Being stranded there would be boring, but probably not really that unsafe. Like they’re on a flat surface even if they’re 100 feet up in the air.

What would be unsafe is is they were trapped halfway down the ramp. Then, gravity might pull them the rest of the way down sooner or later.

Still your legs are up in the air. Blood flowing back down and making them sleepy. Bet it wasn’t easy getting out of that chair and into the ladder platform.

I would not enjoy being 100 feet in the air on something obviously broken.

Based on the video, it's more likely they pissed in their own faces.

It is proximate to College Station, they probably could charge extra for the option.

Another reason to avoid those rides.

I’m not a fan of heights. It’s largely something I overcome but it’s not comfortable, lol. My rational mind can overcome the fear. This doesn’t help though. Hahaha

I can rock climb no problem but ladders are no Bueno. If there's pine straw on my roof it's gonna have to stay up there.

I’ve felt the same way my entire life. Why would I put my life in danger like that?
