remember as a kid my dad wouldnt let us go on rides at carnivals and fairs he said they hired tramps and hobos to put rides up and take them down for booze money. No safety inspections or maintenance records were ever done. He knew what he was talking about.
Tramps and hobos? Classy dad, great role model.
@@user-kx8hv3vm4vshut up you self-righteous Jesuit priest! You know the point trying to be made. Growing up, it was different times and YES people would do anything to make and save a dime. Both parties are guilty. Stop tryna sound like you’re above the rest
that's kinda funny though...tramps and bums...lol
@@user-kx8hv3vm4v Drug addicts and criminals would work too.
@@user-kx8hv3vm4vGet a life
I’ve never yelled stop so many times at a UA-cam clip in my life!
Tweaker's should not be in charge of putting rides together😂
I have not, and will not, ever trust FAIRGROUND rides for this reason 😂
Well as a third generation carnival worker/ game and ride owner. I am completely appalled by this. Obviously what ever show this is, is not a very reputable or responsible. And as for all the people that say they "worked" for the carnival, you are obviously a 40 miler( someone that only works 1 or 2 spots and never truly traveled). As for the rides being put together with R keys you are correct, but so are the rides at any amusement park. It is very common practice for manufacturers to use pins in their design. And yes I will agree that there are drug addicts and alcoholics working for many shows, but can one person name any company that has never had a problem with that? It all comes down to the owners of the company and a carnival is nothing but a company. So you shouldn't judge all carnivals and all workers by the actions of a few. If you are going to judge one you should judge all by the same standards. E.G. all persons of religion should be looked at the same as any priest involved in a sexual scandal, every man should be looked at like Hitler and every woman should be looked at like Elizabeth Bathfree. And in closing does anyone know how often a federal inspector is tasked to check carnival rides for safety? It's every time they are set up, to where as amusement park rides are only inspected every 3 to 4 years.
Elizabeth Bathfree? I bet she stinks...
That's interesting that federal inspectors are supposed to check these rides every time they're set up. Yet only every 3-4 years for amusement park rides?!

Couldn't pay me enough money to get on a Ride like that
Thank you for the fun you brought with you. People seem to forget what happened at Alton Towers the smiler. Accidents happen and so does human error.
This is exactly why I will never let my family on one of these death traps. Carnies are the worst elements. Do not get on one of these rides ever.
** To add context for all those who still think these rides are some way of proving your ability to live life, just know in America there is no oversight for these rides. No one is coming to inspect them for safety. No one is regulating who or how they operate these machines. There is absolutely no safety regulations for a single one of these potential death traps. Because of this there is no data on the number of deaths and injuries that occur every year. None. However if you just do a simple google search you will find these accidents are not uncommon. If you’re a grown adult and you choose to put yourself on an overpriced, rickety, vomit rocket run by meth heads and convicts then that’s your prerogative. But I won’t be putting my family at risk for something that isn’t worth it. Now you at least know what you’re getting into when you take these rides. For the record I’m a combat veteran who has put himself at risk far more than most people.
Agreed. Once I have kids they will not be allowed on.
I know a few people who worked on them that both witnessed accidents, one is a paramedic and the other is a carnie girl. Severe casualties on both.
It was only a bit of the sign board..
Totally dude 😆 I would NEVER let my family on one of these death traps, like WTF.
NEVER, EVER would I 😳🥺
#🌯
What do you do to keep your phone family in a bubble?Bless their heart😢
That ride operator should have been fired !!!!!
He's a carnie, bro.
why the hell aren't they stopping the ride? people were terrified on there?!
It was the triangle light panel in the centre of the ride. If you look right at the beginning you see it come off and then hit the metal beam holding the seats, which catapulted it out onto the ground*.
Floor? It looks like it hit the ground
@@brianmadsen11~Smart Ass
i guess in all fairness that was in the title lol everybody seemed to default to body flying off (myself included lol)
I had to watch several times before I realised that it WASN'T a body flying off....
Who else thot that piece was a person 😂
?
There you go. And learn how to spell.
No one on Earth. Buy glasses
thought or hoped?
You mean it wasnt!
🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Horrwndous. That operator needs immediate dismissal
Why are people so dumb? Just standing there with your hands in your pocket while a giant piece of a fair ride is flying towards you...
I got a rule, i aint getting on a ride that took 30 mins to build in the parking lot
I totally agree 👍
I worked on one of these Fairgrounds before, I noticed multiple health code violations and safety violations.
The stress of it all made me quit in the first week cuz they had us building these machines during a class 0-1 hurricane. May not sound like much but when you're trying to build one of these rope climbing tower things and the thing keeps leaning.
The smallest hurricane is still part of the worst category of weather.
Just remember folks, the people that inspect these rides are the same people that inspect elevators.
It's a well known established fact, carnival rides are built by uncertified, nontrained personnel, and by choosing to participate in these events that you willfully take your life in your hands.
