As Rodeo Houston heads into its final weekend, we have seen some record-breaking rodeo and concert crowds. Plus, some incredible foods, a little controversy with the dress code, and a night ending early due to a widespread brawl. Now it's time to add multiple carnival rides getting stuck.
Thanks to TikTok, we have seen many rides getting stuck at this year's Rodeo Houston. Some of them are getting stuck in pretty uncomfortable places, like upside down. This brings the question: who inspects these rides to ensure they are actually safe?

Riders are being rescued after being stuck upside down.

In the comments on the video below, one person states that this ride has broken down at least 10 times in the last week. The music definitely adds entertainment value to the video.

Another ride was manually being lowered after getting stuck midair.

Even though rides get stuck, they are still safe. Here is a video of a ride being manually lowered after getting stuck. Carnival rides often get stuck as a safety precaution.

You could say that there are so many rides are at Rodeo Houston that this is inevitable. After seeing these videos, this still doesn't deter me from getting on carnival and amusement park rides. For me, this adds to the thrill.

While you might think “watching while distracted” is a modern habit, even back in the day the TV was just… there, humming along while you did other things. These were the shows that weren’t exactly “must-see TV,” more like “might-see TV” — part of the culture, but you had to wonder: who was actually watching?
