Honey, I'm home! Fire up the mothafunking GRAVITRON!
I was so jealous of the carny who would get up and walk around on the inside wall.
Yeah one of them did that near me and then he fell in and get splattered on everyone.
That damn centripetal force!
In? In the Gravitron I rode, it was just sleds on the slightly-slanted walls that went up when it got up enough speed. There wasn't really anywhere to fall into. I mean yeah, he could easily break an arm or something, but nothing that would splatter him.
Oh you're right. It was a scrambler ride, not graviton.
A scrambler doesn't have walls? It would definitely splatter someone anyway.
Right what threw me is that the particular scrambler was at an amusement park not a carnival. It had walls and was in the dark with lights and music.
Tbf we lost gravitron privileges at my country fair because kids kept getting fucked up trying to stand up on the walls.
