The Carny starts laughing and reaches for the controls to speed it up a notch. My bro and I looked at each other and walked away... decided we wouldn't be goin on the Zipper that day.

    My first roller coast was the Ring of Fire at the Abilene State Fair. It's just a ring. Just one loop. You start off rocking back and forth and next thing you know you're doing loops... well... when we juuuust got to the top... like the fiiirst time we were completely upside down... my lap latch broke. My safety latch broke and if it wasn't for the fiberglass canopy of the ride, I would have fallen to my death and my body mauled by a rollercaster. Death scream. Instantly. What was everyone else doing? Laughing. Everyone, laughing. I remember one lady saying to stop the ride as I was passing the operator and HE was laughing! I punched him and screamed at him when I got off and had a full on panic attack at 9 years old. My dad was telling me it was alright and I remember screaming "it's not okay!" I followed my family around the rest of the time and watched them ride rides. I still hold that grudge to this day. "Overeacting".

    I used to run a 1950s wheel, we would rock it and shake it, then stop it at the top for 10-15 min for a couple on a date when we were not busy. Aside from the sketchy loading platform didnt have many incidents. I finally got the arcade shift and the tension cable on the wheel broke that night, full load in a free spin for an hour and half. The tilt whirl would light you up with 480v if you touched it in the rain.

    I’d heard this growing up as well and it never made sense to me either. His point about the constant inspections makes sense, and I know from personal experience that some bigger theme parks rides are only inspected yearly at best (for specific tests at least) but those bigger theme parks are not deconstructing/constructing the rides every other week.
