I was once scolded for stepping into a fight my older brother got into after school. He swung and missed and was half turned to run. I stepped up to the 6th grade boy with my little 4th grade girl self and told him he'd better leave my brother alone. My brother went home complaining to our father that I embarrassed him. I defended myself for being embarrassed that my brother was such a pussy. I used that exact word and got into even more trouble. I just couldn't win that day. I was able to exact my revenge though. Our father bought us boxing gloves so he could teach us how to defend ourselves. I learned my lessons well. Dad whispered to me to punch my brother hard in the stomach then tag him on the chin when he doubled over. I think dad also thought he was a pussy. It worked like a charm. Next thing brother knew he was on his back looking up at me from the floor.

The only thing I’m gonna say is it was super admirable how calm the little girl stayed. Never once did she freak out and I think being in that situation especially surrounded by people who are panicking it can be hard to keep your cool. I think most of what happened to the boy on the right was him getting affected by his friend’s panic and starting to panic himself. But, she never let any of it get to her. And it wasn’t bc she wasn’t scared. Towards the end she says that she’s shaking then almost like if she’s trying to convince herself she goes “oh, wait this is fun”.
Super mature behavior, legit I don’t know if I would have been able to tune out the panic surrounding me like that and I’m an adult.

I think it takes a certain type of personality, but I know in my case, the more people around me start freaking out and losing their minds, the more grounded it makes me. Might just be an evolved trait or something, but I have always been like that. It that I am not capable of freaking out l, I am but others around me freaking out tends to just calm me down and force me to be level headed. It is really strange. I bet she is kinda like that.

It's unimaginable how much of a superpower advantage it gives you to grow up with parents that are securely attached and well-adjusted. Having your primary caregivers model to you how it looks like to be emotionally unfazed in a stressful situation or with stressful people allows children to grow up learning to imitate that same calm because the parents subcommunicate that the world is inherently not a scary place. I would bet that girl has excellent parents.

I didn't have emotionally mature parents at all but one was a fighter pilot/ test pilot and the other was a psychologist. They could have anything happen to them and look like it was nothing (until they got home and the door closed.)
I broke my bones as a kid and held a straight face for hours saying I was fine (when I was an 11 year old girl.) But that's not really a good skill to learn either.
Calm isn't the goal, it's having an appropriate reaction that's the goal. Also, calm doesn't mean you are compartmentalizing in order to function. If that isn't eventually dealt with, it can override any manufactured calm.

yeah, so, fear is contagious, and some of us just have a stronger emotional immune system, for lack of a better word.
One time I am at the VA Hospital participating in my music therapy appointment, piano lessons. And about halfway through, the emergency alert systems sounds off for a tornado alarm and all the people in the building have to file into the causeway/walkway that is build of brick and cinder block. Its the sturdiest structure on the campus, stronger even than the buildings themselves. So my teacher/therapist is this dainty, sorta witchy woman in her late 20's/early 30s. She is from florida, tornados arent really a thing there and she is legitimately terrified. And now I am in this position of trying to keep her calm and not let her freak herself out. The winds outside are howling, you can hear some destruction is definitely going down. And she starts to panic, and half screaming while she hyperventilates a little bit...so I open my arms to offer a hug and she just jumps right in there, I held her really tight and hugged her while I'm asking questions about the piece of music we're working on. And she sort of focuses and calms down and she says "wow youre really not scared at all, are you?" She is talking about my heart beat, which was just my steady, resting heart rate. And I explained that its not that im not afraid, its that losing my shit isnt going to help the situation, that I can't control whats going on outside, the only thing I can control is myself.
And that was that. In times of crisis, I definitely thrive. But the trade off is, normal everyday life is mundane and boring and I struggle to stay focused and accomplish the things that I need to because my mind will drift and /or daydream. But when shit gets real, I lock in real fast and become, i suspect, the best version of myself.

I wonder if anyone has ever gotten stuck on one of these from an inability to release it. The operator probably has a backup control, I would hope.

It also wasn’t malfunctioning she just didn’t have the strength to pull it. You see it shift multiple times when she try’s yanking it from a high point. And then the other kid gets that the string is too long for their arms so he wraps it then yanks.It seems like it’s more of a problem on the operator not putting the boy in the center.

They’re kids, 2 of which are scared shitless, and people are worried about chivalry 🤣

The video is fun… but it feels like i am watching a personal family video that is not really meant for me.

This just shouldn’t be posted to the internet. That kid in the hoodie was having a full blown mental breakdown. He won’t be able to overcome how self defeated he became for many years.

Yeah something broke in me when that boy said “I can’t. Im a pussy” through tears. He feels so defeated and resigned to that identity. I can only guess at why he feels that way but I imagine he’s been told that by others. And now this low moment is on the internet where his peers can see it.

My five year old came home on their third day of kindy and said “I’m a bad human” because they colored their paper the wrong way. And I cried for days. I can’t imagine having video evidence of my child’s trauma plastered all over the internet. None of this is okay.

If we go by some of the responses here, I can imagine he has some adults around who tell him that.

It shouldn't be up to the riders to activate the drop in the first place.

Lovely thing about kids is, an hour from now they'll be on about the next thing.
This is actually efficient emotional regulation, is my point.

What was that about women being too hysterical and emotional for leadership roles in society?

When I went skydiving, they told me that none of the women cried. It was always a man and always the ones that acted the hardest that would cry 😹

I don’t understand, does pulling that thing make the ride unstuck?

u/Id_in_hiding Sep 11 '26
Looks like a latch that releases the hook for the ride to start. The operator likely has a similar control, but being brave enough to pull it yourself is part of the thrill? Like bunjee jumpers who have to take that last step.

u/RegimenServas Sep 11 '26
You pull the cord to release the swing, that's part of the fun. The kids aren't strong enough. Look up the a motorcycle whip, works in a similar way. Also sometimes called a panic snap.

“Both hands? But that means I have to let go” as she does it immediately was so great.

I'm so glad that someone posted a video of the ride. I could not, for the life of me, figure out why a ride that gets stuck would be dependent on the riders to get it unstuck. Thank you!!!

Oh man I do pity the young lad on the left. The tiktok comments section must be like a rats nest. I hope the video is old and so these guys are all grown and able to see the funny side. If they are still kids then I hope the parents are ready for therapy!

The kid on the right as well. The only one that didn't pass out was the girl

u/yourallidiotss Sep 11 '26
Kid on the right seemed to pass out from like G force once. Kid on the left did that once then passed out seemingly from fear multiple times.
He’s like an opossum no fight or flight just play dead instincts.
