[yeah_right]

3 hours upside down?
There must be medical complications after that.

[Buck]

You can almost smell the lawsuit for damages.

[markclayton]

These little pop-up “carnivals” have near to no operator training or ride inspections. Accidents waiting to happen.

[Machistmo]

Don’t get on carnival rides. They fold up onto tractor trailers and carnival workers pack and unpack them. I mean

[kingofkings]

After 30 minutes, I would be having a panic attack already. Imagine 3 hours 😢

[constellationstar]

3hrs upside down?!!! too much pressure in the brain. i hope all is well. dont ride on carnivals, no safety inspections and regular audits because they are being removed unlike in amusement parks.

[mathieubardoux]

3+ hours ??? Wtf, how they couldn't respond faster !?!?

[froggynzack]

I can only imagine how painful that was. All that blood rushih to their heads

[saltandpeppers]

Oh my god, they literally have that at 6 Flags Baltimore, my fave ride there in addition to Superman! This looks horrible! For 3 hours!!!

[gabriellec]

Okay, why weren’t they rescued sooner? They absolutely should not have been stuck for that long! 😳 And the blood rushing to their heads being suspended upside down like that for 3 hours is insane…I hope they came out of that okay.

[grfuldeb]

Thank God for the rescuers out there!!!

That's not a roller coaster. That is a larson loop. Still, that shouldn't happen and WILL be investigated like an airline acident.

[stevenbeall]

It's why I'd never get on these fair rides. This stuff is torn down, set up and trucked all over for years and run/operated by people trying to make as much coin as they can at the cost of needed repairs and timely maintenence. As long as they have insurance they don't care much about when it does break down. That's the riders problem. Inspected by the state? Lemme guess..." Yup, it's a roller coaster...here's yer permit."

[afridgetoofar]

This is why I stick to the merry-go-round 🎠

[sortaforida]

I would go nuts being upside down that long. Im sure its not good for you and you will have a major headache

[wolfman]

Good thing none of them had nerve induced explosive diarrhea while hanging upside down.

[ZezimaTruth]

Saw a carnival with roller coasters in my local Sam's Club parking lot yesterday. There's no way those things are safe.

[pudolla]

Why did it take 3 hours for paramedics to get there?

[loneillrt]

Everyone, for the last time, these are not roller coasters. They have no comparison to rollercoasters. This is a carnival flat ride that is put up and taken down in a couple of days. By definition, these are not rollercoasters because they are powered all the way around the loop. Rollercoasters rely on physics to get around the track

[theeradiantgoddess]

3 hours?!! I would have been making plans about how soon I would own it after I contacted my lawyer
