Y'all are super judgy about this submarine thingy looking for the titanic considering mast of you will ride a Ferris Wheel that a meth-head with three teeth set up in a grocery store parking lot in a half hour.

109thanks you for your service
19Good human. Thank you.
12Glad to know you guys are here too
8Good user.
6Nice and funny expected a bot to preform the task. Didn't expect a human.
3Widen your expectations, fellow human

The ferris wheel was QA'd to the point that even a meth-head could set it up safely.
56There's a saying - build an idiot-proof system and they'll build a better idiot
34Also:
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Lmao it absolutely was not.
19Totally agreed! However the ferris wheel was built by actual engineers not some rich guy who fired/sued his engineers into silence.

A Google News search for “carnival accident” shows that carnival rides seemingly kill or seriously injure people in the US every couple weeks.

I don't trust those corn field carnival rides either, those things terrify me even more than the submarine, so speak for yourself lol.
47Looking at the bright side, at least in a submarine you aren’t going to feel 4000lbs of pressure in every direction coming at you at once because it’ll happen faster than your brain can register. Not like you’d feel it anyway after being reduced to the human equivalent of a gogurt

I guarantee the three-toothed meth-head knows more about assembling and running a carnival ride than submarine dude knows about his best buy remote control.
Plus, one of them is still alive.
43Honestly the more I read about all the things wrong with that submarine, the more I think the CEO Stockton Rush deserves a Darwin Award. (Though maybe he'd be disqualified due to age or already having kids?)
8We don't know that your second point is true.

The meth dude didn't design and fabricate the ferris wheel though, just set it up?
20Yes and he's done it twice a week every week for a long time.
14
The Ferris wheel doesn't go 2.5 miles deep underwater though. And you can sit there and watch successful trips on the Ferris wheel before you decide to risk it.
14I didn't pay six figures for a carnival ticket.
12Learn to weld and start looking at the welds on those things. You wont be riding them for long.
8Us engineers know you welders suck so we put big safety factors on them. :-D

Three-toothed meth head is still alive too
6The Ferris wheel has a survival chance of >0 though.
6The Ferris wheel isn't made of cardboard and has a weight limit of 30lbs
3Hey now, that's corrugated cardboard, not just any cardboard!

Guilty!
