Honestly not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand I’m generally against pranks that make the victim believe they are about to die. OTOH, people generally go on these kind of rides to be scared anyway? This would certainly enhance that aspect of the experience.
I don’t want to be a wet blanket, but this is bad. I work in amusement ride safety, and a panicky rider is not a logical rider. If people believe they are in legitimate danger they will find ways to do things that are really dangerous – defeat restraints, position their bodies in way that cause real harm, etc. I understand he’s trying to have fun but… I’ve seen some things.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think this guy is an asshole. No one should go on a ride that is meant for enjoyment and actually fear for their life. Especially since people DO die on rides like this.
I went on one of those slingshot rides when I was younger, and the guys running the ride were killing it. When we went on, they pretended to just be guys from the food court watching the ride, but that they could “probably figure it out”. Just before we got launched, the ride made a loud bang (which it did every time and was normal) but the one guy yells at the other guy “what was that? Yooo don’t let them go!!!” right before we launched.
When we went on it a second time, the guy says to me “do you want a countdown?” I said sure, and he sent us immediately.
I’m not going to be a party pooper and say this isn’t funny. It is. But I can’t help but think that these people waited in line with the intention of probably only doing this once and their experience was kinda ruined. You’re supposed to be scared but not literally scared for your life.
This has happened to me on a ride that flipped upside down etc. It went in circles a hundred feet in the air and would suspend me upside down for 15 seconds and spin back down in reverse. I never managed to get the seatbelt on all the way and they guy made sure to tell everyone that it was very important that we all got the seatbelts on tightly and I tried to tell him mine wasn’t clicking on and he started the ride. I looked at my gf at the time and told her I wasn’t buckled. We started to scream to stop but the ride included really loud music so everyone figured we were screaming normally and I held on to the base of the seat belt where you connect the other end to it with one hand, and with my other hand, I held onto the seatbelt. I literally had to fear such an iron grip on these two pieces that I can feel myself lifting off the seat slightly when we were being suspended upside down but somehow I managed to not fall out of that ride and die. My hands were hurting so bad they were so red but I had that iron grip also helped that the girl I was with of the time used both her hands to hold one of my legs down. We were both in so much fear dangling for dear life for 15 to 20 seconds upside down streaming because I thought I would not be able to hold on and I would lose my grip and drop 100 feet and went dancing reversed and started spinning us around in reverse. I started feeling sick to my stomach. I have so much and anxiety, and was already coming into terms that I was going to die. When the ride start I got off that road so fast I was shaking. My hands were hurting. The girlfriend I had at the time was crying. We told the operator the seatbelt wasn’t working on that ride. We talk to the management about it because he didn’t confirm that everyone was buckled in correctly before starting to ride and then we left. Whether the guy got fired or not, I’ll never know. I’m just glad I’m still here today.
could this be dangerous if one of them really think something’s wrong and they start getting out while pushes that button? Just asking everybody’s thoughts
I don’t understand, is making people think they might die or become disabled funny? It’s a completely reasonable expectation for however many seconds this experience takes.
I’ve seen this done with loose nuts and bolts too.
“Oh hang on I gotta fix your seat so it doesn’t come detached!”
This is brutal… when part 2?
I love it when he just makes up words lmaoo
“Hold on, there’s something wrong with the meddula oblongata”. Lol
That’s why you pay up front
There is a person who REALLY enjoys their job. Well done!
He forgot the:
Thingamadoodle
The gravy
Skiminaridink
=Shoulder Straps
“Forgot the gravy.”
Love it
Hold on. There’s something wrong with the left phalange…
I lost it at the “skinimarink” line
Ride operators are ornery because of their medulla oblongata
Hold on ladies, there’s something wrong with your seat belts…
Ladies: unstraps seat belts to check…
aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
Aaaaahhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
The screams are so consistent. That’s as funny as the operator’s teasing.
That fourth one killed me:
​
OHHH MYYY GOOODDDD!!!!
“OOOHHhhh myyy gaaww…………”
I wanna see the after the ride reactions! Lol
This guy is terrible at his job. He has forgotten something every single time! Unbelievable!
Serious question though… there are literally no straps, seatbelts, or lap bars on that ride… how tf do they not fall out??
This guy is chaotic evil
It ain’t got no gas in it
Wouldn’t be able to enjoy that if I legitimate thought I was going to die
The fact there’s only a lap belt is terrifying!

As an Irishman the thing that surprises me most about this video is the lack of swearing…

Plot twist: He just straight up killed all those people.
Which ride is this?
Satan: I’m a huge fan
I guess this is pretty close to knowing how it feels before death from an accident.
The seatbelt joke is not fun at all
So happy no one grabbed onto the side railing in a panic
What if I don’t want to be in your TikTok?
Pull the lever Kronk

Something wrong with the medulla oblongota. Ah damn, I forgot the gravy hold on.

Misdirection related to when they’re going to drop is fine and dandy, but when you misdirect about safety that’s not cool
Isn’t the ride scary enough, lol. Damn

There are a lot of dead people at the bottom.
This joke is funny until he really does forget to add the gravy
It ain’t got no gas in it
Unpopular opinion I guess, but this is kinda fucked up
could this be dangerous if one of them really think something’s wrong and they start getting out while pushes that button? Just asking everybody’s thoughts
How many must die before we stop him!
“Yooouuu Bastaraaaaaaaaadddd!”
