Ride malfunctions at 2021 National Cherry Festival in Traverse City

People rush to stabilize malfunctioning ride at Nati...

Yikes! I'm so glad people reacted quickly! This is here where I live too!

Now, sadly, if this was where I live, people in the county wouldn’t give a damn and just watch.

I'm from there too, but currently live in Saginaw, thank goodness everyone was ok and acted quickly

Yep. Furst one there was on the cellfurn camera.

Cami Mahovlich : I think I knew that but I'm not sure.

օJεssօ : this is likely a lot of tourists the Cherry Festival 🍒 is a huge thing.

Squeak =^..^= : I thought the same thing. but I thought maybe it was someone videoing someone on the ride.

Could be, Heather/Sanura🦩 .
Maybe video footage of the problem would also help at the inquest.
I'm just thinking 1 person is filming it, another is running in to try and help it.

I saw this on tiktok and it's so terrifying. I would have been screaming

Starfirez: carnival rides are constantly be set up and tore down in short time periods no way they are all safe.

Lilyana : me too!

Squeak =^..^= : could be they couldn't help for whatever reason too! and the video could help who knows!

That is bloody scary but also great to see that people rushed there to hold it down!

I wonder if when you are on the ride you even notice that it lifted... sincce you are in motion

🌈Chandni🏳️‍🌈 : thats a good question having ridden something I'd guess probably not.

🌈Chandni🏳️‍🌈 : to me it looked like some of the people were still waving their hands and didn't notice

omg this is the reason i don't ride anything when the local fair comes, i just shove my ass some funnel cake and caramel apples

these people are literally travelling across multiple cities every week and they assemble those so fast there's no regulation

maybe i'm paranoid but i ain't risking for a few secs of thrill, i do want some damn cotton candy tho
