I went on this in Aussie many years ago..... Scared the crap outta me, more so when I saw how it was held together with No. 8 wire! 

 

 

Another Chance Mfg. piece as well. One trailer, easy to set up and tear down. Atlas had one of these as well, and I gave breaks on it and helped up and down it a few times. That's a newer model in the picture, the older models were more fun to run. 

 

What was held together with wire?

Sorry to carry this on in the Joke section but... 

 

The carriage,/zipper part had a pin sticking out on either end.  This acts as the swivel so the carriage can spin. 

 

Their locking pin to hold it into place on the main structure was just No. 8 wire through a hole and wrapped around the pin.  It looked bloody suspect. 

 

Although the wire probably has a good shear strength I wasn't keen to get on the ride again, and probably wouldn't have in the 1st place if I'd spotted that prior.
