A handful of small metal balls inside it and a magnet at its holding spot is all it would need id imagine

Yeah 400lbs my ass that thing bounces like a big beach ball. You can even hear the rubber hitting the stage.

How much does that weigh in football fields?

It’s akin to a magic show. The whole idea is that someone is not supposed to get hurt. Penn & Teller have a whole trick where they talk about the importance of safety (the “magic bullet” trick).

Because you know what really ruins the magic? When someone gets hurt.

Exactly. Safety for the ride operators is just as important as audience safety, if not more so, for any carnival that claims to be safe and reliable.

With staff pushing you out once the boulder has passed! I don't think this game had a time limit; it was more focused on "get to the top, if you can". In MXC. I guess I have 0 context to the original game 😁

This is like the temu Ahmed al Ahmed.

Safety is at the heart of what we do

Except for the part of the show where the heavy boulder easily jumped its path and they had to have a human being stop it.

Sharks don't have bones.

Dude held that camera more solid than than the boulder.

I'm surprised they didn't just design some magnetic roller system to couple the ball to the ramp and stop it if necessary. It really would have cost less than this person's compensation, most likely.

woof misjudged the weight there a bit

Hope dude gets a good payout

It's the second power rule, plus extra needed thickness for strength that makes it confusing. A ball that is 10x larger in diameter than a soccer ball is 100x heavier.

400 lbs vs 200 lbs means the 200 lbs person will be pushed with twice the speed if the ball stopped completely. Which is sort of what the video shows. mv=mv

This is just a bad take. It literally is a hollow inflatable already.

400 seems pretty high to me as well.

Disney listed it as 400 pounds which seems to be the source on this.

There is no reason for this prop boulder to weigh 400 pounds. Paper mache, hollow plastic or maybe fiberglass, or inflatable would have worked just fine.

I think the only rule is once you've started going, don't get knocked back to the start. There may also be a time limit, I don't remember. As for strategy, there are cutouts in the walls you're supposed to try to slip into between boulders falling, but laying down is also totally valid.

I can only think you lay down, it rolls over you, you get up and go again. Depends on what the rules are I guess. What are they?

I would have expected a 400lb rubber bolder moving that fast to NOT stop when hitting an average sized person. Are they exaggerating the weight of the boulder?

Right you are, Ken.

Don't. Get. Eliminated!

Well, it's better for the environment... right?

Hey, who of us hasn't broken into a liquor store through the ceiling, licked the booze off the floor from the broken bottles, then passed out drunk in the employee washroom?

Oh, just me? Never mind.

This is what true "domestication" looks like.
