Mind your own damn business, dude.

You could take your own advice, Gertrude 😘

A 50' ride at a traveling carnival you say?......that's a big nope for me. I don't even trust the refreshments at a carnival. No way I'm getting on a ride.

LOL!  Sorry bro, that wasn't mean for you (it's the first name of the character in JH's avatar). 

 

And FTR, I wouldn't ride a traveling carnival ride here in the US, much less abroad.

Don’t sweat it brotha.   He’s a prick to everyone.  Are you not familiar with Doc’s “work?”

Nope.  Just to pricks.  Especially ones who think they're smarter than they really are.

Me too.

 

I know the big parks have a lot of regulations and safety precautions and probably follow the rules. But I'm very suspicious of small fairs and carnivals. Have you gotten a look at the people tending the rides?  Do they look like the types that check all the bolts (for example) every day?  I wouldn't be surprised if they loosened them half a turn every day, just to see what happens. Probably be the most exciting day they have all summer, should their ferris wheel crash mid-ride. Plus they'd probably get the rest of the day off.
