Why People Grab Rings on a Carousel
Why do some people reach out to touch a wooden board in the middle of a carousel ride? You might think it's just part of the attraction, but they actually do it for a very specific reason. They're participating in a game called the carousel ring game. As the carousel spins at high speed, passengers try to grab as many brass rings as possible, which are attached to the wooden board. It sounds easy, but it's much harder than it looks. Once grabbed, a ring can easily slip from your fingers. The most skilled players even manage to grab several in a single pass. At the end of the ride, the person who has collected the most rings wins a prize.
