Chairoplanes

Sombrero with people attached!, on Flickr.

Mesmerising deathtraps. Beautiful to watch but too terrifying to contemplating riding on: I chickened out on Saturday in Brighton, fearing that my chains would snap through fatigue and I’d be catapulted butt-first into a poor unsuspecting family.

Still, pretty fascinating. I tried to dig around a bit for more information about the first chairoplanes on wikipedia but it’s late and I’m tired and I couldn’t find anything. Does anyone else know a bit more about these fairground wonders?
