somewhere there have got to be pictures of this! women and men on vacation, having a little fun, stripped of their dignity in front of a large all-ages crowd... and obviously many of them go on this thing knowing they might end up exposing all "by accident". how many of those women and men try the ride knowing their bathing suits are unlikely to withtstand the challenge? how many of their friends push them to do it, knowing this?

would you try this ride?

They have one of these machines in Belmont Park in San Diego
