Nightmare Fuel: Two Kids Got Stuck Upside Down On An Arkansas State Fair Ride

I'm sure the Arkansas State Fair is a nice time, and judging by how much fun Dave had at the Texas State Fair I'm sure all State Fairs are a fun time. I wouldn't know. I was sworn to a blood oath and brainwashed by my father at an early age that "we don't do feasts, fairs, festivals and parades." Which is ironic because since we've been alive none of his teams have had a parade. Luckily for me I zagged away from his Jets fandom and got to see 2 Giants parades (from a distance I didn't go). I have also zagged on him for parades in general. Many trips in my 20's to the Staten Island St.Patrick's Day Parade dancing and romancing with a $7 Bud Lite 16oz bottle in my hands, but none of this is the point.

The real point here is how insane it must be to be stuck on a ride upside down for 2 minutes let alone 15 minutes. Just nightmare fuel like you read about, and the poor mother has to sit there and watch ... absolutely brutal. Just think about all the blood rushing to you head, how annoying it is to be stuck in such. a brutal position, how scary it is, and then all the people staring at you. Terrible. The mother was rightfully so ... freaking out. Who wouldn't be? 

Good thing they said they checked the ride's safety functions 5 times, the last thing you wanna do at these events is skimp on safety. Paulie Walnuts learned that the hard way.
