when I had to go challenge a speeding ticket years ago a cop told me that part of traffic school there was watching them smash a train into a car to show how important it is to not stop on the tracks. didn't hurt the train at all. I was like fuck the school but I wanna just show up for that part
State fairs still have death and injury by machine.
The fairground rides that they haul around arent subject to the same laws for maintenance and inspection. Plus they spend most of their time sitting in lots or traveling on the highway
RETVRN (though actually the destruction of all that rolling stock is kind of alarming to watch!). I love that one of the trains is named "Old Man Depression."
