I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often

Holy moly! Ouch...

 

Maybe you meant "I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often in US."

 

I am not... We're not India. We have at least a modicum of safety regs in place and a little respect for human life, unless you're patronizing carneys in Florida. 😏 

 

Most people in 3rd world countries aren't out at carnivals, they are out digging rare-earth minerals with their hands for the iPhone screen that takes those pictures.

What does that mean?


it means I spent 3 months working in India and based on my experiences 

 

people would be AMAZED at what 5 men can do with a pulley and rope. 
 

and one of those men had 1 arm. 
 

They moved 1000 pounds of equipment 15 feet into the air w/o batting and eye. 
 

 

so put the racist shady thoughts away 

Had it happen in any country besides India would you have even responded?

Congrats, you spent 3 whole months there. That gives you free reign to make racist comments? :rolleyes:

Oh lighten up for Chrissakes 🙄.  I know exactly what he is referring to and it has nothing to do with racism.  I recently watched a video of a carnival in India where a Ferris wheel type ride was literally operated by man power.  Find something better to B word about dude…

What? Not riding a death trap at a ***** carnival?

 

LOL!  Sorry bro, that wasn't mean for you (it's the first name of the character in JH's avatar). 

 

And FTR, I wouldn't ride a traveling carnival ride here in the US, much less abroad.

Don’t sweat it brotha.   He’s a prick to everyone.  Are you not familiar with Doc’s “work?”

 

Nope.  Just to pricks.  Especially ones who think they're smarter than they really are.

Me too.

 

I know the big parks have a lot of regulations and safety precautions and probably follow the rules. But I'm very suspicious of small fairs and carnivals. Have you gotten a look at the people tending the rides?  Do they look like the types that check all the bolts (for example) every day?  I wouldn't be surprised if they loosened them half a turn every day, just to see what happens. Probably be the most exciting day they have all summer, should their ferris wheel crash mid-ride. Plus they'd probably get the rest of the day off.
