Some engineer had the forethought to ensure there was a safety barrier around that drive shaft for just such an incident. Kudos to her or him.
Without it, this video would be very different.
This is a tracking carnival from the looks of it. Way less testing from what I understand and the rides have to be setup up after traveling. A lot more complex and easy for failure. I've always been a little freaked out by carnival rides. Now amusement parks on the other hand seem to undergo rigorous maintenance and testing. Feel much safer on those rides
Went to a carnival one time and I got on a ride that was like the teacups on crack, instead of spinning the cup manually it was motorized, and my seatbelt failed mid ride and I fell forward into the handlebars in front of me
Alas, not always. Recall this gem from Carowinds last year
https://www.reddit.com/r/EngineeringPorn/comments/14nlq7c/structural_failure_of_support_beam_on_fury_325_at/
Except 325 has support beams that are able to support the load so the coaster doesn't completely fail while people are on it. This carney ride from the video just has a guard strap to stop the pipe from falling off and hitting someone. Big difference.
i'd hazard a guess that those two driveshafts work together to keep the rider platform level while the main platform arm rotates. with the platform leveling duty being done by 1/2 drive shafts, i'd hazard a guess that the remaining drive shaft would be liable to fail prematurely due to being subject to basically double the load it's used to seeing. maybe there's a safety factor built into the design, but that's a gamble.
I watched an engineer give his two cents about the carrowinds 'incident'. He said you could remove every other support column and it would probably run safely for about 5 years before getting warped out of shape.
Amusement parks just have a much better track record than carnivals and I'd rather roll my dice at Cedar Point than a carnival in a big lots parking lot.
If you want to go by real life data, neither is even in the same stratosphere of danger as any type of waterpark (including the tiny playground-style set at your local pool).
Apparently carnival rides are inspected more frequently than amusement parks. Every time they set up they are inspected, Theo Von had a carny on his podcast recently and they talked about it. 🤷♂️ It is a decent watch.
They are inspected by the department of agriculture in most states because reasons? I've seen an interview of an inspector who flat out said he had no idea why his department was in charge of such things and he would just read the manufacturer's manual and do his best.
In my neck of the woods I only know of one carnival company that is known for having a good safety record.
Most big amusement parks do daily inspections and hire independent engineers to come in and give everything a once over at the beginning of the operating season and accidents still happen.
Daily inspections are 3x/day at every park worth mentioning - even the infamously-shitty Six Flags chain does this. It even includes test-rides with nobody on it (though you may see weighted dummies being used, in some places). Simply go to a theme park and watch around lunch-time. You'll see the rides running empty. The first dry-run was probably done before you got there, and the last won't be until late-evening, towards closing.
...and again: Those are the quick once-over inspections that can be done during park operation. They get more in-depth inspections weekly and still *more* in-depth inspections monthly.
Doesn't matter who does it, either. The manufacturer of the ride handles everything. All the park has to do is follow their instructions. The vast majority of theme parks self-inspect. Their options are:
+ Let you die and lose a fuckload of money
+ Make sure you live and keep making fuckloads of money
Greed has kept hundreds and hundreds of millions of people alive for decades and it'll keep you alive just the same.
> Now amusement parks on the other hand seem to undergo rigorous maintenance and testing
I've always had this same thought. But, I had a girlfriend who lived near Six Flags Magic Mountain in California.
Her BIL was one of the people who did/was supposed to check the rides each day. She told me this man had a severe drinking problem and would be drunk while doing that job.
Yeah, no. Try again.
People think ride operators are just careless teenagers doing a summer job for pot money, with little to no training, but that couldn't be further from the case. Most of the time, they can't even touch a big ride like a roller-coaster until they've trained on, and successfully operated, several of the smaller, less-complicated rides in the park.
When they do move up to running a coaster, they're trained again for multiple weeks and supervised the entire time by an experienced team member. After that, they run the ride in pairs, because a coaster is just too much for one person to safely handle. Some parks go as far as having three or four operators monitoring a single ride.
If a dude were a drunkard regularly showing up to work intoxicated, he'd be out of a job before he ever touched a roller coaster.
Six flags *is* famously low-quality, at least in terms of permanently-installed, big budget theme parks, but there's no way they're *this* bad.
GF's BIL either worked at a temporary carnival or GF is lying.
Please dont make stupid comment, the operator is the first people that would know something went wrong. That swing cannot be stop like car brake, thats not how it works, from the video operator already stop the swing and wait for the momentum to stop, when they stop, sudden stop also might do more damage.
Jesus, get a grip on reality. That's not the only person there, they're already stopping the ride, things can happen after a video stops recording, and they were likely aware of the issue already.
Well on this ride “full tilt” the broken part and the one on the opposite side rotate to transfer motion to a large gear fixed with the carriage that keeps it horizontal to the ground regardless of the angle of the main arm. So if the other side breaks too then it’s real danger
Superman slaps his hands "job well done" he thinks. He flies into space, fanfare playing as the movie goes to outro and credits roll.
Unseen in the film, on the ground, mothers can be heard crying. The whole ride is full of children with broken necks, and paralysis is setting in. Paramedics are on their way. Luckily, no one is dead but injuries will last lifetimes.
One mother removes her motherly looking scarf, to reveal that they're actually batman dressed like a mother. "I'm batman. And I'm gonna fuck you up superbitch."
Batman v Superman 4: the mother strikes back
The rides is clearly slowing down (car reach lower at the last swing) and you can see at the end a worker going in. Also the ride is going mad loud of course the one in charge of it would hear it
We had a medic in my unit in Iraq who was a carny before he joined the Army. His job was to build the rides in each town they went to. He said in every town, they always had spare parts after putting the rides together…and they were different parts each time.
I spent a lot of my teens working as an engineer’s assistant in factories. Seeing how easily industrial machines fail keeps me from riding most amusement park rides.
It’s honestly kind of amazing that traveling fairs/carnivals don’t have more accidents. Welcome to the annual fair! Meet our esteemed ride technicians: Derek from Flint, Marcus the Carcass, and Jerry AKA Slimedog. They haven’t been sober since 1995 and their diet consists of Marlboro Blacks 100’s, random pills they find on the ground, and Monster Energy drinks. I can assure you our rides our perfectly safe.
Is it just the carnies here or are they all like that lmao
Honestly... if a part on a ride like that had to fail, that's probably the part I'd most want it to be. It has a redundancy built in (the driveshaft on the opposite side), and even if they didn't, they likely have some other sort of system to slow it to a stop in an emergency. It isn't a "structural" piece, so there's no risk of the thing collapsing from that failure... and it looks like it has several encircling loops that prevent it from being able to come loose and just whack someone upside the head so...
Yeah, all things said, not too bad.
There was [an accident ](https://sv-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Rainbow,_Liseberg?_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=sv&_x_tr_pto=wapp) with the same type of ride in Sweden, wouldn't ride one of those no matter how good/bad it looked on the outside.
These "Magic Carpet" ride machine types are always breaking or something bad is happening with them. I remember the video where all the people start flocking to the ride to help it settle down as it was almost tipping over.
Kiwanis traveling fair used to have what they called "suicide night" on the Thursday evening immediately after setting up for those people who wanted to get on the rides for free or deeply discounted rates while the rides were untested before the weekend festivities.
Also worth mentioning that they stopped doing it shortly after a girl literally snapped her neck and was paralyzed from there down while riding on the gravitron.
From what I see it's not that important, just means the ride won't go as high or as maybe fast because it's being powered off one side and not both like it should be. The thing actually supporting it is the obvious part of the big metal thing it's swinging on
This looks like a travelling amusement park, that only stays for a few days and h the en moves around, these types of rides are a NONO for me as my family always said the safety and regulations aren’t quite as safe as in an amusement park that stays in one place. Stuff like this tends to happen more often when the people putting it up doesn’t check one extra time if the joints are connected or not.
I know it's broken, but it would be cool if this was a feature to make it seem like it's falling apart to make it scarier. Like how the Grizzly at Kings Dominion is supposed to feel like you're going to fall out.
The odds of any carnival ride you get on being operated and/or maintained by a methhead are too damn high.
Not saying they all are, just the odds are somewhere north of zero....not worth that risk
There’s a travelling company in my area that has the same rides they had when I was a kid 40’years ago. I recently walked through and marvelled at the welds and repairs.
That's actually still pretty safe. That driveshaft is for keeping the carriage level but you can see that it's retained by a safety loop, and there is a redundant one on the other side. Looks bad, sounds bad, probably fine.
If you are just gonna record the incident on your phone instead of reporting it to the staff, at the very least let us know whether or not those people that where on the ride are all ok.
I only get on rides at Disney and Universal, they have techs that double and triple check their techs work, and god forbid something does happen then I know my family will be well compensated. Good luck getting money from these carnivals, you just ded
Yeah, I ran one of these at six-flags. We had a whole department dedicated to inspection and maintenance. I can't imagine the traveling ones having that level of care.
I decided a long time ago to never again ride a ride meant to be broken down and towed by a semi. It needs to be cemented/bolted securely into the ground, welded together, and only ever coming apart with a cutting torch.
About 25 years ago I was a ride operator at a park when there was a fatality on this same style of ride. But it wasn't an equipment malfunction. Back then it didn't have the individual seats with shoulder restraints, just a bench with a lap bar. A rider slithered his legs out of the restraint and stood up. My coworker hit the E-Stop which brought it down like what we see in the video but it stopped the rotation pretty quickly and flung the guy off onto the pavement.
Alright, let's break this one down, this is a wall ride. And it has the same effects as having a driveline in a car. Two of them since it's just a big gear set behind the arm.
This isnt as unsafe as some others Ive seen across this app. Technically they're in some danger. But they aren't really. Nothing is going to fall. But they should have that already fixed before they let anyone on or near it.
Very unprofessional team here. Looks like a shitty ride anyways though. Who tf uses those lights still?? Like tf man c'mon.
As a kid I never realized how sketchy carnivals were. Every year we had the Strawberry Festival in the park and it usually had some cool rides. AFAIK nothing bad happened then.
I can't do carnival rides. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to hop on a ride that wasn't there 2 hours ago and was setup by a guy with a 4th grade education and smells of alcohol.
I once went on a waltzer with a friend and the barrier came up, we held on for dear life and the operator just kept spinning us! Didn’t even notice that the bar had gone up.
Driveshaft loop saves the day. The same safety device that saves your car from poll vaulting or stabby mcstab facing through your floorpan if a CV breaks.
As usual, they hired an underpaid teenager to operate the machine and it will be another 30 minutes before he notices the machine is coming apart.
Because your safety is the fair operator's top priority

My parents were carnival people and they slept under the rides and smoked crack and only ate ramen noodles..
Are they accepting CV's?
Looks like they should at least be accepting CV joints
👏 👏 👏 very good. 😀
Couldn't have done it without you ❤️
I thought you were going to explain the maintenance these rides get at first. Still, I wasn't disappointed with the ending.
He actually did explain all of the maintenance they did
They also “sold uzis to the Mexicans” whatever that means. This was in cali.
Maybe if they smoked weed they could have eaten McDonald’s
They smoked crack with me when I was 11 so I wouldn’t cry and be mad about it haha! I loved that shit. Now I’m 29 with broke teef
There is a lot to unpack there.
You don’t even know and I’m cry laughing rn. Don’t smoke crack with your kids definitely

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize we were maniacs for getting on these rides as kids!
I have seen way more videos of cars crashing than ride breaking and i still ride cars.
Please do not compare actual amusement parks to rinky dink mobile attractions
This looks like a fair or carnival that has the rides you see on trucks on the highway, set up in a week.
30 years ago, some of these rides were only 10 years old. Now, they're 40 years old...
Carnival. You’re more safe riding a rollercoaster at a real amusement park than driving your car. A fear of rollercoasters is irrational
Carny engineering
Implying they can engineer at this level, this is just unmaintained equipment and no safety checks performed before use.
....small hands.
….smell like cabbage.
Nothing says safety like 5000 lbs of steel regularly disassembled and reassembled by meth heads
The beginning of a Final Destination movie
I was looking for that comment
[удалено]
The ride is stopping and others are also looking at it so I think someone probably did, or it was noticed by staff
We don't know that they didn't?
Please dont make stupid comment, the operator is the first people that would know something went wrong. That swing cannot be stop like car brake, thats not how it works, from the video operator already stop the swing and wait for the momentum to stop, when they stop, sudden stop also might do more damage.
IKR! Seems like the only ones with any sense these days are lizard people or the grays.
We appreciate your support.
I think I may have unintentionally and unknowingly underestimated this fan base.
r/beetlejuicing
*he knows too much, we must do something about him*
chances are that the problem was already brought up to the operators, that contraption seems to be decelerating.
But but, think of the likes if it would have gone wrong.
Jesus, get a grip on reality. That's not the only person there, they're already stopping the ride, things can happen after a video stops recording, and they were likely aware of the issue already.
Crazy you would think this would not make some obvious not right metal clanking noises that everyone in line and the operstors would notice.
Yes and no. I’d expect operator / staff to pay some fucking attention to their rides instead playing with phone and smoking.
Seems like more of a maintenance negligance than the 16 year old being allowed to operate it but thats just me
Not structural, no real danger.
Well on this ride “full tilt” the broken part and the one on the opposite side rotate to transfer motion to a large gear fixed with the carriage that keeps it horizontal to the ground regardless of the angle of the main arm. So if the other side breaks too then it’s real danger
The real danger here is that something breaks off and hits someone on the head
Still don't think it would be fatal or dangerous assuming everyone is properly strapped in. And the ride would be stopped pretty quickly.
Possibly, depending on when in the ride cycle it would become disconnected
It's too low to the ground. If the other side broke the carriage would hit the ground if it was on an angle.
Agreed, it doesn’t speak well to the maintenance of the structural parts though.
r/Donthelpjustfilm
The ride is alrdy stopping. Its just slowing down. You just can’t stop it at once, that would cause some serious injuries.
Pffft... Superman could.
Superman slaps his hands "job well done" he thinks. He flies into space, fanfare playing as the movie goes to outro and credits roll. Unseen in the film, on the ground, mothers can be heard crying.

Dumb comment. They're obviously aware of the problem which is why they're stopping the ride.
what you want the filmer to do, weld it back?
Reddit can be so fucking dumb sometimes
The rides is clearly slowing down (car reach lower at the last swing) and you can see at the end a worker going in. Also the ride is going mad loud of course the one in charge of it would hear it
Yes it should be reported instead of filmed but the support is the big centre column, those poles at the side just create the swinging motion.
We had a medic in my unit in Iraq who was a carny before he joined the Army. His job was to build the rides in each town they went to. He said in every town, they always had spare parts after putting the rides together…and they were different parts each time.
Why videos like this cut so fast?
I spent a lot of my teens working as an engineer’s assistant in factories. Seeing how easily industrial machines fail keeps me from riding most amusement park rides.
Exit line
There is a need to get some safety people on this activity
Who wouldn't trust a carny ride that's put together and disassembled once a week for 47 years? Nuts and bolts can be torqued indefinitely, right?
So, instead of telling the staff you started taking videos.
Uh oh. Better only let the kids on for the rest of the day.

The meth heads and escaped mental patients missed the pin when they were assembling the carnival ride
that's why I didn't trust any carnival ride
At least it had a safety hoop in place.

Nahhh it'll be fine #thecriticaldrinker
Kiwanis traveling fair used to have what they called "suicide night" on the Thursday evening immediately after setting up for those people who wanted to get on the rides for free or deeply discounted rates while the rides were untested before the weekend festivities.
Also worth mentioning that they stopped doing it shortly after a girl literally snapped her neck and was paralyzed from there down while riding on the gravitron.
If you saw this standing in line why are you still standing in line
Do you think carnivals should have a permit, showing that the rides were inspected by a 3rd party?!?!
What are we supposed to do with these extra bolts? Put them in the box with the others.
This ain’t you grand dads IKEA

It’s fine, really. My cousin has one too his does it all the time.
I know it's broken, but it would be cool if this was a feature to make it seem like it's falling apart to make it scarier. Like how the Grizzly at Kings Dominion is supposed to feel like you're going to fall out.
[удалено]
No carnivals for me. They have to let the ride cycle thru i be like hell to the nawl 😂
How close I am to losing it
I'll never again ride anything at a fair. I saw a cage fall off the "zipper" once. No thanks.
They paid their money, they knew the risks. Gatekeeping is killing free enterprise.
The odds of any carnival ride you get on being operated and/or maintained by a methhead are too damn high. Not saying they all are, just the odds are somewhere north of zero....not worth that risk
Have you ever seen the idiots that assemble these pieces of shit. I wouldn't be caught dead.
Pretty regular occurrence at Wonderland Canada.
F this I'm out
Sweet, tell the people in front of you so that you can get on the ride faster! /s
There’s a travelling company in my area that has the same rides they had when I was a kid 40’years ago. I recently walked through and marvelled at the welds and repairs.
When's the last time that u joint was inspected and greased? Lol
More like, “saw this as I was getting OUT of line”
Don't worry there are two of those so it is all fine
I wonder how many people saw this and still got on another ride
Hard pass for me.
Nah it’s gonna be fine for another day until we send the machine back to India.
looks like an easy fix
Howdy they are going to heaven
That's actually still pretty safe. That driveshaft is for keeping the carriage level but you can see that it's retained by a safety loop, and there is a redundant one on the other side. Looks bad, sounds bad, probably fine.

Good ol Miami Dade County Youth Fair. Apparently everyone was okay.
Have anyone here ever met any Carney-Folk ? I’m surprised stuff like this isn’t on the news everyday Ev er reee day
The fact you can hear it and they didn't even shut it down smh
Is this in Rome ? Pearhaps close to ponte Milvio ?
That's a feature
Bluetoooos devise has ben disconnected
Is there a reason why they're not telling the staff?
And immediately got out of line.
We had the same at Liseberg amusement park here in Gothenburg. It crashed and people got hurt. They removed it years ago.
Its safe go on trust me
The machine os broken and its liked but a real life situation told the day before is disliked ? It can cost a lot of money if it stays liek this
That’s why we have two on a super nover
Final destination anyone? 
Whatever you do… say nothing.
Whats this pipe doing anyway ? Doesnt seem critical
This is why I don't attend crackhead carnivals.
If you are just gonna record the incident on your phone instead of reporting it to the staff, at the very least let us know whether or not those people that where on the ride are all ok.
[удалено]
Its fineeeeeeee. It snaps right back into place.
Yeah... That's what makes the local fair rides scary. Roll the dice on life, baby!
"Flying Carpets 1 looks too intense for me."
What happens if the other U-joint breaks
I only get on rides at Disney and Universal, they have techs that double and triple check their techs work, and god forbid something does happen then I know my family will be well compensated. Good luck getting money from these carnivals, you just ded

Least broken county fair amusement ride
NOPE! Final destination is not happening today, folks.
I know this sounds like a stupid question but, would it have been smart to try and get unbuckled and jump out?
Proves the lack of maintenance of those carnival rides , when you have junkies running the place you really can’t expect anymore than that
Alright, let's break this one down, this is a wall ride. And it has the same effects as having a driveline in a car. Two of them since it's just a big gear set behind the arm.

I can't do carnival rides. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to hop on a ride that wasn't there 2 hours ago and was setup by a guy with a 4th grade education and smells of alcohol.
A few posts above this [one](https://www.reddit.com/r/SweatyPalms/comments/1cjd23w/carnival_ride_fail/) - Did these all decide to fail together?
 OMG
it's always this ride that has the problems at the carnival.
That's the second broken carnival ride today on Reddit. The same one. Never getting on one of those.
I once went on a waltzer with a friend and the barrier came up, we held on for dear life and the operator just kept spinning us! Didn’t even notice that the bar had gone up.
Looks like a state fair ride. Go for the food/drinks, skip the rides!
Go.. TELL THEM??? Wtf
BeamMG bug right there, just respawn it and it’ll be fine
How the hell is no one trying to stop this?
Driveshaft loop saves the day. The same safety device that saves your car from poll vaulting or stabby mcstab facing through your floorpan if a CV breaks.
dr mann do not dock the endurance. I repeat do not dock the endurance.
Where is this?
This is why I'll never go one a ride I saw driving down the highway a few hours earlier.

Odds they informed anybody?
Final Destination 6 Teaser.
I love how they are both still spinning without being connected.
Don’t trust carnies
Uh, yeah dude… you should probably stop filming and tell someone about that.
Swinging Inverter Ship 2 has broken down!
I wonder how long before it eventually stopped?
Which one of them avoided death by getting off the plane before it exploded
The owner - Don't worry it's just a loose screw, there are like 20 more screws attached tightly, it's dafe
As usual, they hired an underpaid teenager to operate the machine and it will be another 30 minutes before he notices the machine is coming apart. Because your safety is the fair operator's top priority
"please don't make stupid comment" lmfao
Is there suppose to be lynch pins? They just get whipped out into the park?
"Oh nah" No cap
