Midway rides are a death trap.

That's not the support for the entire ferris wheel btw, it's still bad practice and stuff can go wrong, but the ferris wheel itself is (likely) well secured. Saying likely because well we can't see it in these pics.

That’s the Barrie fair. I’m going to it today and the Ferris wheel is always like that

There are only two things that scare, and one is nuclear war.

What's the other?

Carnies!

I think that it’s pretty good for traveling carnival. 🎡

All that matters is that it holds for the 72 hours the carnival's in town.

That's how you get incidents like the one at the Cherry Festival in Michigan. (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HhmQmD2wDdc)

As someone else said, this is only the entry/exit platform for the Ferris Wheel, the Ferris Wheel itself would be well anchored but not visible in this image.

That moment when you realize the slowest ride at the fair could also be the creepiest without any moving parts involved
