WEBVTT - Stuck In the AtmosFEAR 0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:06.160 Hey, that, folks, some of the biggest fears people have 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.799 our fear of heights. They also have a fear of 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.480 roller coaster. But what if you put those two things together. 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:17.919 Well, most people who are afraid of heights probably don't 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:18.720 go on roller coasts. 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:19.400 Well that's the thing. 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.960 I would argue that maybe that that's the place they 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.520 feel safest. Well, they not hate everybody. Welcome to this 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.920 episode of Amy and TJ. But yes, that is one 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:31.280 of the A lot of people will tell you they 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:35.159 have a fear of heights, but I have. I'm not 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.159 a big fan of heights at all, but I love 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:37.760 a roller coaster. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:39.840 Yeah, you're right. I was just thinking about that because 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.800 when we were dangling off of the edge, you were 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.239 genuinely like it, very much afraid, but you had roller. 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.519 Coasters, roller coasters, and you know, I even enjoy it. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.599 And folks don't know the edge here in New York, 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:50.680 how many heights? 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:52.839 How many floors up? Is it? 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:57.400 They built it here in Midtown? Yeah, one hundred stories, right, 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.160 so they did? They have this attraction. Now you can 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.639 go up on the side of a building and they 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.040 strap you in. We did this on live TV, and 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.960 you lot to really lean out over New York City, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.960 over Manhattan, completely dangling. 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.920 My favorite thing was so we did this together, and 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.520 we did it on live television. But TJ he was 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.600 a good sport because he did it despite his fear. 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.759 But my favorite part of it is that you were 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.120 like bending your knees and trying not to lean as 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.360 much as if that was going to save you if 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.840 some of the equipment malfunctions. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.119 Well you didn't hear the safety briefing because they said 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:35.640 just bend your knees and you'll be okay. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.800 Right then you'll just be able to sit back and 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:38.840 you won't fall forward. 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:43.000 No, it's it was terrified. It's hard to trust an apparatus. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.640 It's hard to trust that this thing is going to hold. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.200 But roller coasters, as a kid, from a kid level, 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:50.040 absolutely loveable. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.080 Well, I've always been a believer. If you're getting on 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.600 an airplane, or you're even getting in a vehicle, or 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.960 you're getting into anything where there's some sort of potential 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.120 for accent, you kind of have to trust the vehicle, 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.600 trust the system, trust the harnesses. Yes they can be 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.320 checked in double check, but at a certain point you 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.440 have to suspend fear and just trust that things are 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.160 going to work the way they're. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.440 Supposed to, okay, and sometimes they don't. You all see 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.680 stories over the years, There's been plenty of stories. Now unfortunately, 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.200 there have been tragedies at amusement parks over the years 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:24.080 where people have died on rides from a malfunction or 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.040 something has happened. But more often than that, we do 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:32.280 see video of rides and people getting stuck on those 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.839 rides at amusement park. That seems like it happens kind 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:36.480 of a lot lot. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.360 Do that go through your mind because we have been 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.440 on rides together, Does that ever go through your mind 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.639 when you're on the ride? What would happen. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.800 If I come up with a plan for myself it 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.359 doesn't work. You know what I get more worried about 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.600 is ride in the subway I do. I'll go on 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.720 the subway and I know the exits, how many people 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.120 are here, that guy's wearing that coat. This person's probably 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.560 a bigger threat. I do that on a train, ye 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:58.280 on a subway. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.320 There are so many places where you could beach wrapped 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.720 and it would be scary and having a plan is 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:03.680 actually really smart. 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.560 But the but as far as rollercoasters. 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.600 Go or yeah, what would your plan be? 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.240 I have always thought, well, if it gets stuck here, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.360 am I able to climb down? I always think can I? 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.160 Because most you're not supposed to be able to get 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.560 out of those because they lock you in right right, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.639 that's a safety thing because they don't want people jumping out. 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.880 Correct. Yeah, I'm looking for falling out. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.040 Yes there is that. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.240 But I'm looking for ay through. I guess gain the set. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:30.760 But it does doesn't seem like over the years we 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.480 see a bunch of stores. Maybe it's not that many, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:33.440 but well, let's just. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.640 We worked in morning television that was like, other than 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:41.200 a shark attack, a malfunctioning ride with video to a company, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.880 it is like warning show of gold because everyone can 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.960 imagine what it would be like and it's scary, so 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.720 it's relatable immediately and people do exactly what you just said. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.800 Think about what would I do now all of those scenarios. 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.320 There could be a situation in which you could take action, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.000 But what happens if you're suspended upside down? 0:03:59.480 --> 0:03:59.600 Like? 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:00.600 What can you do? 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.360 Have you been stuck on a ride before? 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.400 I have never been stuck, thankful, and I ride a 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.120 lot of rides so my time could be coming. How 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:08.560 about you. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.320 It got stuck before we got in the middle of 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.320 the ride. This happened with Sabine. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.239 I don't know. It was a bad experience. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.440 At at at an amusement park to where we arrived. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.360 I was telling you this earlier we arrived. Ok, it 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.440 was a six Flags it's just still. It was the 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.080 Six Flags over Georgia, which was at the exit where 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.599 my house was located in Atlanta. So I passed this place. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.800 I had to pass it almost twice a day at least, 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.120 and never went. In seventeen years, not one time did 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.120 I visit the Six Flags over Georgia. Sabine and I finally, 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.520 let's just do it. This wasn't just a couple of 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:51.000 years ago maybe finally going. We were so excited, just 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.159 the two of us get out there. We're passing the 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.440 first set of rides, and you know the rides with 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.160 the swings, you just sit in the swing. It's kind 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.200 of chain and just go around. Simple but kind of thrilling. 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.919 And people were just dangling. The ride wasn't going, and 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.720 people's legs were just they were just there dangling. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:07.480 Twisting in the wind. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.200 They weren't twisting. They wish they were twisting. The ride 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.479 was stuck, We wanted to ride it. We kept going, 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.320 rode something that came back. It was still stuck, so 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.320 at least twenty minutes, so if we had maybe tried 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.359 that ride, we'd gotten stuck. We did a roller coaster 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.839 later where we're sitting on strapped in waiting. It jerks 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.640 a little bit and then they make an announcement the 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.160 ride is being closed for maintenance. But yeah, we got 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:36.040 into another line for another roller coaster and they shut 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.520 that one down. We just had a bad day. Yeah, 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.120 so yeah, So no, I hadn't gotten stuck, but I 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.720 guess those were some close calls. It feels like Final Destination, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.200 you know those movies, right like it was my time. Yes, 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:52.880 I avoided it, so it's coming. But to your point, 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.039 the one I don't like the upside down ones. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.120 Yeah they're scary, but I do like them. But I 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.520 have always had that thought the scary when I've been 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.640 on I don't know if anyone has been overseas to 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.320 any amusement park, but I don't know if they have 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.280 the same standards, and it just makes me nervous. I 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.800 have my daughter always trying to convince me to go 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.119 on the scariest upside down ride, and eventually I always 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.880 weigh in, so or give in and say fine, I'll 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.800 do it. But this some I'm sure many of you 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.919 have seen what happened. It was last week, correct in 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.600 right outside of Portland, Oregon, and these I think it 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.279 was almost thirty people were on a very scary ride 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.200 and it swings and you go upside down. I think 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.080 you can do like a one to eighty or three sixty. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.440 You have your choice of just how scary you want 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.280 it to be. But the ride malfunctioned right at the 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:46.599 top with twenty eight thirty people just suspended upside down 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.600 for almost thirty minutes. That might not people like, oh 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.599 it was thirty minutes, you know, that probably felt like 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.120 thirty years, and you don't know if you're gonna get 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.120 rescued in a safe manner. 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.000 High up in the air. Were they on this one? 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.240 I don't know, but I saw the video and it 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.600 looked like hundreds of feet or at least, Yeah, it 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:05.080 was up there. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.560 It was high, so I think it was at the top. 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.080 So two of the people who were on there, everybody 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.440 got oh, should say that everybody got off, no injuries, 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:17.080 the fire department came. Everybody got down eventually, but I 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.680 can't imagine the trauma of those thirty minutes. They have 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.720 a story to tell now, and they're here to tell 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.800 it to us. Yes, two people who were dangling upside 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.520 down are now back on their feet and sitting very 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.360 safely and comfortably at their home. They're joining us now, 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.840 all the way from Portland. Jordan Arding and Daniel Allen, 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:43.560 teenagers here who liked the ride. Amusement park rides. So, Jordan, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.200 tell me now, what's you're feeling about amusement park rides 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:47.160 these days? 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.600 Definitely different than before. I used to love amusement parks. 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.960 I like wasn't I would go on any ride. I 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.720 wasn't scared, like obviously you're like a little bit like nervous, 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.239 but used to go on it like there's not previous 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:03.840 to this, there wasn't a ride that I was ever like, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.160 oh no, you're never gonna catch me on that. But 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.960 definitely after this experience, it's a little different. You definitely 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.000 have a lack of trust with how safe it is 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:13.880 and everything. 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:15.800 That makes sense. Daniel, how about you? 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.440 I would say that, like, yeah, I'm a big thrill 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.280 seeker for rides before, but I feel like after I've 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.400 understood what being suspended upside down on a ride, you 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.640 notice that these malfunctions can really happen to anybody, and 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.160 especially a ride like this has put a lot of 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.480 like fear and my are about more upside down rides, 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.280 but I'd like to say I still go on some 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.439 in the future because I feel like rides are just awesome. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:42.880 He's seventeen, by the way. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.880 Yeah, yeah, there it is that I mentioned, But but 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.000 you said this ride it fear is in the name, right, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.000 isn't it? Gold Atmosphere is the name, and you will 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.440 help us with the description a little bit. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:53.760 It go. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.320 It takes you hundreds of feet in the air. You're 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:01.600 essentially in a chair seated position. You're locked in, but 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.600 it's spinning everybody around and around while it's going up 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:06.160 and down. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:07.960 Do I have it right? You will? It just makes 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.199 you want to make sure set the scene. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.920 Yeah, it's like a swinging pendulum, so like in the middle, 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.280 like it just kind of goes like swinging, and like 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.480 the entire thing in the bottoms also spinning, so it's 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.560 like it's consistently moving the entire ride, and then like 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.600 and how the machine works is like since it swings 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.160 up and down, up and down, once it gets to 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.960 a certain height where it hits like like where it 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.960 likes trying to go upside down, it's kind of just 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.680 like gravity that moves it, like pushes it. Like there's 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.920 no motor making it go around and around. There's just 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.440 a motor that's like keeps it like to like swinging 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.760 back and forth. But once it goes upside down, the 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.120 reason I got even stuck was because the balance of 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.000 it was perfectly balanced upside down, and that's why it happened. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.800 It lost momentum. Wow that's crazy, Okay, Oh wow, I did. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:57.280 I didn't realize that either. So I would like to 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.160 know at what point, Jordan, I mean it for you 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.079 might think, oh, we're a little stuck. People might have 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.360 even had a nervous laughter, like oh okay, we're gonna 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.000 be moving again soon, and then you don't move. At 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.760 what point were you actually afraid? Jordan? 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:11.679 Okay? 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.240 So I mean it is meant to stop for a second, 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.640 so like you don't really even think anything of it. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:17.240 You like close your. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.040 Eyes and you like grab on your seat, so it's 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.600 like a few seconds, like three seconds, five seconds. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.000 Whatever, because that's it's meant to stop. You don't really 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:24.880 panic at first. 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:26.760 It's just supposed to give you that like heart drop 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.000 to your stomach feeling of like oh it stuck, but 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.000 it's not, you know. So you're sitting there for like 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.160 three seconds, and then you wait for it to drop 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.760 and it doesn't see you wait for like fifteen seconds, 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:38.760 and I think at like fifteen seconds I realized I 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.880 was like, oh, this isn't right. But I wasn't like 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.680 panicking yet. I was like, okay, like it's just gonna 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:43.240 sings back down. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:44.360 It's fine. 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.920 But then it's like one minute and then it's three 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.160 minutes and it just keeps going on. But I think 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:54.560 I started panicking at like I definitely knew something was 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.880 wrong I like fifteen seconds, but then like I don't 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.959 think I started panicking for like a minute, and then 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.280 at like three minutes, I'm like actually like concerned, you 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:04.840 know what I mean. 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.520 And again you just said you knew if it's designed 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.720 to stop, but you knew something was wrong after fifteen seconds, 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.880 So for either one of you all hear how it 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.160 was that quick, even you said fifteen. Okay, we're twenty seconds. Now, 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.840 we're thirty seconds. Hmmm, we're forty five second. Was it 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.080 that clear to you all? Had you written it before 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.080 to know that, okay. 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:25.280 Something's up? 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.600 Oh yeah, we've both written it before, not like together 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.719 the same day or anything. We've just previously ridden the 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.880 ride like separately. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.080 But once, I mean, you know, it's meant to it's 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.040 not even meant to really stop. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.679 It's supposed to be rotating on its axis still at 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.640 the top, like it's supposed to be spinning while you're 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.839 upside down, and then that's how it gets the momental 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.040 to swing back downs because the way like disproportionates or 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.880 whatever and swings back down. But it was all kids 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.240 on the ride because there was a eighth grade celebration 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.680 for Portland Public School happening, So we were like the 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.360 oldest people on the ride, and like the young these 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.160 people were like fourteen, so like averagely, we were all 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.240 about the same size, you know what I mean. So 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.840 it literally just perfectly gravitized upside down. 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:22.000 Wow, Okay, so you knew something was wrong after the 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:26.840 first minute, basically, did you go into a full panic mode? 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.480 What were other people doing? I read. Tell me if 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.920 this is true that people not only were screaming, crying, 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:33.880 but actually vomiting. I mean, can you give us an 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.119 idea of what was happening and how it progressed? 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.040 That kind of happened like a few minutes in. I 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:42.880 can't tell you about the kid that vomited. I don't 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.800 know how because he projected out vomited all over himself, 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.360 not even upside down, Like how do you do it 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:49.959 on yourself when you're upside down? 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.560 So that was a little confusing. So I don't know 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:52.880 when he threw on himself. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.000 Maybe he pop during working. 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.079 I was like, he's probably threw upon himself. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.240 I was swinging, But yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.720 either of us went too like a panic attack, but 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.640 you know, you're definitely panicked. People were passing out, Like 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:14.160 you said, people threw up. It's just like, I'm sure 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:15.840 if we had been upside down much longer, we would 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:16.360 have thrown up. 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.120 I mean, and then a lot, I mean, not even 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:18.959 a lot longer. 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.240 Shortly after shortly after that, Oh my gosh, I'm sure 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.160 we would have passed out. Because you're not your body's 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:26.240 not designed. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:26.520 To be held like that. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.440 Like you can't even breathe because of the way that 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.120 the harness is pressing on you and all the weight 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.439 is in your shoulders and chest. Like I did not 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.800 throw up, but I was definitely like gagging and gasping 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.600 for air towards the end. 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.920 Could you all tell everybody was struggling the way you 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.480 all were physically? And again y'all talk about kids, like, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.920 I guess they had to be parents or somebody trying 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.160 to keep them calm. 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.960 Yeah, I had actually to keep some kids calm, and 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.440 like everybody, I tried to lead a prayer for everybody around. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.560 But like you could definitely tell how lots of kids 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.800 were like freaking out. Even I was freaking out. It's 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:57.560 not like I could just handle that normally I was 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.240 suspended upside down on a ride. But yeah, there was 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.960 people struggling in pain. Definitely physically because those restraints on 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.360 you are pushing all against your like physical like arteries, 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.439 like your like main arteries all next to your like 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.880 hip and all that. So like when I came down, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:15.800 it was really hard on my bladder and like everything 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.880 because those are like there's a lot of nerve damage 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.880 definitely after the ride. But you could tell people were 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.040 like in pain. There wasn't, but there was definitely some 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.080 people like taking it very calm. I would say, like, 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.280 I remember some person sitting next to her was just 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.320 like completely quiet the entire time, Like nuh. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.600 I was like, what, Like, how are you just quiet? 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.920 We are upside down? Like I wish I could have 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:35.440 been like that. 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:37.880 I even like tried to talk to her. I was like, 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.120 are you how are you so calm right now? And 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.880 she she literally told me she's inn eighth grader er, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.680 She's about to go into her freshman year summer after 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.800 her it's good year, And she was like, well, why 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.720 would I be freaking out if there's nothing we can do. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.080 I'm like, because we're upside out. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.000 I mean that's incredible. I would have been freaking out. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.840 I mean the blood even rushing to your head. I 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.520 was imagining how did it feel? I mean, you guys 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.080 were describing it was hard to breathe because the way 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.880 you have to be strapped in to be securely riding 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:07.080 that ride. How did yeah, the blood rushing to your head? 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.000 Like did it even? Was it even confusing at some 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.680 point mentally because all the blood's going into your head. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.360 I mean, yeah, definitely. I just remember my head feeling 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.720 like foggy, like you can't even really think, you know 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.200 what I mean, especially after so long, You're just like 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.000 get me down, Like that's really all you can think 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.480 is like I need to get down because you like 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.240 really go into like a fight or flight almost because 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:30.920 like I mean, you can't fight. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:36.080 Or li though, neither option available to you, which is 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.760 very frustrating and scary. Were they talking, I know they 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.840 had like a megaphone. What were they saying to you? 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.840 Did it help? Did it make you all feel better? 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.520 I mean they had megaphones, but we like could not 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.840 really we heard them, but it was really hard to 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.880 understand what they were saying and the things they were saying. 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.480 It was just like okay because they were just saying like, oh, 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:55.520 take deep breaths and everything. 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.280 I'm like, like I cannot take an aps, like I 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.000 am restrained here. I'm sorry, but maybe you could take 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:02.440 the deep breath for me because I was. I was 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:03.720 druggling already, have asthma. 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.600 Oh hell, you don't tell how high up you're at 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:12.360 the top of the ride, ninety nine feet up so 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.440 you all can see could you see a crowd gathering 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.880 down below. It just you all became a spectacle. 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.320 Oh yeah, people are like literally you just look down 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:25.560 and you see like a block of phones recording you. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.680 Wow, everyone's down below looking up at you with their 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:29.840 phones recording. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.520 Whining and like laughing and telling their friends like literally laughing. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:35.360 I don't like you can hear them. 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.000 Did did you all have your phones on you? Or No? 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.360 You didn't have If we did, everyone not have phones anymore, 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:43.080 you would. 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:43.520 Have dropped them. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.440 Yeah, did anyone have their phone up there? 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:47.800 No? 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:49.960 The only thing that someone had was a stopwatch, and 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.880 they recorded how long that we were up there. 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:57.720 That's it in time, thirty six minutes, thirty sixth Oh, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:16:59.680 can you. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:04.560 Take me through the progression of how it feels to 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:09.280 be held upside down for thirty minutes? Like after five 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.560 you start feeling this? After ten, can you kind of 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.240 just progress to where it got I assume it had 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.680 to get to a point that you thought the pain 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.080 was at some point going to be unbearable. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.040 Definitely, Like, like I remember the first minute, I was 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.360 just like completely fine, like everything. You're just like very 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.200 confused on what's going on. But like going through the minutes, 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.880 like five minutes in, I would definitely like my head 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.879 started to feel lightheaded. You start to feel a blood 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.280 kind of rushing to that part of your body. No 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.480 like pain in my body yet, but like I could 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.520 tell like I was using a lot of muscles and like, yeah, 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.040 definitely trying to keep myself up and like breathing. But 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.240 like ten minutes in, my legs are starting to feel 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.960 a little numb buzzing, and my like deep breathing is 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.120 like starting to get heavier and heavier. And I would say, 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.920 like fifteen minutes in, I'm definitely like struggling and everything, 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:01.919
