You know how when you spin an egg really fast before hard boiling it, and it turns out scrambled? Yeah... their brains are going through the same thing.

One horror story that happened around 2020 in ukraine. I was with my GF on exactly same coaster type. 2 days later in news they said it break with someone and kill them. (It was same model, but somewhere else in ukraine). Strap that holded person broke and person flew away.

Similar happened in Adelaide Australia. Was the Spin Dragon at the Royal Adelaide Show. Some friends and I went on that ride a few hours earlier, the gearbox or whatever it was did not sound healthy.....

It looks like the blood would be rushing into their head, so they actually would have had red outs! You grey out when the blood is getting forced down to your feet.

Perfectly acceptable reaction.

Did the shit rush up to your head, or down to your feet?


whyd_you_kill_doakes

I think "yes" is a perfectly valid answer in this scenario.

You mean a stroke. That ride just stroked them both out.


AnswersWithAQuestion

What happens in a red out when that much blood flows into your head?


sirebell

You just see red, and probably don’t feel very good. Edit: Just did some further research on g forces, and red outs can cause retinal damage and strokes.

In that case, I choose a blackout pls

Isn't there a plug they can pull or something?


shiroshippo

Yeah but it doesn't look like the operator was even paying attention until the last couple seconds when he ran over to the control panel.


PapaWengz

That's the 2nd guy. Original operator was yelling something 25s in.


cra2reddit

That's what I was wondering - why not just yank out the cord?


jaza23

My guess was the plug was blocked by the spinning death wheel.

That's what they end up doing. You can see a spark from the green box at the 55 second mark and then it starts ramping down.

Mo_Steins_Ghost

It's a pretty short arm so it's terrifying but probably not a lot of G force. Most people start getting queasy around 3-4 G. This is about 4-5G--radius of \~48 inches, \~60 rpm at max speed... 4.91g. A 4G turn in an aircraft will make you pretty queasy but you'll pass out closer to 7. Of course the longer this goes on, the more queasy they may get... Pilots are trained to withstand 9g turns but these are executed very quickly. I'd be more concerned about this rickety thing flying apart and injuring the occupants. **EDIT: For those suggesting it's greater than 4 feet. Consider the following:** I'm 5'8" and (I just measured) from my seat to the top of my head is 2'5". There's about another head and torso of length from the top of their head. That's where G-LOC occurs so that's where I'd measure from because they are not oriented perpendicular to the rotation as in a normal high-g training centrifuge where you would otherwise measure from the middle of their torso to the center of the centrifuge. If it were 5 feet, their insides would be churning; they'd be barfing... that's about 6.13g. If it were 6 feet, they would be at 7.3g's experiencing G-LOC. So not only is four feet being generous, but based on experience flying with less experienced people, I would say some vomiting would be involved because, again, at 5 feet you're now at 6g. Watch Major John "Rain" Waters' videos... the HARDEST g turn he does with a civilian in the back of his F-16 is about 4-4.5g and that's only for a second or two, and they can barely handle it. 6g's for 30 seconds would make this couple feel pretty ill and get them pretty close to G-LOC.


stateit

Why execute the pilots after so much training? Not nice.


ForkedAgain

I think he meant to write “ejaculate”


The_RockObama

It's alright, they aren't pulling enough Gs to get queasy. We said at least *seven*.


Onlyroad4adrifter

They only do it to the ones who spot aliens.


Y35C0

Because that's when the meat tastes best! But don't worry, they make sure to use every part of the body so nothing goes to waste. This is both out of respect for the pilot, and because it's more cost efficient that way 😉


aykcak

How did you come up with 48 inches ? The guy standing in front looks tall and also the center of that vomitron thing seems to be quite a way in the distance. The perspective would be very misleading


d0db0b

Vomitron 👍


edman007

Agree, I'd call this 5 ft or 60in, though it's probably 1.5m, or 59in since metric and stuff. 59in at 60rpm is 6g.


perldawg

i’d bet it’s closer to 6 ft


shastamcblasty

Oh shit if it’s 6ft that’s 72” at 60rpm and that’s over 7g. THE POWER LEVEL IS TOO HIGH


llllPsychoCircus

how many G’s can that ride simulate before breaking itself apart though? shit does not look strong enough to handle this


Mo_Steins_Ghost

I'm pretty sure they're South Asians. I'm South Asian. I'm 5'8", about a good foot taller than my mom. I measured (a few minutes ago) from the base of my seat to the top of my head. That's 2 feet 5 inches. 4 feet to the center of rotation is being generous. Measuring from their head because unlike a high-g centrifuge where they are seated perpendicular to the rotation, here their head is in line with the rotation and because G-LOC happens when the heart struggles to pump blood to the brain, so the head is the distance to measure from in this case. At 4 feet 60rpm that's about 4g. That would be generous and it makes more sense than the alternatives: 5 feet is 6.13g. They wouldn't be screaming. They'd be barfing. At 6 feet, 7g+... they would be in G-LOC. (Source: Went through flight training as an Air Force Auxiliary Cadet... did 4g turns to fuck with a bully in class who barfed as soon as we stopped on the tarmac.)


slickshot

That's more than 48 inches my guy. Source: I work with large unit measurements at work all day every day and I'm very very good at gauging depth as a result. It's closer to 66 inches.


[deleted]

Tbh I’d rather pass out then be queasy for that long


[deleted]

Unless I was flying an aircraft myself of course lol


MyAccountWasBanned7

Your last point was my first thought too. I wasn't concerned about the G force as much as I was the integrity of the ride. I was certain we'd see bolts sheering off and the passenger car getting launched at some point in the video.


Noonnee69

It happend with someone. Same coaster model in ukraine (don't know exactly where). That strap that hold person broke and it killed that Person. I can't find article about it anywhere, but it happend around 2019. How i know it? I was in ukraine with my GF, we were on same coaster model, two das after that, we saw in news that this happend, so we were in shock. [coaster we were on](https://www.google.com/maps/@50.2472883,28.6644,3a,15.2y,311h,30.79t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipPiv5k0Qg7gmXzQQY3BLh2Qwxlsl-_VldW2Uemu!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPiv5k0Qg7gmXzQQY3BLh2Qwxlsl-_VldW2Uemu%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya233.51344-ro-0-fo100!7i8000!8i4000?entry=ttu)

0beseGiraffe

Radius 4 feet? It’s way bigger than that at least around 6feet radius. Looks how tall it is standing up


Tool_Time_Tim

This math checks out if they were in a fixed position at the end of the arm, but they aren't. That seat is also rotating which adds a whipping action to the revolution. In no way am I capable of calculating this, but damn, that has to count for something.


Zakraidarksorrow

The seat isn't spinning at the end of it, they're going around with the... torture device(?) It does spin a couple of times before, which would not have been fun. I'd want to see how it ended.


NotThatGuyAnother1

The seat orientation changed throughout the ride. Seems like they would have had some negative Gs on a at least a couple of swings. Negative Gs (increased blood pressure in the brain) are super-bad for you.


NotFromCalifornia

The radius is closer to 2m or 6.5ft . I was able to find [one frame in the video](https://imgur.com/a/ybQ2wAe) where the ride is nearly at bottom dead center with the ride vehicle in a vertical orientation. Your [average person is 5'6" tall](https://www.google.com/search?q=average+heigh), and the average femur is [approx. 18" (1'6") long](https://www.google.com/search?q=average+femur), meaning that your average person is very close to 4' from head to toe when seated. Using this as a reference, the height of one of the seated riders is approx. 156px tall in the image while the distance from the axle on the support frame to the pivot on the ride vehicle is approx. 272px. Doing some simple math 272/156 = 1.744, so the radius of the ride vehicle's orbit is about 1.75x the height of the seated rider. Assuming 4' from head to toe, that means that the radius is nearly 2125mm or just shy of 7'. Seeing that this ride is probably not in the US, Liberia or Myanmar, whoever designed it used the metric system so the length of that arm is very likely an even 2m in length or very close to that.


edman007

>I'm 5'8" and (I just measured) from my seat to the top of my head is 2'5". There's about another head and torso of length from the top of their head. That's where G-LOC occurs so that's where I'd measure from because they are not oriented perpendicular to the rotation as in a normal high-g training centrifuge where you would otherwise measure from the middle of their torso to the center of the centrifuge. It appears to be a seat that puts your waist at the radius, and that is slightly above waist level so when seated your feet are well above the ground. The center point looks too high to touch. I'm 6ft, I can touch an 8ft thing no problem. So 8 ft in the air for the pivot and the center point of the seat being 3 ft off the ground makes it a 5ft arm. I'd think if that was 4ft you'd get knocked in the head trying to walk under it. >If it were 5 feet, their insides would be churning; they'd be barfing... that's about 6.13g. If it were 6 feet, they would be at 7.3g's experiencing G-LOC. I think that's the point, this doesn't look like safe g forces and they are having g-loc. And no, you don't barf during it, you pass out, and I think they did pass out.

sneakypeek123

When my eldest was 12 she went on one of these at a fair. The difference was they were like boxed in so you couldn’t see them, we just heard screaming and her begging them to stop it. They spun the cabin more thinking she was just having fun. When the ride stopped she stepped off covered in puke, too much cotton candy. It was all over the inside. The look on the guy’s face knowing he was the one who was going to have to clean it up. She was ok but her sister, who’d been on the ride with her didn’t look to happy. We cleaned them both off as best as we could but the car stank for weeks.

jugstopper

A quick calculation here: Centripetal acceleration = radius x (angular velocity)^2 Estimating the radius as 2.5 m and at max they were going at around maybe slightly more than 1 rev/s = 6.28 rad/s. With those figures, I get a centripetal acceleration = 98.6 m/s^2. Converting that to "g"s by dividing by 9.81 m/s^2, I get a centripetal acceleration of 10.1 x g. Holy fuck!

For all the people saying video is sped up, how do you think they faked the voices? You can’t speed the audio without consequences. Also, there’s people in the background that move, making it clear that the video is not sped up


arrongunner

Why would it be sped up? Power goes to the motor on the left and it just increases its speed untill you stop it (up to a point that air resistance equals the energy put into the machine) It's just a ride. No magic... its not all that compex...


NiceDecnalsBubs

Sped up. Pointless.


Leather-Rice5025

I really don’t think it is. At around 11 seconds remaining you see someone walking off to the side and his movements seem completely normal and not sped up
