Do you think Travelling Fairs are safe? I think they are unsafe mainly because of the people who operate the rides, they dont seem to care about saftey issues at all about the people who are riding, Also, I think the people who go to fairs are mainly people looking for trouble, especially at night-time
what do you think?

I hate fairs and I definitely think they're unsafe.

The one ride I bothered going on when I went to one was the ferris wheel and it had no seatbelts or ANY form of protection. I could've fallen off so easily.

The only thing I like about fairs is the greasy junk food they sell.

The one in america [arizona state fair] that I went too seemed a LOT safer than the fairs back here in england, people actually cared about you, and pushed down your harness's on the rides etc... :p

I love the fair, lol. I always flirt with the men like running the rides so i can get free goes. The fact that you could fall off makes them more fun me think. Anyway, themeparks arn't always safe, didn't you hear bout that girl in Oakwood who fell off Hydro?

I suppose so :p
the one that comes to my town has a ride called the egg rollers, its a fast ferris wheel that the carriages on it can spin around upside down etc, its unsafe because all you have is a metal bar going over your legs, also someone has fallen out of it and died before, my local fair has a bad reputation :p

We have one of those, we call it the cage. Ours are like enclosed thou, they have a metal grate at the top so you cant fall out, there so much fun, i always control the bit in the middle and spin them round and scare my friend muahaha.

we used to have a massive drop tower that shouldnt of been a portable ride :p
But they had to replace is with this stupid bouncy thing this year, I agree it was unsafe :p but it was still fun though :p

your lucky you have a perment one, our one was portable, it was quite little if you compare it to one like the ice blast at blackpool [which my friend is going to force me to go on on saturday ;[ ]
Im pretty scared of drop rides, its the only ride Im scared of really ;p
