I'm a bad car passenger at the best of times but put me on a track in a 500bhp sports car and I'm fearless.* You are aware that you are not in control of the earth as it hurtles through the uncaring darkness of the void right?

I can't control whether there is an ISIS suicide bomber on the same carriage as me on my morning commute either, but there is nothing I can do to change that so I don't really worry about it. I can control getting on some rickety rear end carnie ride though.

revolther posted:In the US the pop up weekend carnival/fair happens in like 10,000 locations every day. It's like that picture except for 3-8 rides all disassembled into the back of a sketchy van. They are murder factories assembled by traveling amphetamine enthusiasts. Though they have gotten better in the last decade or so, in the 80's and 90's it was like someone died every time a fair came to my town. Can confirm. My high school BFF's dad did on-call welding, and he refused to let anyone he knew ride anything carnies ran after doing a few repair jobs for them.

Lime Tonics posted:Boy thrown from slide at Dublin water park on opening day Was this article written by the Onion's autistic reporter? quote:This was the very first day this city owned water park was open. It's called "The Wave" and cost $43 million to build. Hundreds of other people stayed at the park Saturday afternoon, most of them unaware of the accident. They enjoyed the other four slides and the pools. The assistant city manager witnessed it all. "I was standing there. He seem to be shook but seemed to be OK. He immediately got up and went into the first aid room. He was assessed by staff and his parents were here," Linda Smith said.

I usually just dealt with it by buckling the carton up - why the hell to people PAY for something that can be achieved by just belting up. I had a rental car that would actually send an alert to the rental company (who would charge you for it) if you ever achieved a speed of 2 MPH or higher with an unbuckled seatbelt. This meant that even backing your car one spot across the parking lot to clear space or getting out at the office mailbox before driving the remaining 50 yards to park forced you to wear a seatbelt for every inch of driving.
