You'd get your older cousins to bring the thing up to orbital speeds when you were having a birthday party in the park. At least a couple times a year, some would get a broken arm on that thing, and once a generation a kid would end up underneath.

My brother swears he fell underneath, one time we were playing. Thankfully, he was towards the edge and he was small (at the time).

Teenagers with dirtbikes. Such glorious stupidity was something to behold.

I remember getting spun up to warp speed and one kid slipped and flew off. Not normally a problem but he happened to get flung onto his bike that was parked there. He did not ride off into the sunset.
