When you get stuck on a ride
New fear unlocked...
The expectation that everything mechanical will always function is unrealistic.
This holds true for many things in life, and it's something not everyone considers when visiting a fair or theme park.
However, as with any adventure, there are bound to be a few bumps along the way, especially when it comes to thrill rides.
This time, a group of riders found themselves stuck on a ride, suspended mid-air while they waited for help to get them safely down.
While being stuck mid-air wasn’t ideal, it looked like some of the riders were holding onto the tower section.
What made the situation worse was the fact that bystanders took the opportunity to record the incident.

At first glance, it appeared to be a carousel ride with horses, but a closer look revealed that people were actually hanging on.
Not much information was provided about what happened next, but the person filming spoke about how technology cannot be trusted.
What are your thoughts?
Would you be able to understand if this happened to you, or would you swear off rides for good?
