    Safety is at the heart of what we do

    Except for the part of the show where the heavy boulder easily jumped its path and they had to have a human being stop it.

      Exactly. Safety for the ride operators is just as important as audience safety, if not more so, for any carnival that claims to be safe and reliable.

        It’s akin to a magic show. The whole idea is that someone is not supposed to get hurt. Penn & Teller have a whole trick where they talk about the importance of safety (the “magic bullet” trick).

        Because you know what really ruins the magic? When someone gets hurt.
