Explain why it’s not you who is the absolute buffoon here?
Because you’re presented with a photo of a ferries wheel that is installed in apparently uneven terrain. It’s highly questionable just how compacted that dirt actually is, seeing as nobody even bothered flattening it in the first place, so what do you wager are the chances of one of those massive outrigs you claim are under there sinking or slipping, putting a bunch of load on the structure, and causing it to fail violently?
And what if it rains? How is that soil gonna behave when it’s full of water?
Because going by the care these guys took when setting up these horrifying stilts, I feel like I’m looking at an involuntary manslaughter case waiting to happen.
But sure, go on with your “uhyuk, people stoopid” chant, may you convince many others like you to ride deathtraps. I’ll be sure to send thoughts and prayers.
EDIT: here’s manufacturer schematics of what looks to be a similar sized ride. Those outrigs aren’t looking that mighty…
EDIT2: Actually, nevermind. Here’s one of your super secure outrigs:
Nah, between the wood being virturally uncompressable and the overall weight of the structure you could hit that with a sledge all day long and it would be safe.
