“Let me just tighten that up there,” Poblano says as he hand-tightens the nut onto a thick piece of threaded metal.
Many comments shared on the video clip raised concerns about the safety of the carnival rides at the rodeo, which wrapped up last week. Some joked that the rides are death traps. “I never understand how people go to the fair and go on rides that came out of a suitcase,” TikTok user @mari_idgaf_ quipped.According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 1,299 people were injured from amusement park rides in 2019.
Despite the unsettling image in the video, TikTok user @devilragon666x and others explained that the bolt is actually part of a turnbuckle. Even if the bolt was completely unscrewed, the seven inches of additional thread meant it wouldn't go anywhere, the user argued. Whether or not the loose nut posed an actual safety hazard, the official TikTok account of the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo thanked Poblano for his service.
