5 die in fall from Ferris Wheel (S. Korea)

ksfrogman · 08-13-2007, 02:36 PM

I'm not a big off-topic person, but get secretly unnerved by the height of ferris wheels, often wondering while riding if it can ever fall or break.

In all seriousness though, I don't mind ferris wheels - the traditional types that is. Have you seen those crazy-ass ones?

Picture a normal ferris wheel, spinning like usual, then picture each individual kart spinning independently from a motor (or something). It's like a vertical Sandstorm (a ride that some people may know of if they've been to Busch Gardens).
