I present to you, “Physics”.
Yah know I think that kind of acceleration just might cause a concussion. On the other hand it looks like a great thyme park ride.

Raft taxed to the limit, as nanny states “the ride was fabulous!”
Just as with the backhoe and the contaminated waste water pit, I’ve gotta say that physics and human being don’t mix well. My thought ACTUally was the two boys knocking their heads together when they hit the balloon. That wouldn’t take much at all to loose a tooth or break a nose.
does look like fun though.
