    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.

      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.

    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.

    I nearly fell out of one of those egg shaped car ferris wheels back in the 80's. They put a wire mesh across the opening shortly after as the lap bar came loose and it was only my mate hanging on to me stopped me falling out as the car spins on each rotation of the wheel.

    The amount of disasters that happen on carnival rides is kind of scary to think about. I remember a specific one that happened in my country when I was younger, a big tall ride kind of like this one but tens of metres higher crashed the the ground and there was a ride for young children right beneath that it fell on top of. They’re kind of cheaply made and purposefully easy to take apart for relocation. Also, never get on just about any kind of ride if you have to go to the bathroom, yes, they can stop it, but they sometimes can’t get it back up and running for a long while and they can’t always get you out.

      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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    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 🤷‍♀️

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.

    It's not exactly "falling apart". You can clearly see that the ride was set up too close to the back drop wall causing the ride to hit it which ripped off some external peices. The ride itself doesn't appear to be faulty in anyway.

    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 😆

      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!!

    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!

    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." ❤

    When I was a kid a friend of mine's father was part of these touring fairs. He saw first hand how they were put together, by who, and with what type of quality control. He wouldn't let us on half the rides knowing the safety standards and the level of qualification for the operators. They have very old equipment, usually do make-shirt repairs when needed, quick assembly and disassembly, and unfortunately do not pay for qualified employees. Makes for dangerou situations.

    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.

    The true risks of these rides are carefully suppressed. Very little safety checks and if parts are replaced, they are replaced with cheaper alternatives. Larger theme parks like M&Ds etc are known to demand that a non- disclosure is signed by the victim or victims family before any money is paid out. Meaning you can be sued for simply telling your story and the processes that the company took. My ex partner received £25k for breaking her neck on a ride at M&Ds back in the early 2000's, she was threatened with a lengthy law suit if she were to speak to the papers. Your safer letting your children run along the train tracks folks.

      Stationary rides are more dangerous than mobile ones.
      This looks like a scenery panel flew off. In that case it was not properly pinned in and the pin was not secured with R key, maybe the R key was Worn and came loose.
      Or at night time someone took a R key out, and the Foreman of the ride failed to do a proper inspection that morning. The fault is going to lay on the foreman and not the company.

      I am a retired circus performer. I have been around rides, at least occasionally, for almost 70 years. I know almost as many ride owners as I do circus owners.
      All ride owners are almost paranoid about safety, if only because of what they stand to lose. Every ride is thoroughly inspected every time it is set up and every day before beginning operation. The daily inspection is key spots subject to wear and an operation check. Many locations such as fairs and some local jurisdictions have their own inspectors and safety regulations as well. Insurance companies are also involved in safety. No one can operate without insurance.
      This applies in the US Canada and Mexico to my personal knowledge and undoubtedly most other countries as well.
      The owners are mostly family people. They have to take what they can get, but no owner or manager would ever knowingly allow anyone unfit to work any contact with the public or operate equipment.
      Nevertheless, rides are very complicated. Parts fail suddenly, even with inspection and ride operators make mistakes.
      Like others, I can not understand why this ride was not stopped quicker. There is an emergency stop button, which will turn off both electric motors and hydraulic pumps.
