Are those mobile theme parks really safe?

Question

Are they inspected often, etc? I've been looking at the rides in my town and they look extremely rickety (rusty, uncared for).

Answer 1

read this article at ezinearticles.com "carnival ride accident report-this will throw you for a loop" and you will find it amazing. it depicts all ride accidents, stationary or mobile, in 2007 in the continental united states.

Answer 2

A carnival ride collapsed here in California recently. I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen more often. They don't look safe to me.

some parks just make them look like that just so that you can be scared more than you need to I personally would not worry at all it is kinda like wonder land one or two rides look like they are old and made of wood my dad is terrified by them but they are 100% safe  think of how many people have rode on them.
