ALL THE FARCE OF THE FAIR!!
A comment / rant from Col!
 
So - I was involved in an incident on board a Tip Top ride recently... you can read, and see a video of the ordeal,
BY CLICKING HERE!!
 
I dunno how many fellow funfair enthusiasts frequent the forum known as 'All the Fun of the Fair'... if you do you may wish to read on, if not, go see something more worthwhile!!
 
Discussion of the incident, has resulted in Bill, the (rather unfriendly & arrogant) owner of ATFOF deleting my account!! - "We do not wish to portray an image of negativity, or anything derogatory to the showmen...!!!"
 
ATFOF forum is actively DENYING incidents, which is protecting irresponsible showmen, and dangerous rides.
 
I believe 'hushing' incidents rather than discussing them, is a very irresponsible approach! If there's an accident - people involved with rides OUGHT to know, so they can ensure incidents do not get repeated.
 
The press tend to sensationalise incidents. I think it would be better, for rational, supportive discussion of the industry, to assure people MOST RIDES ARE SAFE! Most visitors here are thrill ride enthusiasts, who are aware of this already.
 
Banning me - what's the point?! - YES it's pi$$ed me off & I'm BOUND to write an article here, duh!!
 
The owners of the ride involved & its brown-nosers should be grateful I chose to discuss & highlight, rather than sue for injuries incurred & plaster this incident all over Youtube!!
 
Seeya - hope nothing happens to YOUR kids Bill...
