Oh wow. Poor guy.

Thanks for details Herman.

DAMN. Hope it was quick. I never ever go on rides at carnivals because I don’t trust them

But we still went to the petting zoos, and walked through the sales area where you buy treasure hunting equipment and teeny-tiny cinnamon donuts and specialized cooking devices that are a miracle, and bedazzling devices to make your jeans sparkly, and all the other stuff like that.
And we saw the pigs at the fair.

I am a 42 year experienced A and P Mechanic, and I KNOW I will never ride on one of those fair rides! Nice to hear from you the same view.

Airplane mechanics typically notice small details. I have heard similar statements from many of the guys I worked with.

On this particular ride, we went ahead and rode it, even though she wanted to leave after my quick analysis of why the ride was so scary for me. But we stayed, rode, and survived.
Then we went and petted the Llamas, and she was happy.

The Pima County Fair is not a seedy fair. All the entertainers are top names, and the shows are amazing. We went and saw a show with white tigers, and another one with dolphins. It's just some of the amusement rides are a little iffy. The Fair itself if pretty awesome.
Especially the mini-donuts and the Llama petting.

That's a rookie mistake he won't make again.
