One seat took the direct hit from the counterweight. No way that person survived

That gave Scruffy anxiety just watching and not knowing when it would snap.

Damn.

TBF, if this was in America the ride wouldn't even move bc of the fatties.



Saudi Arabia (38.13%) ain't far behind the United States(41.64%) for obesity rate.

I mean, to be honest, this is the sort of thing I'd expect to see in Akry, Mississippi or La, not Saudi Arabia...

Had the upper section not stopped it, the ride could have flipped. I think that would have been a far worse outcome

I didn't watch close enough to see if it was a full ride. Maybe nobody was in the seats that took the direct hit?

One person got thrown way off the fenced area. That will leave a mark??


I believe you're seeing a shoe flying

I don't understand how the person(s) that took the direct hit from the counterweight weren't insta-dead

The US is overegulated, but when it to safety stuff, I think know we do it right and few other countries do.

The people in the states you mentioned are vastly more intelligent than the average Saudi Arabian.
