Growing up in the 80's.
    #26966793 - 10/03/20 12:07 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)



Yeah, not in Jersey but in a Wave Pool I almost drowned trying to get to that fucking ladder and almost flew off the Alpine slide in Park City.  I shouldn't laugh but as a 80's kid I get it.  Wasn't the fear of the M's.  Plus the regulations which isn't a bad thing. 

But yeah, I felt real fear.  You don't give a kid a plastic thing to ride down on a mountain with allowing him/her to go as fast as they want to.  Almost flipped it.  I love adrenaline, but shit looking back at it that was a rush. 

God, the Summer of Covid.  What a waste.  They have a place here in Utah called Lagoon and I love the flying swings that go over an actual lagoon.  Felt like taking the buckle off and flying into it though I would be banned for life. 

Someone died from a roller coaster there, not joking, from standing up and having their head removed.  Quick death but the other people on it and the blood things like that would never leave ones mind.

What is the worst story you have experienced or heard at amusement parks and recreational places?:wonka:

There’s an old west themed amusement park near here that was partly known for for theatrical shootouts or something like that. They were supposed to only shoot blanks but apparently at one point someone got shot in the leg during a show, barely missing the femoral artery

I was just tall enough to ride this ferris wheel where the pods spun in circles in line with direction of the wheel if that makes sense.  I was an extremely skinny kid (chubby bastard now), well while riding this ride I was spinning it like crazy.  I slipped under the metal lock in place bar, and found myself on my hands and knees on the cage that opens to allow passengers entrance and exit, looking down about 300 ft.  The only thing holding the cage shut whas a rusty latch and pin and a dollar store padlock.

Like this, but the cages rotated


Pretty sure this was it



Notice all the carriages at slightly different rotational position along the ferris wheel axis

I grew up in the 80's fab times. Didn't see any hectic deaths on the dangerous rides of the day though.

Just a year or three ago at some theme park here in Aus one of those raging rapids type rides went titsup and most of the people on that particular carriage ended up dead. Drowned and bashed to a bloody pulp on the bottom of the fake river. They shut the park down for ages after that and had full super enquiries and safety audits and stuff. Bad day for thrill seekers.

God this made movie made laugh for those of that timeframe. 

VHYES.  Now let us release the new album Anal Fuck 666 and the old scroll down to click on to tune into on old cable.  Clit 3.  Lol.  There were never such things but they know how to use the old graphics.

Wow, fits the 80's quite well.  There is also a book about the time with people before the internet and when it just started and where it is now.  That strange divide. 

80's people will find great joy in this movie.  Tim Robbins and Susan makes a cameo.  They get it and produced it.

And yes R.I.P. Eddie.

Wow.  There are some really fucked up vids.  Youtube censored, wouldn't want to see it really as I went to one faces of death movie screening and couldn't get through half of it.  Felt like losing consciousness feeling and sickness.  This is just brutal.

One of those that I love to go on and is such a rush at that height.  But shit, been watching a lot of these vids and the odds of it happening to one especially nowadays are basically zero but still.  It bothers me deeply. I will add just one.  Escpecially how long it takes the paramedics and "engineers" to get one out and enduring that.  Get "shock" as the body and it's way to handle yet still, God, so many of these are so bad and I am not scared but back then, yeah, think I would of been.

More correct.

Someone shit thier pants on that centrifuge ride at the carnival when I was a kid. They hosed it down and it was ready for action the next day. Those were the days.

I got stabbed with a rusty nail on a ride at a seaside amusement park in York Beach, Maine in the mid 80s. Had to get a tetanus shot.

Naw I'm fine. But did I tell you guys about the time I accidentally detonated a time bomb I made from black power packed into rolled cardboard. That blasted the top layer of skin off my right arm.

I fell out of a tree and landed head first on a brick. That one wasn't very bad but it bled like a motherfucker.

I got my sweatshirt snagged in th front wheel of my bike as I was flying down a hill with my friend on the back of the bike. We flipped head first over the front wheel. I smeared my forearms along the pavement for 20 feet and he got flung into a bush.

I dislocated my finger playing basketball. It ended up bent sideways at a 90° angle and had to be reset under anesthesia.

I dislocated my shoulder playing hockey but it popped back in spontaneously.

I had a metal lab spatula impaled an inch under my kneecap. That I just pulled out and put a band aide on it.

I got hit in the forehead with a golf club when I stood too close to my friend as he teed off. That required a bunch of stitches.

I got hit in the face with a baseball bat when I was playing catcher when the batters grip slipped on his backswing.

I know I'm forgetting something
