I was so jealous of the carny who would get up and walk around on the inside wall.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah one of them did that near me and then he fell in and get splattered on everyone.

In? In the Gravitron I rode, it was just sleds on the slightly-slanted walls that went up when it got up enough speed. There wasn't really anywhere to fall into. I mean yeah, he could easily break an arm or something, but nothing that would splatter him.

Tbf we lost gravitron privileges at my country fair because kids kept getting fucked up trying to stand up on the walls.

Oh you're right. It was a scrambler ride, not graviton.

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A scrambler doesn't have walls? It would definitely splatter someone anyway.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Right what threw me is that the particular scrambler was at an amusement park not a carnival. It had walls and was in the dark with lights and music.

That damn centripetal force!
