All you have to do is observe the people who work in them. No way in hell I trust my life to a machine they maintain.

My mama would have a fit if my daddy let us ride one of the temporary carnival rides. When we were little, a kid got killed at a Knights of Columbus fair on a ride.

I read that they were shutting down the fair in False River until the rides are inspected. Maybe inspect before kids are hurt?

Have you ever seen one with a full set of teeth? They can’t maintain what’s in their mouth, why would you think they could maintain the machines?

I rode most rides when I was a kid. Sketchy looking people working them too. Never saw or heard of anyone getting killed at the time.

Like anything else, at some point something will happen unfortunately. Those rides are put up by a bunch of meth heads who probably have gone a week without sleeping so you never know what will happen, but I am sure they pay a lot in insurance so there is someone there making sure there are no obvious problems.

When I drove by and saw what looked like a Mexican woman doing maintenance on the ferris wheel I said someone is going to get hurt. I was right.

Don’t hate on Carnies. They have to stand there all day and put up with fatties and kids and fat kids bitching about making the ride go faster.
You’d be smoking meth too.
