I do not know about you would feel if any of us would be trapped inside a seat of an amusement park located in Panama City Florida when one rider whose name was not released had the bad luck of being trapped in his seat 55 feet off of the ground floor aboard the ride called "The Vomatron." The cause of the ride being stopped in mid air was because the power that was being used to make the ride work suddenly went out. Thank goodness the Bay County Fire And Rescue team used a ladder to get the rider out of danger and back to the ground safe and sound. The condition of the rider is that despite being shaken, he is all right physically wise. I am sure that the odds of being stuck in a ride above the ground are very rare. The firefighters reported the rescue on social media so people can appreciate the great deeds that they do in their community.

I know how you feel since looking down from the top of a building is very scary for me too.

That is what makes me afraid of riding it. I'd rather just watch it.

The same here since I have fear of heights myself that forbid me from taking these rides anymore.

You couldn't give me enough money to ride a ride like that. Glad the firefighters were able to rescue him.

The last time I took a high risk ride was in New Orleans on a ride called The Zephyr. Due to health problems, I would never take another high risk ride in my lifetime.
