I’m not putting my life in the hands of those carnies who put the rides together.

I was in line waiting once to climb aboard a fair ride when I noticed the base of the ride was supported by 8x8 lumber. All was fine until the group ahead of us (my niece & I) started their ride.....and the base as the ride was spinning was lifting off the block of wood a good 6 inches....I convinced
the niece the ride wasn’t worth the wait.

Wven if I trusted the carnies and the state inspector, that 26 years I spent as a mechanic make me nervous of this rides because I know anything mechanical can and will fail.

But your odds are probably better of dying in your car on the way to the fair.
