ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area What's the Strangest or Funniest Service Call?

While working at an amusement park as a maintenance mechanic more than a few times I had to help get, well, for lack of a better way to put this, "wicked fat" people out of rides.

Lap bars or seatbelts latched to tight to release or the people just could not get out of the strange seating positions that some rides require.

I challenge you to keep a straight face while helping them out.

If you are big and decide to ride "The Skydiver" listen to the operator when they say keep your arms up while they shut the cage over you, unless of course you like a broken arm or two. OUCH!
