Nice and funny expected a bot to preform the task. Didn't expect a human.

[-] BornVolcano@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Widen your expectations, fellow human

The feeris 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.

[-] AppaYipYip@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Totally agreed! However the ferris wheel was built by actual engineers not some rich guy who fired/sued his engineers into silence.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

A Google News search for “carnival accident” shows that carnival rides seemingly kill or seriously injure people in the US every couple weeks.

[-] AnAnxiousCorgi@lemmy.reddeth.com 44 points 1 year ago

I don't trust those corn field carnival rides either, those things terrify me even more than the submarine, so speak for yourself lol.

[-] coffeekomrade@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

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

[-] C_Leviathan@lemmy.ml 42 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 9 points 1 year ago

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?)

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We don't know that your second point is true.

[-] RedSeries@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

The meth dude didn't design and fabricate the ferris wheel though, just set it up?

[-] C_Leviathan@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

Yes and he's done it twice a week every week for a long time.

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] deeznutz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago

I didn't pay six figures for a carnival ticket.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Learn to weld and start looking at the welds on those things. You wont be riding them for long.

[-] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 1 year ago

Us engineers know you welders suck so we put big safety factors on them. :-D

[-] stewie3128@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Three-toothed meth head is still alive too

[-] gonzo0815@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

The Ferris wheel has a survival chance of >0 though.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The Ferris wheel isn't made of cardboard and has a weight limit of 30lbs

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Hey now, that's corrugated cardboard, not just any cardboard!
