Fair fainting

Just wanted to do a quick blog on my first time ever fainting, which happened earlier today. So the annual funfair is in town, and since i'm only a street away i thought fuck it, let's go. All the classic attractions are there, claw machines, merry-go-rounds, air rifle booth... but then i spotted a new one, a gravitron!

For those not in the know, a gravitron is where you're on the inside of a circle, no straps or seats, and it just spins. It spins until the G forces pin you against the wall, and then the floor goes away. So there you are, unrestrained, disobeying gravity, stuck to a rapidly spinning wall.

I had only ever seen one in movies, i didn't even know they existed in belgium. I thought it was one of those american things where european safety laws are like DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! But there it was, in the flesh- um, steel... aluminum? So my dumb ass forgets the fact that only last year i conquered my fear of fast rides and maybe i'm not built for this one. I buy my ticket, and get in.

It's just like in the movies, no seats, belts, cushions, pillows, or emergency hatches. just a wall. I pick a spot, somewhere not too close to other people, the door goes click, and off we go. spinning spinning spinning, faster faster, we breach the fastest speed i've ever gone on a fairground i think. And then a click as the floor starts lowering without us. Like bugs on a windshield we're on this wall rotating at speeds the good lord only ever intended for asteroids and light particles.

And then i'm in a field of grass, under a nice blue sky, someone is talking to me... wait. The other side of the cylinder of ultimate speed comes back into focus. I'm on the floor, what the hell just happened? The ride has stopped moving, and there's people around me asking if i'm alright, they help me sit up. I'm dizzy, i'm slightly nauseous, and i must've landed on my index finger wrong because owie. It hits me like yeah, i was fully passed out for an unknown amount of time.

I stumble out of the ride and take a seat on the steps until i'm somewhat able to aim my body in the direction of home. More pains come to me, my arm, neck, legs... my finger still has full motion, and it's not bent in a weird angle, so that's cool at least. I pick myself up, stumble home, have some water, and fall into bed until my stomach decides to stop feeling ill.

All in all, fun physics demonstration, too much G forces, 5/10.
 
What a great story, thank you for sharing and mad props for facing your fears head-on (or at least head-mostly-on)!

I remember those rides from my school days, discussed them in physics class when they first started popping up at the local fair. Never been on one myself and not entirely sure why. Back then I thought "Okay I know how the physics works, so what is the point". Thank you for reminding me of their existence - to-do list updated.
