That had to be a shock..

Human pinballs.

Lawsuit incoming.

Curious that it did not break under tension. Most certainly not AI-generated clickbate?

This happened on April 24th in Seville, Spain -- four injuries, though it doesn't appear that any were life-threatening. The manufacturer of that ride -- ironically named "Safeco" -- went bankrupt in 2020, so existing rides are in a sort of maintenance limbo.

You go on those rides to have the crap scared out of you - mission accomplished.
I feel sort of bad for the folks who have been waiting in line and then the ride closes.

I'd imagine the folks in line got the crap scared out of them watching that happen and realizing it could have been them.
