Amusement ride in Saudi Arabia snaps in half. 3 critical. I don’t trust these rides at all.

I used to love carnivals and amusement park rides. Carnivals especially, I realized don't keep their shyt up to par.
Most of these ride were invented in the usa. And i know we have a bunch of safety regulation to adhere to maintain legality for operation.
Have no idea what the requirements are in other countries. but i know even with all of ours we still have the occasional accident.
Seems risky to go to saudi arabia and do it.

If it regularly gets put up and taken down, fukk no. I’ve been on that since I was a kid. Carnivals are food and games only.


I'm a natually thrill seeking dude, so it's not the craziness of the ride that has me shook. I was on this ride call the zipper, used to love that shyt as a kid. It had an even crazier setup than this. It was this 4 or 5 story tall rotating rectangle with individual carts in it. Think if a ferris wheel was just a giant rectangle but rotated the exact same way, and the the carts themselves would spin separately from the larger portion of the ride. I was on it one time, and no bullshyt I heard 2 screws/bolts fall out. Never been on a carnival ride since.

I’m just gonna come on out and say that a burka in a carnival ride is anachronistic and should be a good heads up that maybe on the carny level, safety might not be up to task. Folks would’ve been good with a festival sticking to their own level of local culture.
