thanks you for your service
Good human. Thank you.
Glad to know you guys are here too
Good user.
Nice and funny expected a bot to preform the task. Didn’t expect a human.
Widen your expectations, fellow human
The ferris wheel was QA’d to the point that even a meth-head could set it up safely.
There’s a saying - build an idiot-proof system and they’ll build a better idiot
Also:
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Lmao it absolutely was not.
Totally agreed! However the ferris wheel was built by actual engineers not some rich guy who fired/sued his engineers into silence.
A Google News search for “carnival accident” shows that carnival rides seemingly kill or seriously injure people in the US every couple weeks.
I don’t trust those corn field carnival rides either, those things terrify me even more than the submarine, so speak for yourself lol.
Looking at the bright side, at least in a submarine you aren’t going to feel 4000lbs of pressure in every direction coming at you at once because it’ll happen faster than your brain can register. Not like you’d feel it anyway after being reduced to the human equivalent of a gogurt
I guarantee the three-toothed meth-head knows more about assembling and running a carnival ride than submarine dude knows about his best buy remote control.
Plus, one of them is still alive.
Honestly the more I read about all the things wrong with that submarine, the more I think the CEO Stockton Rush deserves a Darwin Award. (Though maybe he’d be disqualified due to age or already having kids?)
We don’t know that your second point is true.
The meth dude didn’t design and fabricate the ferris wheel though, just set it up?
Yes and he’s done it twice a week every week for a long time.
The Ferris wheel doesn’t go 2.5 miles deep underwater though. And you can sit there and watch successful trips on the Ferris wheel before you decide to risk it.
I didn’t pay six figures for a carnival ticket.
Learn to weld and start looking at the welds on those things. You wont be riding them for long.
The Ferris wheel has a survival chance of >0 though.
Three-toothed meth head is still alive too
The Ferris wheel isn’t made of cardboard and has a weight limit of 30lbs
Hey now, that’s corrugated cardboard, not just any cardboard!
Guilty!
