Excavator Amusement Ride


I'd hate to pay their liability insurance.

At least we have something to fall back on if it gets to slow. And just coming into season.

Awe come on now....that is probably 10 times safer than the rusty ass pieces of crap that the "carnies" put up and break down every week at local fairs and carnivals.

The biggest problem I see is changing direction too fast and maybe having some "spillage"!

I can see the operator now-

"Hey, no puking on my ride!" and tries shaking the kid off the bucket.

Re: Excavator Amusement Ride


With the exception of working in a rock quarry, I'm not a ground work guy, but I was just about to post this for ya...lol.

I'm almost SURE that osha would not approve. He's takin' it up and down too...little to happy with the stick and the bucket's in the ground, while turning at a high (for an excavator) rate of speed.

Thank's but I think I'd hafta pass.
