What was the design process like for that ride? Like fun was obviously not a priority and it goes without saying that safety wasn't, either.

I think it's just a malfunctioning gravitron.

Edit: Nope, that's the ride, it's called a Tagada, and googling it mostly leads to stories about people getting hurt on them.

Also not a surprise, I figured with a name or "people rock tumbler" search results would be a slew of injury reports.

There is no safe way to ride that at all.

Now the Gravitron? That is easily my favorite carnival/midway ride ever.

It's just a question of whether the people he didn't fire are too incompetent not to foresee this, or they did and Musk was just like "no do it though or I fire you"

Too incompetent. They've done it the absolute worst possible way, it's actually impressive how many different ways they had to gently caress up for this to end up the way it did.

Man I went on one of these as a kid and had such a great time. The one I went on was mostly padded in the center so the operator was even more aggressively flinging people out of their seats.
My mum was so pissed when she saw what my dad let me go on. I was maybe 10 years old on a family holiday in Spain at a lovely travelling funfair.
Genuinely would never go on one today. You need that child/teenage ability to just bounce off stuff.

Tagada Wiki posted:

The Tagada is operated by a human operator who will synchronize the bounces with the music beat. Most operators give time for riders to get to their seats again before making the ride bounce (this occurs if turbulence is too strong). Sometimes riders will be told the ride is over and the gates will not open and the operator will restart the ride making everyone fall over and then open the gates.

Tagada rides are often associated with injuries, including at Yarm Fair 2005 when Bradley Pennicott of the Kingsmead estate, Eaglescliffe, snapped his left arm whilst on the ride. It is suspected that Bradley was malnourished which contributed to the injury. Common also are ejections from the ride, such as 20 June 2011 in Newcastle,[1] or during the 2008 British Grand Prix[2] or October 2009,[3] or most recently in 2016 in Ayr, Scotland where three riders got launched from the ride. Most injuries are broken bones of riders who fall into the middle of the ride. Many street fairs ban tagada rides due to their generally poor safety records and cleanliness. The rides are banned in the United States and Australia due to these issues

Is there a reason these Asian videos often start and end with a soothing landscape or water before fading into the actual video, or is it just a weird online trend?

It seems to be a weird online trend if instagram stories are any indication. I'm guessing it's an attempt to disguise content thievery from being automatically detected and the post being rejected or removed.

That makes a lot of sense. Probably also why the music plays through it.

It unintentionally gives them a meditative vibe
