1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Hey, that, folks, some of the biggest fears people have

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: our fear of heights. They also have a fear of

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: roller coaster. But what if you put those two things together.

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: Well, most people who are afraid of heights probably don't

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: go on roller coasts.

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: Well that's the thing.

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: I would argue that maybe that that's the place they

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: feel safest. Well, they not hate everybody. Welcome to this

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: episode of Amy and TJ. But yes, that is one

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: of the A lot of people will tell you they

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: have a fear of heights, but I have. I'm not

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: a big fan of heights at all, but I love

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: a roller coaster.

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. I was just thinking about that because

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: when we were dangling off of the edge, you were

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: genuinely like it, very much afraid, but you had roller.

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: Coasters, roller coasters, and you know, I even enjoy it.

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: And folks don't know the edge here in New York,

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: how many heights?

20
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: How many floors up? Is it?

21
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: They built it here in Midtown? Yeah, one hundred stories, right,

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: so they did? They have this attraction. Now you can

23
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: go up on the side of a building and they

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: strap you in. We did this on live TV, and

25
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: you lot to really lean out over New York City,

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: over Manhattan, completely dangling.

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: My favorite thing was so we did this together, and

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: we did it on live television. But TJ he was

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: a good sport because he did it despite his fear.

30
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: But my favorite part of it is that you were

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: like bending your knees and trying not to lean as

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: much as if that was going to save you if

33
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: some of the equipment malfunctions.

34
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: Well you didn't hear the safety briefing because they said

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: just bend your knees and you'll be okay.

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: Right then you'll just be able to sit back and

37
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: you won't fall forward.

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: No, it's it was terrified. It's hard to trust an apparatus.

39
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: It's hard to trust that this thing is going to hold.

40
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: But roller coasters, as a kid, from a kid level,

41
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: absolutely loveable.

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: Well, I've always been a believer. If you're getting on

43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: an airplane, or you're even getting in a vehicle, or

44
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: you're getting into anything where there's some sort of potential

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: for accent, you kind of have to trust the vehicle,

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: trust the system, trust the harnesses. Yes they can be

47
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: checked in double check, but at a certain point you

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: have to suspend fear and just trust that things are

49
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: going to work the way they're.

50
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: Supposed to, okay, and sometimes they don't. You all see

51
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: stories over the years, There's been plenty of stories. Now unfortunately,

52
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: there have been tragedies at amusement parks over the years

53
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: where people have died on rides from a malfunction or

54
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: something has happened. But more often than that, we do

55
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: see video of rides and people getting stuck on those

56
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 1: rides at amusement park. That seems like it happens kind

57
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: of a lot lot.

58
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: Do that go through your mind because we have been

59
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: on rides together, Does that ever go through your mind

60
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: when you're on the ride? What would happen.

61
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: If I come up with a plan for myself it

62
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: doesn't work. You know what I get more worried about

63
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: is ride in the subway I do. I'll go on

64
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: the subway and I know the exits, how many people

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: are here, that guy's wearing that coat. This person's probably

66
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: a bigger threat. I do that on a train, ye

67
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: on a subway.

68
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: There are so many places where you could beach wrapped

69
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: and it would be scary and having a plan is

70
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: actually really smart.

71
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: But the but as far as rollercoasters.

72
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Go or yeah, what would your plan be?

73
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: I have always thought, well, if it gets stuck here,

74
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: am I able to climb down? I always think can I?

75
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Because most you're not supposed to be able to get

76
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: out of those because they lock you in right right,

77
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: that's a safety thing because they don't want people jumping out.

78
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah, I'm looking for falling out.

79
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: Yes there is that.

80
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: But I'm looking for ay through. I guess gain the set.

81
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: But it does doesn't seem like over the years we

82
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: see a bunch of stores. Maybe it's not that many,

83
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: but well, let's just.

84
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: We worked in morning television that was like, other than

85
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: a shark attack, a malfunctioning ride with video to a company,

86
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: it is like warning show of gold because everyone can

87
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: imagine what it would be like and it's scary, so

88
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: it's relatable immediately and people do exactly what you just said.

89
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: Think about what would I do now all of those scenarios.

90
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: There could be a situation in which you could take action,

91
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: But what happens if you're suspended upside down?

92
00:03:59,480 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: Like?

93
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: What can you do?

94
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: Have you been stuck on a ride before?

95
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: I have never been stuck, thankful, and I ride a

96
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: lot of rides so my time could be coming. How

97
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: about you.

98
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: It got stuck before we got in the middle of

99
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: the ride. This happened with Sabine.

100
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 3: I don't know. It was a bad experience.

101
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: At at at an amusement park to where we arrived.

102
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: I was telling you this earlier we arrived. Ok, it

103
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: was a six Flags it's just still. It was the

104
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Six Flags over Georgia, which was at the exit where

105
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: my house was located in Atlanta. So I passed this place.

106
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I had to pass it almost twice a day at least,

107
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: and never went. In seventeen years, not one time did

108
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: I visit the Six Flags over Georgia. Sabine and I finally,

109
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: let's just do it. This wasn't just a couple of

110
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: years ago maybe finally going. We were so excited, just

111
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: the two of us get out there. We're passing the

112
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: first set of rides, and you know the rides with

113
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: the swings, you just sit in the swing. It's kind

114
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: of chain and just go around. Simple but kind of thrilling.

115
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: And people were just dangling. The ride wasn't going, and

116
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: people's legs were just they were just there dangling.

117
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: Twisting in the wind.

118
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: They weren't twisting. They wish they were twisting. The ride

119
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: was stuck, We wanted to ride it. We kept going,

120
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: rode something that came back. It was still stuck, so

121
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: at least twenty minutes, so if we had maybe tried

122
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: that ride, we'd gotten stuck. We did a roller coaster

123
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: later where we're sitting on strapped in waiting. It jerks

124
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: a little bit and then they make an announcement the

125
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: ride is being closed for maintenance. But yeah, we got

126
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: into another line for another roller coaster and they shut

127
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: that one down. We just had a bad day. Yeah,

128
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: so yeah, So no, I hadn't gotten stuck, but I

129
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: guess those were some close calls. It feels like Final Destination,

130
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: you know those movies, right like it was my time. Yes,

131
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: I avoided it, so it's coming. But to your point,

132
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: the one I don't like the upside down ones.

133
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah they're scary, but I do like them. But I

134
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: have always had that thought the scary when I've been

135
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: on I don't know if anyone has been overseas to

136
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: any amusement park, but I don't know if they have

137
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: the same standards, and it just makes me nervous. I

138
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: have my daughter always trying to convince me to go

139
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 2: on the scariest upside down ride, and eventually I always

140
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: weigh in, so or give in and say fine, I'll

141
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: do it. But this some I'm sure many of you

142
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: have seen what happened. It was last week, correct in

143
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: right outside of Portland, Oregon, and these I think it

144
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: was almost thirty people were on a very scary ride

145
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: and it swings and you go upside down. I think

146
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: you can do like a one to eighty or three sixty.

147
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: You have your choice of just how scary you want

148
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: it to be. But the ride malfunctioned right at the

149
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: top with twenty eight thirty people just suspended upside down

150
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: for almost thirty minutes. That might not people like, oh

151
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: it was thirty minutes, you know, that probably felt like

152
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: thirty years, and you don't know if you're gonna get

153
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: rescued in a safe manner.

154
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: High up in the air. Were they on this one?

155
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I saw the video and it

156
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: looked like hundreds of feet or at least, Yeah, it

157
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: was up there.

158
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: It was high, so I think it was at the top.

159
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: So two of the people who were on there, everybody

160
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: got oh, should say that everybody got off, no injuries,

161
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: the fire department came. Everybody got down eventually, but I

162
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: can't imagine the trauma of those thirty minutes. They have

163
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: a story to tell now, and they're here to tell

164
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: it to us. Yes, two people who were dangling upside

165
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: down are now back on their feet and sitting very

166
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: safely and comfortably at their home. They're joining us now,

167
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: all the way from Portland. Jordan Arding and Daniel Allen,

168
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: teenagers here who liked the ride. Amusement park rides. So, Jordan,

169
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: tell me now, what's you're feeling about amusement park rides

170
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: these days?

171
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 4: Definitely different than before. I used to love amusement parks.

172
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: I like wasn't I would go on any ride. I

173
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 4: wasn't scared, like obviously you're like a little bit like nervous,

174
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 4: but used to go on it like there's not previous

175
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: to this, there wasn't a ride that I was ever like,

176
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: oh no, you're never gonna catch me on that. But

177
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 4: definitely after this experience, it's a little different. You definitely

178
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: have a lack of trust with how safe it is

179
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: and everything.

180
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: That makes sense. Daniel, how about you?

181
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 5: I would say that, like, yeah, I'm a big thrill

182
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: seeker for rides before, but I feel like after I've

183
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: understood what being suspended upside down on a ride, you

184
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 5: notice that these malfunctions can really happen to anybody, and

185
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 5: especially a ride like this has put a lot of

186
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: like fear and my are about more upside down rides,

187
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 5: but I'd like to say I still go on some

188
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 5: in the future because I feel like rides are just awesome.

189
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: He's seventeen, by the way.

190
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there it is that I mentioned, But but

191
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: you said this ride it fear is in the name, right,

192
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: isn't it? Gold Atmosphere is the name, and you will

193
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: help us with the description a little bit.

194
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: It go.

195
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: It takes you hundreds of feet in the air. You're

196
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: essentially in a chair seated position. You're locked in, but

197
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: it's spinning everybody around and around while it's going up

198
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: and down.

199
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: Do I have it right? You will? It just makes

200
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 3: you want to make sure set the scene.

201
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a swinging pendulum, so like in the middle,

202
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 5: like it just kind of goes like swinging, and like

203
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 5: the entire thing in the bottoms also spinning, so it's

204
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 5: like it's consistently moving the entire ride, and then like

205
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 5: and how the machine works is like since it swings

206
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: up and down, up and down, once it gets to

207
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 5: a certain height where it hits like like where it

208
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 5: likes trying to go upside down, it's kind of just

209
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 5: like gravity that moves it, like pushes it. Like there's

210
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: no motor making it go around and around. There's just

211
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 5: a motor that's like keeps it like to like swinging

212
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: back and forth. But once it goes upside down, the

213
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 5: reason I got even stuck was because the balance of

214
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: it was perfectly balanced upside down, and that's why it happened.

215
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: It lost momentum. Wow that's crazy, Okay, Oh wow, I did.

216
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that either. So I would like to

217
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: know at what point, Jordan, I mean it for you

218
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 2: might think, oh, we're a little stuck. People might have

219
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: even had a nervous laughter, like oh okay, we're gonna

220
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: be moving again soon, and then you don't move. At

221
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: what point were you actually afraid? Jordan?

222
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 6: Okay?

223
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: So I mean it is meant to stop for a second,

224
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: so like you don't really even think anything of it.

225
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 6: You like close your.

226
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: Eyes and you like grab on your seat, so it's

227
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: like a few seconds, like three seconds, five seconds.

228
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 6: Whatever, because that's it's meant to stop. You don't really

229
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 6: panic at first.

230
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 4: It's just supposed to give you that like heart drop

231
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: to your stomach feeling of like oh it stuck, but

232
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 4: it's not, you know. So you're sitting there for like

233
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: three seconds, and then you wait for it to drop

234
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 4: and it doesn't see you wait for like fifteen seconds,

235
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 4: and I think at like fifteen seconds I realized I

236
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: was like, oh, this isn't right. But I wasn't like

237
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 4: panicking yet. I was like, okay, like it's just gonna

238
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: sings back down.

239
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 6: It's fine.

240
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: But then it's like one minute and then it's three

241
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: minutes and it just keeps going on. But I think

242
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 4: I started panicking at like I definitely knew something was

243
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: wrong I like fifteen seconds, but then like I don't

244
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 4: think I started panicking for like a minute, and then

245
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: at like three minutes, I'm like actually like concerned, you

246
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: know what I mean.

247
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: And again you just said you knew if it's designed

248
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: to stop, but you knew something was wrong after fifteen seconds,

249
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: So for either one of you all hear how it

250
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: was that quick, even you said fifteen. Okay, we're twenty seconds. Now,

251
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: we're thirty seconds. Hmmm, we're forty five second. Was it

252
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: that clear to you all? Had you written it before

253
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: to know that, okay.

254
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: Something's up?

255
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we've both written it before, not like together

256
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 4: the same day or anything. We've just previously ridden the

257
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: ride like separately.

258
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 6: But once, I mean, you know, it's meant to it's

259
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 6: not even meant to really stop.

260
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 4: It's supposed to be rotating on its axis still at

261
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: the top, like it's supposed to be spinning while you're

262
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 4: upside down, and then that's how it gets the momental

263
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: to swing back downs because the way like disproportionates or

264
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: whatever and swings back down. But it was all kids

265
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: on the ride because there was a eighth grade celebration

266
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: for Portland Public School happening, So we were like the

267
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: oldest people on the ride, and like the young these

268
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: people were like fourteen, so like averagely, we were all

269
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 4: about the same size, you know what I mean. So

270
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 4: it literally just perfectly gravitized upside down.

271
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, so you knew something was wrong after the

272
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: first minute, basically, did you go into a full panic mode?

273
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: What were other people doing? I read. Tell me if

274
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: this is true that people not only were screaming, crying,

275
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: but actually vomiting. I mean, can you give us an

276
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,119
Speaker 2: idea of what was happening and how it progressed?

277
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 5: That kind of happened like a few minutes in. I

278
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 5: can't tell you about the kid that vomited. I don't

279
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 5: know how because he projected out vomited all over himself,

280
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: not even upside down, Like how do you do it

281
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 5: on yourself when you're upside down?

282
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 7: So that was a little confusing. So I don't know

283
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 7: when he threw on himself.

284
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he pop during working.

285
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 7: I was like, he's probably threw upon himself.

286
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 4: I was swinging, But yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say

287
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: either of us went too like a panic attack, but

288
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 4: you know, you're definitely panicked. People were passing out, Like

289
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: you said, people threw up. It's just like, I'm sure

290
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 4: if we had been upside down much longer, we would

291
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: have thrown up.

292
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 6: I mean, and then a lot, I mean, not even

293
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 6: a lot longer.

294
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: Shortly after shortly after that, Oh my gosh, I'm sure

295
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: we would have passed out. Because you're not your body's

296
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: not designed.

297
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 6: To be held like that.

298
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 4: Like you can't even breathe because of the way that

299
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: the harness is pressing on you and all the weight

300
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 4: is in your shoulders and chest. Like I did not

301
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: throw up, but I was definitely like gagging and gasping

302
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 4: for air towards the end.

303
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: Could you all tell everybody was struggling the way you

304
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: all were physically? And again y'all talk about kids, like,

305
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: I guess they had to be parents or somebody trying

306
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: to keep them calm.

307
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had actually to keep some kids calm, and

308
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 5: like everybody, I tried to lead a prayer for everybody around.

309
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 5: But like you could definitely tell how lots of kids

310
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 5: were like freaking out. Even I was freaking out. It's

311
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 5: not like I could just handle that normally I was

312
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 5: suspended upside down on a ride. But yeah, there was

313
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: people struggling in pain. Definitely physically because those restraints on

314
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 5: you are pushing all against your like physical like arteries,

315
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 5: like your like main arteries all next to your like

316
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 5: hip and all that. So like when I came down,

317
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: it was really hard on my bladder and like everything

318
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 5: because those are like there's a lot of nerve damage

319
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 5: definitely after the ride. But you could tell people were

320
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: like in pain. There wasn't, but there was definitely some

321
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 5: people like taking it very calm. I would say, like,

322
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 5: I remember some person sitting next to her was just

323
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 5: like completely quiet the entire time, Like nuh.

324
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 7: I was like, what, Like, how are you just quiet?

325
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 7: We are upside down? Like I wish I could have

326
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 7: been like that.

327
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 4: I even like tried to talk to her. I was like,

328
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: are you how are you so calm right now? And

329
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 4: she she literally told me she's inn eighth grader er,

330
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: She's about to go into her freshman year summer after

331
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 4: her it's good year, And she was like, well, why

332
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: would I be freaking out if there's nothing we can do.

333
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, because we're upside out.

334
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: I mean that's incredible. I would have been freaking out.

335
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: I mean the blood even rushing to your head. I

336
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: was imagining how did it feel? I mean, you guys

337
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: were describing it was hard to breathe because the way

338
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: you have to be strapped in to be securely riding

339
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: that ride. How did yeah, the blood rushing to your head?

340
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: Like did it even? Was it even confusing at some

341
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: point mentally because all the blood's going into your head.

342
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, definitely. I just remember my head feeling

343
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: like foggy, like you can't even really think, you know

344
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 4: what I mean, especially after so long, You're just like

345
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: get me down, Like that's really all you can think

346
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 4: is like I need to get down because you like

347
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: really go into like a fight or flight almost because

348
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 4: like I mean, you can't fight.

349
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: Or li though, neither option available to you, which is

350
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: very frustrating and scary. Were they talking, I know they

351
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: had like a megaphone. What were they saying to you?

352
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: Did it help? Did it make you all feel better?

353
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: I mean they had megaphones, but we like could not

354
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 4: really we heard them, but it was really hard to

355
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 4: understand what they were saying and the things they were saying.

356
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: It was just like okay because they were just saying like, oh,

357
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 4: take deep breaths and everything.

358
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 5: I'm like, like I cannot take an aps, like I

359
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 5: am restrained here. I'm sorry, but maybe you could take

360
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 5: the deep breath for me because I was. I was

361
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 5: druggling already, have asthma.

362
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: Oh hell, you don't tell how high up you're at

363
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: the top of the ride, ninety nine feet up so

364
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: you all can see could you see a crowd gathering

365
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: down below. It just you all became a spectacle.

366
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, people are like literally you just look down

367
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: and you see like a block of phones recording you.

368
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: Wow, everyone's down below looking up at you with their

369
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: phones recording.

370
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 4: Whining and like laughing and telling their friends like literally laughing.

371
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 6: I don't like you can hear them.

372
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: Did did you all have your phones on you? Or No?

373
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 6: You didn't have If we did, everyone not have phones anymore,

374
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 6: you would.

375
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: Have dropped them.

376
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, did anyone have their phone up there?

377
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 6: No?

378
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: The only thing that someone had was a stopwatch, and

379
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 4: they recorded how long that we were up there.

380
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 7: That's it in time, thirty six minutes, thirty sixth Oh,

381
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 7: can you.

382
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: Take me through the progression of how it feels to

383
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: be held upside down for thirty minutes? Like after five

384
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: you start feeling this? After ten, can you kind of

385
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: just progress to where it got I assume it had

386
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: to get to a point that you thought the pain

387
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: was at some point going to be unbearable.

388
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 5: Definitely, Like, like I remember the first minute, I was

389
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 5: just like completely fine, like everything. You're just like very

390
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 5: confused on what's going on. But like going through the minutes,

391
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 5: like five minutes in, I would definitely like my head

392
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 5: started to feel lightheaded. You start to feel a blood

393
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 5: kind of rushing to that part of your body. No

394
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 5: like pain in my body yet, but like I could

395
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 5: tell like I was using a lot of muscles and like, yeah,

396
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 5: definitely trying to keep myself up and like breathing. But

397
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 5: like ten minutes in, my legs are starting to feel

398
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 5: a little numb buzzing, and my like deep breathing is

399
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 5: like starting to get heavier and heavier. And I would say,

400
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 5: like fifteen minutes in, I'm definitely like struggling and everything,

401
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 5: and you start to feel parts of your body like

402
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 5: go numb, and like when you're like twenty minutes in,

403
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 5: I mean like your entire body is like almost like

404
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 5: numb up to like where like there are strain is

405
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 5: like to your shoulders, to your hips and everything, and

406
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 5: you're just like struggling to breathe, and you just keep

407
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 5: like thinking and saying things to like keep yourself awake

408
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 5: and going what.

409
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: Were those things that you were saying? Both maybe both

410
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: of you and you all were sitting you or next

411
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: to each other, you could communicate together easily. But you said, Dan,

412
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: you said kind of just start talking to yourself. What

413
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: were you saying to YOUSEA.

414
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 5: Well, I was kind of just like I'm gonna be fine,

415
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 5: Like I'm like, I'm gonna get back down with my family,

416
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 5: Like I need to see my family, this is all

417
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 5: of them. I kind of started having a conversation with

418
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 5: Jordan and me and her were talking about like school

419
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 5: and like how it was and like everything, trying to

420
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 5: be like, yeah, it was pretty far in school.

421
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,239
Speaker 7: I actually really enjoyed it. But I'm upside down right now.

422
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 7: But I'm just letting you know I really did have

423
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 7: a good time this year in school.

424
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: Trying to take your mind off things, Jordan were at

425
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: any point, you know, did your mind go to a

426
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 2: dark place like We're not going to get down to

427
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: pass out. I'm not gonna make it.

428
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like almost immediately, that's where your mind goes

429
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: because you see on the news. You never think it's

430
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: gonna be you, but like when you're in that situation,

431
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: that's there's no other place for your mind.

432
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 2: So what thoughts, So what did your mind do when

433
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: you so, yes, I can imagine I would have gone

434
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 2: to that same dark place like I'm gonna die up here.

435
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what what did you think? And has

436
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 2: that changed how you live now? Having had those real

437
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 2: thoughts that death was possible, maybe even probably definitely.

438
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I mean I don't know how like realistic

439
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 4: this is, but I was just scared that, like the

440
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 4: sense the machine malfunctioned. I was scared that the harnesses

441
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: were gonna like unlatch and we were all just literally

442
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: gonna like fall and pancake or our dive, even though

443
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 4: there is like a seatbelt strap that like buckles at

444
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: the bottom. So like hypothetically, if it did like unlock

445
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: or whatever, we would still be held in it would

446
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: just definitely not be as sturdy or whatever. But yeah,

447
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: I definitely was scared for my life.

448
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: But I'm sorry, Well, I was wondering, once you have

449
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: that real fear and it's based in truth, I mean,

450
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that. What you just said,

451
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 2: that maybe the harnesses could unlock a bit malfunctioned in

452
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: one way, Why wouldn't it just malfunction in every way?

453
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: So that Wow, that's very scary. But now that you're

454
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: back down on Tara Firma on on on solid Earth,

455
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: have has that experience changed how you operate how you live.

456
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you remember that feeling of I didn't get

457
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 2: to do this. What if I never get to do that?

458
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: All those things start, you know, just washing over your brain.

459
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 2: Has it changed how you live?

460
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

461
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 7: Oh no, you some yeah in some ways definitely.

462
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 5: Like when I got down, I definitely like was very emotional,

463
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 5: like you kind of like break down. You don't break

464
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 5: down in tears, but you break down like this, like

465
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 5: you just like kind of feel like relief.

466
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 7: Like the biggest relief you've probably ever felt in your life.

467
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 3: I don't.

468
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 7: I don't think I've ever felt like that.

469
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 5: And once I was finally down, I was like just

470
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 5: sitting down and I was like kind of like like

471
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 5: not like crying, but I was like like kind of

472
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 5: like whatever that deep pant whatever you get into and

473
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 5: like where you're just like you're really happier down, and

474
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 5: I started like realizing how happy it is to be

475
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 5: like living, Like I mean, to think you had a

476
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 5: thought of death and now you're alive.

477
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 7: It's crazy.

478
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: They keep going like you, I don't think I've ever

479
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: had a thought that I was ever going to die

480
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 5: in my life like that, and then knowing that I

481
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 5: lived it, it is just yeah, it definitely keeps your

482
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 5: mind thinking like, wow, how important life is?

483
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: Sure you mentioned thirty six minutes, right, that's the official

484
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: count with the stop Watch, right that's uh, yeah, that's

485
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: but it was about thirty minutes. And in that where

486
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: did hope start coming in? Based on what you were

487
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: seeing below, like activity, if you saw a fire truck

488
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: or firefighters or where did some hope start to creep in?

489
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 5: I would say definitely, Like I only had hope at

490
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 5: the start of the ride. When we came by the

491
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 5: fire department came, like I had no hope because like

492
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 5: I'm just like watching them and they come in and

493
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 5: they're just slowly walking and they're not even.

494
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 7: And I'm like, come on, guys, this is our rus.

495
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: Get me down.

496
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: I said, they're not even Yeah, I ers said, they're

497
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 5: not even like working on the machine. It was actually

498
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 5: the maintenance cre at Oaks Park. So I'm like, what

499
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 5: even is this fire department doing? Like, I'm like, why

500
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 5: is the maintenance at Oaks Park working on it? So

501
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 5: I guess actually the maintenance guys that Oaks Park took

502
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 5: us down. They actually figured out later and all the

503
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 5: fire department was there for is for like when we

504
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 5: got down, like to like do a check up on

505
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 5: us and everything, and if that they didn't get us down,

506
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 5: they were gonna take us down with ropes, I guess

507
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 5: I heard. I'm like, with ropes? How do they strap

508
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 5: you out of harness and take you out of a rope?

509
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: Like?

510
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 7: What are they?

511
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: You've seen that in movies? I think I don't think

512
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: they do it in real life.

513
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: I cannot even imagine how that was.

514
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 6: And we didn't learn that until like days later.

515
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: Actually, Wow, when you were up there, I was fascinated.

516
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 2: You said some people did pass out you thought you

517
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: were getting close to it. How many, like how many

518
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: people passed out while they were up there?

519
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 7: I would say in probably like six five people and

520
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 7: not a ton.

521
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 5: There was someone, well, there was one person with a

522
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 5: big medical problem that did pass out and they were

523
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 5: like rushed to the the hospital.

524
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is amazing. Everyone everyone was okay, do

525
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: you all did you did you have a group hug

526
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: afterwards like you all got down. Was there a moment

527
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: where you guys just got to take it in together

528
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 2: as a group. Did you get anyone's phone numbers? Lifelong friends?

529
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 2: I don't know, just having the shared experience.

530
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 7: Sadly, No, they were like all very very young kids.

531
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 5: There was young one kid I gave a hug too,

532
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 5: but like some of the kids up on the ride,

533
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie, like they were pretty interesting students,

534
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 5: like I remember. I remember I got down and like

535
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 5: we're like all still like kind of like feeling relief.

536
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 5: And this one kid's just like standing in the corner

537
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 5: like and like she says something like to our friend.

538
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 5: She's like, he's like, wait, you're fourteen because the kid

539
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 5: looks like he's like, I'm sorry, he looks like he's

540
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 5: eight years old. And her friend's like, shut up up

541
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 5: and like gets all mad in her face. I'm like,

542
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 5: what else you're proby guys.

543
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 4: Like okay, not to be disrespectful by any means. But

544
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 4: he was so sure, like he was little. So I

545
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 4: told him, I was like, oh my gosh, like are

546
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 4: you okay? Like you're little, Like are you okay? And

00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 4: he's like I'm fourteen. Oh, He's like, oh he's fourteen,

548
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 4: so you can just shut up.

549
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: Wow. So there wasn't a camaraderie or a spirit of

550
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: thank god we all got through this together. Wow. Quite

551
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 2: the going to check on him.

552
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: I was trying to yell.

553
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: Came down and hated each other. Give me away from

554
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: these people.

555
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: Beer brings out the best and worst in people, apparently.

556
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 3: Well, how did they think?

557
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: You said? The maintenance folks got it down, so they

558
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: essentially got the ride operating again, right, and you know

559
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: how did it go?

560
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: How did it work?

561
00:24:59,600 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 6: No?

562
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 4: I mean essentially they kind of just like took a

563
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 4: big crowbar, I guess, and pushed it so it swung back.

564
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 6: Down, I.

565
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: Know, but it ended up going back to it's the

566
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: position it was in when you first boarded, right.

567
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it had to we had to finish the ride.

568
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 6: It just it swung until it's.

569
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: Oh you ride the ride after that?

570
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: How fun? Was that?

571
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 5: Not?

572
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 4: Great?

573
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 6: The best way to come down?

574
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: Did did they let you all know that? Wait? Say

575
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: that again?

576
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: No?

577
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 3: No, what did you say, Daniel?

578
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 7: I said?

579
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 5: I was feeling the thrill seek of the ride again.

580
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 5: I was screaming and cheering.

581
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we were screaming and cheering because we were

582
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 6: gonna live.

583
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Did they let you all know what the bullhorns that

584
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: that was the plan or the machine or just started

585
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: moving again? And y'all didn't know if you were actually

586
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: going down or it's gonna break again or what right?

587
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, we didn't know that we were gonna

588
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 4: be okay and that women was going to be fixed

589
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 4: until you feel it like click into moving, Like I remember,

590
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 4: we start moving and I literally like broke down, but

591
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 4: you're so dehydrated, and then like dran, there's no tears.

592
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 6: You're just like like relieved, Yes, so relieved you're gonna

593
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 6: like live.

594
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always curious in situations like this, there's

595
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: always one class clown. Was anybody up there cracking jokes

596
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: or trying to keep everybody loose or anything like that.

597
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 5: No, everybody was pretty straight face serious. They getting next

598
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 5: to me though, he was like he was like, you

599
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 5: look a lot like my friend, and he like started

600
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 5: telling me everything about his friend and kind of just

601
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 5: like talking. Everybody I think was talking to each other.

602
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 5: I think the kid that was did throw up on himself.

603
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 5: I heard some jokes get made about him, because how

604
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 5: do you project awl vomit.

605
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 7: All over yourself? I'm pretty interested in that, Like.

606
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 4: Imagine we're upside down right now, like we're looking at

607
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 4: the ground and he vomits on himself, Like, how.

608
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: Did that work with gravity? How did that work?

609
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 4: Correct?

610
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense, but thank god it didn't

611
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: get on anyone else. Uh, were you guys immediately able

612
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 2: to call your parents? And what was that like when

613
00:26:59,400 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: you got down?

614
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 5: I had immediately called my mom And even when she

615
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 5: called her parents, parents actually didn't really have crazy if

616
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 5: a reaction.

617
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 7: They were like, you're alive, I'm glad, and then that

618
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 7: was pretty much like it was like, it's like, lukey

619
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 7: did not care. I'm like our siblings, like she told

620
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 7: her brother, and her brother's like, you know, you're still alive. Okay,

621
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 7: why should I be worried about you?

622
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 6: Okay?

623
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: But they give you a little more grace once they

624
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: saw the video and know how big of a story.

625
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: No still now, no, really they did not care.

626
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, have been suspended upside down.

627
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 6: Like you go sad down and see how it is?

628
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: Well, I only I only have a couple more things here.

629
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: One is something you said earlier, Daniel. You said you

630
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: you wanted to say a prayer or you wanted to

631
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: include anybody while you were up there that maybe wanted

632
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: to be involved and just saying a prayer. What why

633
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: did your I don't know your background, how you were

634
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: raised in the church and everything else. But but why

635
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: was that something you went towards for for or for

636
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: I guess for comfort at the time. And what was

637
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: that prayer?

638
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: Well, I think I went towards it for comfort because

639
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 5: even when a lot of people are in like tough

640
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 5: like stress situations, they don't even some people don't might

641
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: not even believe in God. But putting your hope in

642
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 5: the littlest things when you're in a tough position, even

643
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 5: just like God is like a good thing. And I

644
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 5: don't even have a strong background as God, but I

645
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 5: know even saying like something that I can put my

646
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 5: hope into does give me the littlest of hope. And

647
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 5: I definitely that like sees meeting throughout people. I'd say,

648
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 5: and what was what was the rest of your question?

649
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: You said, well, no, no, what the prayer was.

650
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 5: Oh the prayer. The prayer was just like saying like,

651
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 5: we're all going to get through this. You know, this

652
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 5: is these are like a tough this is like a

653
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 5: tough time. We are dangling up in the air kind

654
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 5: of just like saying like what we're going through, but

655
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 5: we are going to make it through. And relieving, like

656
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 5: all of your stress, and I kind of like let

657
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 5: the kid next to me speak, you know, say what

658
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 5: he wanted to say, and I kind of just left

659
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 5: it off with amen. And I don't know how many

660
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 5: people followed around like around because I can't see everybody,

661
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 5: but I don't know how many people held hands together.

662
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 5: But I did try to hold hands with Jordan and

663
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 5: the kid next to me, and anythink he held hands

664
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 5: with the kid beside him.

665
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: That's so beautiful that I'm sure had to give so

666
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: much comfort to people, especially the younger kids who were

667
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: around you, who I'm sure were incredibly scared. So that

668
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: was so kind of you, and that's a beautiful thing

669
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: that came out of it. I love that you did that.

670
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 7: Thank you.

671
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: I would love to know what your takeaway is from

672
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: all of this, Jordan, Do you have a takeaway?

673
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 7: Oh?

674
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 6: I have a takeaway.

675
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: I just don't know if I can really trust those

676
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: rides anymore. Like, honestly, you will not catch me on then,

677
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 4: at least anytime soon, maybe not ever. It's just you

678
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 4: think you're gonna be so safe and then when you're not,

679
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 4: Like that's just kind of a trust. You can't really

680
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: gain back in my opinion, you know what I mean, Like,

681
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 4: I truly feared for my life in that moment one

682
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 4: and I don't want.

683
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 6: To go through that again.

684
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: Daniel.

685
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 5: I'd say my takeaway is probably definitely like, know what

686
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 5: you're getting yourself into.

687
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 7: You can't trust every ride you're about to go on to.

688
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 7: There's a I mean, it's.

689
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 5: Called astro fear. It says fear in the name, So

690
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 5: maybe you should listen a little more to the finance

691
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 5: what this ride might be getting you into. But I

692
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 5: definitely would say trust what you're going on. Know what

693
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 5: you're getting yourself into. It's not always the safest option.

694
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 5: Even when you go to have a fun day, you

695
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 5: don't you don't know, something could malfunction. I think it's

696
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 5: perfect in this world. There's problems, definitely, and they need

697
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 5: to get fixed.

698
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 6: It was our first ride of the day too. We

699
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: had just got to the park.

700
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: It was opening day too, correct, it was. It was

701
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: brand new for the season.

702
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Oaks Ride, I think Oaks Park is the

703
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 1: name of the amusement park. They call you guys up

704
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we're going to be reopening the ride atmosphere.

705
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a big celebration, and we want you

706
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: to to be the first too, to take a ride

707
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: as we reopen. Would you do I'd be like.

708
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 7: Did y'all?

709
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 3: Fix?

710
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 7: Says right, I'm looking down.

711
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: Jordan. I saw you shaking your head violently.

712
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 6: No, oh, absolutely not.

713
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: I mean I'm just I'm good on carnival rides and

714
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 4: all of that for right now. I mean, like you

715
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: could catch me in Disneyland, because that's like not scary,

716
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 4: that's just fun, big like thrill seeking rides like that,

717
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 4: like the pure adrenaline rush rides. I'm okay for a

718
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 4: while at least, like even like carnivals and county fairs

719
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 4: and everything, Like I think I'm okay.

720
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 5: You know.

721
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: I think that's a good policy, uh, Jordan, and I

722
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: am on board with that. But think it's good to

723
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: see you all on on solid ground.

724
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 3: You're sitting.

725
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: We we were gonna turn this uh we could see

726
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: you on the screen here. We're gonna turn it upside

727
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: down to try to get a good vantage point of

728
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: you tube from how it was. But it's good ride,

729
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: and really it's to be honest with you, you never

730
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: know where you're gonna find wisdom. I find wisdom sometimes

731
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: can passed for your old kid. He might say something

732
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: on the street here in New York. But you two

733
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: are young, your teenagers, seventeen and eighteen. But you all

734
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: said several things along the way that we were very

735
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: mature that all of us can take away with us.

736
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: And I'm just very impressed that had you all handled

737
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: yourselves during it, and how you're handling yourselves now, and

738
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: just the composure and for you, Daniel, to go up

739
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: there and try to comfort others, comfort kids that were

740
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: younger than you got just I just think it's huge,

741
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: and you will sound very mature and to have turned

742
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: something now it'll impact your lives. But you all said

743
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: a few things here that that are worth repeating, and

744
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of more people are going to hear it.

745
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: So I just want to commend you both for being

746
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: the kids you are.

747
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 7: Thank you very much.

748
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: Thank you all well, Daniel and Jordan I helpe you

749
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: have a peaceful rest of your summer, and thank you

750
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: for being on the podcast with us. And we're just

751
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: so glad you and everyone else was safe.

752
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you, Yes, Sam, guys for you, thank you

753
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 7: they were great.

754
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: Really, that was I love it. I didn't realize initially

755
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: that they were seventeen and eighteen, and there was a

756
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: there's a youth, there was a although there's something to the

757
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: way they have lived life and see life coming that

758
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: I think makes them the perfect most qualified people to

759
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: get stuck. I would not have handled myself that well.

760
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: I would not have handled myself as well either, and

761
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: I don't care how I would tears definitely would have

762
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: been flowing. I would have probably gone into full panic.

763
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, and I think maybe that that when you're

764
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: that age, you do feel indestructible and you don't think

765
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: bad things are going to happen. So when something bad happens,

766
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: they were able to take that positive, youthful energy and

767
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: turn it into something good for everyone around there.

768
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, this park did not have thirty forty year

769
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: olds up.

770
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: There in a death spiral up.

771
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: There's no way we would have tore that park up

772
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: after we got that, But congrats to them for it,

773
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: and again everybody was Okay, these things do happen from

774
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: time to time, and who knows why, they'll do their

775
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: investigation and all that, but glad to.

776
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: See them down all right, Well, thank you all for listening.

777
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 2: Hope you got some great nuggets out of their youthful wisdom.

778
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: We certainly did, so have a wonderful day, and we'll

779
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 2: see you soon
