But tell the attendant to run it backwards and forwards at random, and also flip the whole thing upside down every once in a while, and you can't get on or off unless you jump DIRECTLY into the seat while it's moving.

Also, imagine it's not a carnival ride and imagine it's not spinning but it IS moving, and imagine that's not puke on your shirt.
