Quote: Standee "I don't know that every ride is checked, but a lot of them are (and certainly the more dangerous one's) the operators are liscenced and the legal implications of an accident of the result of negligence are huge.
It isn't like 30 years ago, these things are immensely expensive pieces of machinery operated by fairl big companies, some are multi-nationals.'"
I'm sure you are right, wasn't there an incident a couple of years back where a young girl was left hanging in one of them slingshot rides that fires you in a cage into the sky on 2 bungee ropes?
I was injured at fair when i was young, i got a smack to the head off a pilkey for rocking one of them machines where you try to get the 2p pieces to fall off the edge
