This ride is crazy
What's the most scary is it's built by Russians. Kidding really!!

Iduno, - seems like one wrong move would snap those arms off. That's all I would be thinking about lol. But that's me..

Scary to think that it articulates on the arms like that with all the weight it is swinging around.

Works for me. I always look out for body fluids in the air, when I'm on crazy rides.

I'd try it, but there has to be a lot of stress on those joints.

FWIW, it's similar to the Riptide ride at Knott's Berry Farm in SoCal, but with an extra dimension.
