This will not discourage those wanting rides to get on.

Probably not. Myself, I don't even go to fairs these days.

@JolietJake I am talking of those who are 'ride-crazy' I have never gone on those rides. I had many opportunities. The only experience I had was with the giant wheel when I was in my teens.

THAT is probably the worst I've seen . . . oh how tragic. Ever since I had seen such videos, we don't go on these rinky dink carnival rides anymore . . . I cringe passing by those small time carnivals. But this one is a state fair - ugh - we're going to the county fair in a couple months.

It makes you wonder if you should ever get on a ride. You would think that maintenance should prevent it from happening.

That's why I stay away from carnival rides now.

While I was watching the video, my husband immediately said "see! I told you those things are dangerous". I know I will never be able to ride one again. I am sorry for those people.
