Well.....maybe not near death still!
After much cajoling we took the kids to the fair that spends a couple days in town this time of year you know, hook a duck, teacups, waltzers all staffed by mainly toothless variants or part time members of the nomadic caravan dwelling tribe
So me and the youngest (7) gets on the waltzers, after about 30 seconds I can feel a definite vibration and clunking to our “booth/cart/contraption”.
and then a god all mighty bang and while the rides still going king crackhead and his 2 minions come staggering over looking under it and the joints between the checker plate after a few seconds of looking and nice reassuring shrugs they went on their merry way staggering and swinging their way around the carts, but making a very clear effort to not let our cart spin more than was necessary
once the thing was stopped I gave king crackhead some words of advice from
Some one who works on pretty heavy and life threatening equipment....with some choice swearwords mixed in.
I mean their was cleary something it right with this thing, and going by what you could see round you, bad welds, bald tires, stuff bodged who is in charge of inspecting rides?
Never again will i be going on one and. It after seeing some of the welding about the place
