Does the Ferris Wheel ride scare you?

I wouldn't get on the Ferris Wheel now, for love, nor money. I used to ride it with my dad in my younger days. I'd even beg my dad to rock the car we were sitting in. Later on, as I got older, I became afraid of heights. Many years later, there was a story on the television, of a woman & another passenger, who were on the Ferris Wheel, when all of a sudden, the woman began screaming uncontrollably & the passenger kept yelling to the man running the ride, to stop the ride. Thinking that she was screaming because of the ride itself, he paid no attention to either passenger. When the ride finally stopped, the carnival worker, realized, that the woman's screams were because of a rattler snake that had been under the cushion of the ride. The woman had been bitten many times & was dead when the ride came to a stop. Luckily, the passenger wasn't bitten. That true story has stayed with me all those years. No more Ferris Wheel rides for me ever again!!!!!!
