Fairground powercut in galashiels

[matt16103]

omg I was on that when the power went, it was really weird cause that ride is so smooth I didn't twig it at first till I got my bearings again, just gently revolving around it was kinda like yeah this is ok, till it started effin raining lol. didn't last that long maybe a few minutes looked like some one hit the reset switch lol then of we went again, I finished the rest of its cycle then stopped, still an awesome ride though

Why was it still turning then?

[theultimatekoopa2]

@steveowen21 The ride was turning. The power then went out while it was turning, and so it continued turning until it stopped, unless the power cut also prevented the breaks from stopping the ride, and so spun forever. The point is, that the ride wouldn't just suddenly stop in an instant, other wise, the force would blast everyone out of their seats, like a car hitting a wall.

[steveowen21]

good point.
