My guess is that all of us have been at a Carnival/Amusement Park/Fair. What happened there?

Nate Clone - That Time I Almost (Foop)ing Died
My middle school has a tradition of taking the students to an amusement park at the end of the year. It's pretty cool. There's food, a ferris wheel, and some roller coasters.

Anyway, last year my friends wanted me to go on a roller coaster. This coaster went incredibly fast, had about 17 loops, and was, in my friends words ¨The Ride That Turns Boys Into Men¨.

But since past Eddie is a complete moron, he accepted this death wish.

On the ride, like most rides, there was a slow rise before the drop. I got in my seat and, normally, there's these people who lock yourself in so you don't fly off your seat, but they weren't there for some reason. No problem, I'll just lock it myself and-.

It didn't lock.

I kept pushing the bar into the sockets but there's no click. And to make things worse, the ride BEGINS TO MOVE.

At this point I'm (foop)ing terrified, so I kept pushing.

And then, when the ride was about halfway up the hill, it stops and goes back to starting position. Apparently, people saw me struggling and stopped the ride. So then I was safe.

But then I realized after they locked the seat that I was still on the fastest ride at the park after eating fried dough.

So...what did I learn that day? Vomiting is much less painful than death.
