Yes, she probably does drink from a still.

Love the fact that she's also drinking trash wine (I think that brand is one of the cheapest I've seen)

Drinking to kill the pain in her knees from the fall

And thats exactly how it was expected to go since I didn't see any kind of braking mechanism

Im surprised they even got here up there with the amount of force that would be needed

she also didn't sit correctly in her seat i think

Yea I am thinking the bottle she was drinking from during tyhe 2nd part of the video was mostly consumed before the ferris wheel ride.

I mean I think that Ferris wheel is intended for kids and as such the seats were too small for her to fit in them the way they were intended.

She sat on top instead of in the seat, unbalancing the whole seat causing her to flip, if she had sat properly in the seat, gravity would have held the seat upright and she could have enjoyed a fun ride

Balancing the wheel with another person might have helped, but you'd have still needed to get her up high enough to let the next person get in opposite

parent root

7 points bfs102

And they would have to be extremely close in weight or the person on top would get launched when the heavier on stops it at the bottom

Can't help thinking that if purple tanktop lady had grabbed the back of the wheel once FerrisWheelWoman got over the top, it might have ended slightly less dramatically. But then we all couldn't have had a larf.

He can stay on the ground but has to be opposite of her, if she’s coming down he has to be on the side going up and vice versa. It’s easier to control the whole thing when you’re using a pulling motion to either bring up or slow descent.

It looks like they accidentally installed a breaking mechanism instead

That is, in fact the passenger's nickname.

I'd say if you get to do stupid stunts like this and are still around to laugh about it at her age, it's a massive win.

Am I the only one who was hoping to see the wheel break loose and go hurtling off screen?

Possibly.

Dude's never seen people actually riding a Ferris wheel... there's a reason they load people on opposite sides.

parent

8 points Lomotograph

And also the fact that he was trying to rotate it by hand solo on the downward side of the wheel was stupid.

Once grandma reached the top, he and his helper lady should have switched to the opposite side of grandma on the wheel which is what I thought he was going to do. As soon as the lady stepped away and he continued on, then I knew exactly how this was going to end.

Not the sharpest tools in the shed, this bunch.

This is the exact kind of lady who somehow lives to be 100.

It's either that or someone with a green tea and lembas bread diet, there is no inbetween.
