#Arizona #rollercoaster #caughtoncamera
Dude LITERALLY saved his life
No, he endangered it. The restraint is not to keep you from falling out. It’s to keep you from standing up. You won’t fall out of a moving coaster.
@BcBock why do idiots like you exist? Man... If I could help you take a dirt nap I would... Honestly 😂
And actually didn't fall out and land and squash anybody
@@bcbockI mean I ain’t risking my life knowing my restraint is off lol
This thing has 2 loopings...
He is so brave! I would have been too scared to stay but too scared to climb off!! That's terrifying. Smart man to act so quickly.
I agree with this 100%. I probably would've been paralyzed with fear.
That's because you're thinking about it. In moments of pumping adrenaline, you don't have time to think, you just act. You'd be fine
This is what I just said to my mother!
@DaleGribble-p9r I would submit that it is both a survival instinct AND brave.
Brave😂
I thought this was going to be a story about a guy who was being reckless, but he did the safest thing he could do while riding a roller coaster 🎢 considering the circumstances. I’m glad he’s okay 👍
I thought the same thing.
yea needs better title should be “man saves himself before falling off coaster”
I at first thought it was a story about a guy committing suicide in what he (a coaster aficionado) otherwise loved doing. It instead is a story that will give nightmares to acrophobes.
Same 😂
I thought so too. But besides that, i also think his fat belly broke the bar.
I'm pretty sure I've heard people say that they "want off this damned roller coaster", but this guy took it to the next level.
great thinking and action. glad bro’s ok
I appreciate your sentiment, but I doubt he's your brother
The best regulation is you not giving your money to businesses that don't have high standards. Government regulations only give you a false sense of security and cost you more money.
Just living life is a risk, folks. The government won't help you live forever.

Cool, two less idiots to take up space in lines.
Here's your gold medal, we're all so proud that you managed to stop riding rollercoasters.
@@Frontier327 and here is your medal for getting triggered. 🏅
Oh my how scary that was some extreme quick thinking and probably saved your life good job
The G forces hold you in the seat. The bar is there to keep people from climbing out.
@@stuwest3653 I don't think you've been on many roller coasters or understand how g-force works.
@@Rawd123 Having been on a roller coaster is irrelevant.
My knowledge of physics and the design of this specific ride is what is relevant. Perhaps you may want to start thinking.
@stuwest3653 lol. I wasn't meaning to upset you. Sure g force might keep you in on a loop but how about the hard turns or the bump ups? Are you serious?
@@Rawd123 i know i dont ride on rides too scary my mom seen one go off the tracks as a kid and it killed them and stuff jn the 70s and that feared me from ever riding plus i got bad motion sickness
It's very said to say but roller coasters are not designed for big people. Sadly I saw the samething happen at Knotts Berry farm on the ride Perilous Plunge a bigger lady was killed because her lap bar didn't securely lock because of her size and weight.
Just like that big boy who fell off the tower ride.
Their fault for being too big.
@@ellamay3816 "fault" is really harsh.
@@ellamay3816this is such a weird statement because some people are naturally bigger built, taller, etc. some people have wider bodies without being “overweight” or fat. you can’t just say it’s somebody’s fault they’re bigger cuz not everyone who’s bigger is that size because of weight/what they eat
@@kithe304 there's a difference between being big boned, or tall, versus being obese. Obviously I don't want anything bad to happen to anyone whether fat or not, but I think it's clear that people who are incredibly overweight should not go on roller coasters.
it should be their responsibility not to let them on the ride then tf!!
That is so terrifying. He saved his life getting off just in time.
He saved his life? So everyone else died? Or he would be the only one falling out cause he is fat? What do you mean?
@@MightyOff1ine Watch the segment and you'll learn what happened.
Like with seconds to spare!
@@cosmic_pursuit he wouldn't have fell out. lap bar coasters hold you in with centrifugal force. if there was a chance you could fly out it would not be a lap bar style coaster

Dude saved his own life
Almost became a real life Final Destination 3. Glad he made it out alive, stay safe man!
You are kinda right. If that movie were to happen in real life, a restraint not locking would prob be how it would happen.
But in the movie Death catches those that cheat him
The streets need final destination 6
@@MarioTransformer7001lol
Exactly death doesn't like to be cheated @MarioTransformer7001
That was a genius move, that guy, wow! Saved his life.
They are fortunate that it was him on that coaster and not a child, who may would have stayed on the ride. The guy obviously did the smart thing by getting off of it. What a scary situation to be in.
A child would’ve fit in the ride correctly, this guy didn’t stand a chance.
The problem wasn’t the seat it was his size, cause he’s a big guy and even tho it clicked and stayed since the operators didn’t check him, it probably wasn’t passing, cause at least in California they always have to make sure it’s safe and they have a screen that tells them if the bar is cleared and he said that the operator didn’t even check him so a kid would’ve been fine
I'm glad he saved his own life.
I thought it would be a story about a man being reckless, come to find out that he made the smartest decision of his life.
Same
Did you copy the top comment or did the top comment copy you?
@@_Sami__ i think that's a pretty fair natural comment
I thought reckless. But actually smart. Under circumstance
Not sure if it only has a lap bar the centrifugal force is keeping you in so he risked his life more doing what he did honestly
The fact that I’ve been on this roller coaster, at least since I was the age of six years old and I’ve always been scared of this happening to me is freaky
does the restraint click without problem or do the ride ops have to repeatedly slam the lapbar to secure you (at your behest that, "I'll fit, I promise! just one more try while I hold my breath more?!) if the former, you have nothing to worry about.
THE SCARIEST PART IS THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS AT ALL IN THESE STATES IS WHACKED..
What’s whacked is the way you talk
It’ll only get worse with Trump and Musk deregulating everything.
Also very scary is when the caps lock button gets stuck.
regulations are normally carried out via the parks anyway to prevent law suits and stuff. Technically the guy can't really sue the park though or file a complaint. Yes the ride operator should've been watching the lift, but odds are (and im not trying to be rude here) he was simply too big to fit in the restraint.
The scariest part is you want government regulation everywhere.
While clearly there was a lot of negligence that happened from the ride operator (not pulling on the lap bar, not hitting the emergency stop,) I can absolutely tell from the size of that man that he was way too huge to be riding theme park rides.
As a former theme park ride operator at one of the top theme parks in the world, I’ve seen it WAY too many times where extremely huge people just insist on riding rides that they can’t fit in, even after being warned.
We had a test seat at the entrance that would beep, indicating that the lap bar was secured, and I saw numerous times where the seat wouldn’t beep and the person would STILL enter the line anyway. Also, I’ve seen the ride held up time and time again, because a huge person would attempt to ride and request that the ride operator slam the bar with all their might, sucking their gut in, just to hope to get one click so that the bar was secured. Sometimes it wouldn’t close and we’d be forced to pull them off.
Now the ride I worked at had lap bars, but larger people could usually ride rollercoasters with shoulder bars a bit easier since their gut wouldn’t be in the way.
The point I’m trying to make is, that theme park failed horribly from a safety standpoint, but that guy shouldn’t have been on that ride in the first place, and I’m glad he saved his own life. I hope he chooses not to ride rides like that moving forward, because it could be much worse if he “thinks” the bar is secured. Or, if he chooses to keep riding rides like that because it’s so important to him, he does something about his weight so he can ride safely.
"huge person." LOL. We cannot say anything anymore these days.
I agree. His size should have told him he was not appropriate for rides
@@JustMe-vz3wd I mean I’m not here to shame the guy, just making a point. I’m not afraid of saying any words, there’s just a time and a place for them.
Words carry different tones, even if they mean the same thing. If you were calling someone “skinny” maliciously, you might say “scrawny” instead. Nowadays I think fat people don’t mind the word “fat” as long as you don’t use it maliciously and state it matter-of-fact. It could just depend on the individual though.
@@JustMe-vz3wd Apparently unless the word fat is used it is "We can't say anything". Why can't someone just use a different word to describe someone if they mean the same thing?
The fact that he checked his restraint after hearing that odd sound definitely saved his life! Man he was so Lucky!
He's smart to act so fast, he wouldn't have survived most likely.
He was smart, not lucky. Had he been lucky, the ride wouldn't have malfunctioned in the first place.
@@TH-camAuditor1 He was both. Smart to lift up on his restraint when he did,and luck would have it with the timing
He was blessed.
Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you.
❤Jesus loves you guys. Dont wait, please. He will welcome you with arms wide open.❤
❤* John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life". ❤❤
He did the right thing, he definitely had good instincts and saved his own life.
I had a similar thing happen on the old Medusa Coaster in NJ Six Flags. My shoulder harness unlocked half way up the chain lift, but it had a manual seat belt that holds the harness to the seat, so it only popped up as far as the seat belt would let it. I wrapped my arms around the harness, trying to hold it down as best i could and held on for dear life through the whole ride. At the time i was a teen and it was exhilarating, but looking back, that was nuts.
NO WAY!!! SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON THAT COASTER!!!! Hey, we survived tho, lol. ((yikes))
I had a similar thing happen around 1980 at Cedar Point riding the Blue Streak. The bar wasn't locked down and kept flying up. Good times. lol
I'll add my story to the mix: major theme park in Florida in the early 2000's. Shoulder restraint released twice before launch. I told an attendant and they said it was the control operator. During one of the first inversions the shoulder restraint released at the apex and the secondary belt kept it from fully releasing. Thankfully everything slammed back down at the bottom of the loop and stayed secured for the remainder of the ride. I was young and didn't report it at the time, but wish I did.
Crazy, I grew up in Jackson too. Apparently before I grew up there were a LOT of things that happened at that six flags
@BillyBlakeington Yeah, like the Haunted House attraction where the Houdini ride is rn. Back in the 80s, there was a fire where a bunch of teens died and there weren't any smoke alarms and it wasn't that properly built, if I remember reading about it correctly.
He's a big guy but it didn't matter since it is the attendant or worker's responsibility to make sure his restraint inside the car was locked. He is very lucky he wasn't killed.
Are the managers teenagers, Bro?
It's run by illegal immigrants that are taking jobs from real Americans and need to be deported the moment Trump is in office.
Operators usually check to make sure that people aren't leaving too much room between themselves and the restraint. If the operatior watched as he pushed the lap bar himself, she would have seen that it is in a good position. It clicked in place, the operator checking it at the time would not have made a difference in the situation. I also don't believe it is standard for operators to be watching as a ride goes up the lift hill. This was a rare malfunction, and I'm glad no one was harmed.
@@Marshmallow_Alien Yeah it was a rare malfunction which an inspection could've caught.
@@AaaaNinja I'm not sure if you're referring to the operator checking the restraint as inspection the morning ride inspections parks typically do or the fact that Arizona does not require government inspections for parks. I'm shocked it isn't federal law to have government park inspections, and that could have made a difference. I also don't know this park or it's reputation, so if they have had similar problems in the past it could be a morning inspection issue.
Gonna go out on a limb and say this guy was too big to be allowed on the ride, the lap bar probably didn't engage because it was too far up
Exactly
That explains why there are no theme parks in Arizona
There’s a new one coming next year
@@ItsSiebayi feel like it might be delayed cuz I’ve only seen 2 new structures built this year

@@powerofediting1657 crash out .MP4.
This is literally my worst nightmare on every coaster
Every ride for me - not just roller coasters. From the time the safety bar is lowered till we reach full speed, I’m constantly checking and pulling up on the bar multiple times to make sure it’s locked.
This probably won't happen in your life on any roller coaster thankfully
No ride that goes upside down should have only lap bars. I think it’s time that all rides have better restraints….double restraints to make sure that if one fails..the other can keep you safe.
Hello, Im an engineer who has worked in the amusement industry. There are hundreds of roller coasters in the world that go upside down with lapbars and are perfectly safe. There is also a national standard for restraints that says they must have 2 locking mechanisms. This ride is old and obviously wasn’t maintained well. Im sure the locking mechanism would work fine if the park actually did their job.
Going upside down is one of the only times you don’t need ANY restraint
Its not a matter of the lap bar itself being unsafe, its the outdated and insufficient ride mechanisms that clearly failed that are the risk here.
agreed. I'm a very small, light guy, I've gone on coasters that went upside down with poor restraints. they were locked in, but because of my size (I am the proper height and weight) I just had to hold on for dear life and hope that I didnt move too much and slip out. has happened on several coasters at several locations. thank god for adrenaline giving me super strength to keep my body still or else I'd be dead long ago from slipping out a coaster
upside down, where it's pushing you into the seat? That's probably the least likely place someone is going to fall out. Sharp turns, sudden drops, those are much more likely to toss a person out.
Thats freakin scary!!! Thank God he is ok
The scariest part is they’re only inspected once a year or less.
That's normal for Theme Parks, regardless of if it's one of the 8 states or not
@@themeparksofamerica no? most theme parks have maintenence teams who inspect the rides every morning before opening.
usually they check the ride every day before the park opens, and they do more thorough inspections every year.
@@phillyfan2113 refurbishments & inspections are once a year, checks, & testing are each day
We had to work 3 months before the park would open at the place I was at. We trained religiously on these kind of drills. Luckily we only ever had to evacuate the ride one time out of the 3 years. It was because someone wanted until the last moment to ask to get off the ride.@@themeparksofamerica
It's always the Big Backs 💀
It’s always the sick skinny dudes who have something negative to say
most likely the ride did not malfunction, i used to be a ride operator and he was probably too big for the restraints so they never fully locked in. Ride operators usually have an indicator to show that lap belt isn’t down all the way.
Would he have fallen through the loop? Thinking physics here.
he prob wouldve been fine through the loops. I'm not 100% sure here but I THINK the ride model is a schwartskov looper (again I could be wrong) which arent super intense so he legitamently could have not fallen out for at least a good 30 seconds
He looks pretty large.
He would more likely to fall out on hard turns where the cars are almost sideways. We used to mess with each other driving - long story. Anyway think of a merry go round and how centrifugal force or the ride once called the Round Up.
@@Fliming_oo Hopkins, which are a bit more wonky.
Dude is too big for the rollercoaster.
That's unbelievable they wouldn't stop the ride when dude was climbing out. That's crazy to me. He's lucky to be alive.
don’t even think the operators noticed him get out
His size played a role obviously.
Looks like he avoided his Final Destination. If you saw the movie, he's not out of the woods yet. Better look over your shoulder buddy😂
Dude's going to eat himself to death before anything happens.
🤣🤣🤣 I recently re-watched
Yes!!!!! I love it!!!! He definitely needs to stay off of new York subway trains ❤❤❤
Dude is definitely gonna have his head on a swivel
Everybody else on the ride is in danger too😮
Holy crap dude, this man needs to be in a job that requires quick critical thinking! Bravo sir.
When I rode this as a kid I was surprised and nervous that all it had was a lap bar. They used to have a ride there that was a large boat that swung back and forth about 180 a degrees, and I thought I was going to fly out of it. It felt like my soul was leaving my body. I wanted them to stop the ride. I’ll never forget it.
I hate that boat ride!
@audraarndt1824 yes! They still have it. It’s called the sea dragon.
Lol fr that boat was fun but so scary at the same time. I felt myself lifting up out of the seat.
What a terrifying situation.
OMG, he got out just in time! Priceless!
It is a miracle he was able to notice and get off the ride safely. He had like a 1% chance of making it through that. Makes me never want to ride a coaster again.
I almost fell out of a roller coaster years ago. I'm 6'1" 220lbs and I slipped out of the restraints, imagine a small person.
Good heavens, where was this??! 😨 I'm so glad you're okay!! 🙏
@@DarleyHavidsun Knots Berry Farm in California
a small person would have fit lol
Nobody believes u "slipped" out
@@yap3047 The bar was loose. A smaller person would have fallen out completely.
Yall too big to ride. Problem sloved
Remember Tyre?
you literally solved nothing. get off your high horse. ye there are weight restrictions but that's on the operator to stop and let them know. the operator simply didn't care and let him believe he was ok.
As a coaster enthusiast...this is unacceptable period. If i was the ride op manager, this would have been a termination period. I do not tolerate laziness when saftey is a factor.
oh come on, chillax, nothing happened in the end...
You dont think this guy should stop trying to go on rides made for kids and teens when hes CLEARLY 400lbs?
DEI hires
@@JustMe-vz3wd "Nothing happened in the end" Even so this was pure negligence. I've watched ops at much more popular parks IMMEDIATELY take action if their gut told them something was wrong. These people are responsible for making sure everyone is safe, and not even e stopping the ride when the man climbed out is just awful.
This level of Incompetency and sheer lack of concern for guests safety should be criminal
I hate to be the guy to say this, but I feel that these things often happen to people who are overweight in these rides
It’s actually an extremely common factor in many freak accidents including the drop tower at Icon park.
Nah I’m with you, being overweight is deadly, in a lot of ways.
Yeah there’s supposed to be a weight limit. Did they check the limit or was the ride just faulty?
Blame the fat guy for crappy safety issues. So they make a rides that have height limits but no weight limits? Who's fault is that?
@@DrunkSince1973 ur mama fault 🤣🤣
Another story... NYS fair... If anyone has been on a pirate ship, you know how generous those lap bars are. This particular ride was great because these operators notoriously pushed this thing to its maximum getting at least 90 degrees out of it. I always sat in the back and one time this little kid was next to me about 7-8 years old who was starting to freak when he realized how big the gap was and how vertical this thing goes... He kept saying how he was gonna fall out ... I reached my forearm over and just kind of held him back against his seat and held him down. He ended up thanking me so it wasn't "weird" but it was kind of instinct to secure the kid to the ride ... like when parents reach over when they brake hard.
Bro was like "Nah I'm steppin' off" and just peaced out mid-ride.
Balls of steel on that absolute legend for not freezing or panicking.
lap bars are just as safe as shoulder restraints. shoulder restraints provide a greater feeling of security for the rider though
All roller coasters should have a secondary restraint or a safety feature that keeps the bar in place if the locks fail. If a ride doesn't, best to not get on.
@@POTUSBrownmajority of roller coasters, most of them have hydraulic locks which are indestructible
@ All coasters do have secondary safety features (such as not allowing a train to operate if a single restraint is not locked) and many modern coasters like @CoasterGaming said use hydraulic locks. I do not know about older coasters but I imagine if the upgrade is possible some or many may use hydraulic locks, too. All restraint locks are fail-safe in design (0 energy to lock). What happened was either failure to be up to date with ride maintenance or he was too big to ride and another safety feature was ignored that could've told the operators that.
Edit: Forgot to put this in here, ratchet locks are also failsafe. With good maintenance there's no need to get rid of them so old coasters are just as safe with many having upgraded technology if my understanding is correct. Not an expert, I just love coasters and hate to see the media always saying the wrong thing. If I'm wrong about anything feel free to correct me.
Now imagine if that was someone who wasn't fast enough! So scary! A lot of these amusement park workers are careless and not trained properly.
This dude is huge too. I doubt that the lap bar would latch on him.
As someone who worked at an amusement park over a decade, that has to meet those safety standards & knows the things that can happen when safety checks and guidelines are ignored, idea that there are parks that aren’t required to meet the national safety standards is terrifying.
It's actually worse because teenagers run the ride. I remember about 10 years ago the kids running it would send there friends on it without locking it thinking it was cool. They would just hold on to the bar.
Wow if darwinism striked them down I wouldnt even be remotely surprised
He saved himself and his little friend the skintag.
🤣
That’s either one large skin tag or the knot of a necklace? 🤷♂️
he was seconds away from being obliterated. luckily, he escaped just in time b4 disaster happen. that is why you can't get too comfortable anywhere in life.
With an IQ like that, I guarantee the dude owns his own company. The average person would probably panic and think holding on for dear life would be the wisest decision. Not just hopping off next to some stairs and dealing with the non-life threatening route.🤦🏻♂️
As a resident of Arizona, NEVER go to Castles n Coasters. I have been only once, never rode a ride, and I knew something like this would happen one day. Be safe yall and god bless this man for saving his own life!
If it doesn't fit doesn't ship people need to understand the capacity of those rides
He saved himself! Glad he’s okay! 🙏🏽
Title was misleading. Glad the guy's ok. What a crazy scary thing.
It's not tho? The roller coaster was moving... he climbed out... it'd in arizona... what's not correct here?
It wasn't though. We just automatically assume the title is referring to a stupid person trying to escape their restraints, but that wasn't the case here. The title itself is still correct.
If the title was "safety bar malfunctions during ride" they may have gotten less clicks. People want to see a crazy person. It wasn't a lie, but it was clickbait.

Same here
I had a bad experience down at the beach one year at one of the beaches parks when a lap bar did not close and I was told to hold it down during the ride. The ride went about 40 to 50 mph during the top speed part and I was just about on the edge of that ride almost about to fall out
I could have been killed

Baby Huey knows he was too big for that ride.
King’s Island Diamondback coaster, when first opened, only had a lap bar, nothing in the shoulders. I freaked out and had to lock my legs under the seat while having the person I was riding with, push me down in the seat. I was crying the entire time. I kept floating out of the seat. Now they have straps on the shoulders, but I’ve never been in the ride since the first time.
I had a similar experience on Rolling Thunder at Six Flags Great Adventure (NJ) back in the 80's when I was a small kid.
bro that skin tag
✂️

Put a little fez over it or something
Insulin resistance. He needs to change his diet and eat less often, so his insulin goes down. That skin tag will shrink and fall off.

Lawyer up
New fear unlocked… literally
I too fear that the seat harness would unlock and come loose and I'm holding on with great fear in my eyes as I'm watching a corkscrew twist, or a giant loop coming up fast. I had nightmares of such a thing happening. It's very harrowing. Terrifying.
It always amazes me how people think the park is responsible and that your life is in there hands. Dude , you literally got on a rollercoaster and expect it to be safe.
A lap bar only for a 2 loops roller-coaster? This is insane.
There's even more insane rides (steel vengeance, iron gwazi) that use only lap bars, there's a lot of rides that don't actually need over the shoulder restraints for going upside down, as the G force pushes you into your seat
Wow! He saved his own life! Props to him! We ride coasters all the time at SeaWorld and I’m always terrified about my lap bar coming undone despite their checks re checks and diligent camera system. I cannot imagine and I would have done the same. They need to be shut down. What if that was a child’s who didn’t know better? He not only saved himself but very possibly someone else’s by doing this. He’s a hero not reckless. God Bless this man.
He looks well above the weight limit. They should not have let him ride FOR THAT ALONE.
He looks above it? Do you know what the weight limit is?? Sheesh we don't even see his face 😂
Ok Omnipotus the all knowing

He's seems too intelligent in my opinion to be riding rollercoaster 🎢
The ride should have stopped automatically when the latch was undone. They should build a sensors.

This is why, even with over the shoulder restraints or lap bars, I think a redundant safety belt to keep them in place if the restraint fails should be federal law. I really do, and this is as an enthusiast. It happened to me on a B&M of all things, and the belt caught it (Batman Knight Flight at then Six Flags Geauga Lake, now Dominator at KD). This was in 2001, I have ridden over 700 coasters, thousands of actual rides including carnival rides, and it's the only time it has ever happened to me, nearly 24 years ago. So it's rare, but it CAN happen and redundant safety belts hurt nobody. I think they should be mandatory on drop towers and any ride with negative g forces, simple as that.
Thank god we don’t have “biG gUveRmEnT” regulating dangerous rides at theme parks to make sure people don’t die…
I’m sorry inspect rides ANNUALLY?!! How about once a week??!
UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am so glad there was a walkway on the side.
Kudos. What presence of mind this guy had to make the decision to climb out while he had the chance rather than make a futile attempt to hang on for dear life while it looped around.
Bros gettin paid
I don't think he got that payday he was hoping for that's why he went to the news.
That man saved his own life!
Who’s recording? The answer to this question will tell if he did it on purpose, for money or not.
@@PHOT0MATT That's because It's a silly question.
When you go to a theme park, you don't tend to go by yourself, you go with friends and family. Some of those will want to go on the ride, some won't, the ones that don't some of which would like to record the ones that do go on the ride and show it to those that did go on the ride. I highly suspect that's literally what's happening right now. This might not even be recorded by someone that knows the big guy btw.
@@LazyTitan9Correct, I'm someone who enjoys filming rides too. It gives me something to do while waiting in line. Or if I just want to put it together for a trip memory video. 👍
@@PHOT0MATT im with you bro. These people will believe anything. Gotta question everything especially the world we living in and everything thats going on 😂. No way somebody just casually recorded him that perfectly then that happens. Like miss me. Yeah people record and do stuff like that but not like this. It just looks setup to me. Then my next question is where was the people on the ride. If His big self (no offense) was the only one on the ride then thats why that happened. They tell you the capacity of the rides before you get on. Now if there were other people on there then this would be a different story.
His buddy the operator. Had to find a good spot to catch everything, which is away from the controls that's why the ride was'nt stopped.
@@r.k.867 fasho 😂🤣
I've been saying for years that Desert Storm is dangerous. The fact that you go UPSIDE DOWN and there's only a lap bar is crazy.
God that skin tag is staring back at me. Who set up this shot? How big is the skin tag on other side of his neck.
😂🤣
I think it’s the knot of a tied necklace
I god I hope it's not that 🤮
I'm not a doctor but maybe skin cancer?
The skin tag set up the interview
