Do you know what the word "kamikaze" means in Japanese? His etymology is conducted from the two words “kami” - divine and “kazo” - wind. All together it turns out - a divine wind. This word in the second half of the last century began to be called Japanese suicide bombers. That is, those who deliberately went to death for the sake of a feat.
Today, “kamikaze” is also the name of one of the most risky and terrible attractions. Similar gigantic swings can be found in various amusement parks of our homeland - from Saratov to Novosibirsk. Although the Kamikaze attraction is from sunny Italy, where the first such swings appeared. What is he like and how does the public like it so much?
If you come to the amusement park, you can immediately see the Kamikaze - the attraction rises above the rest of the swings, like a giant over the midgets. It looks like two huge crossed hammers with balances at the end of the “arms”. Visitors are located in a number of seats that are installed in the "head" of the hammers. They are securely fastened with
seat belts.
How does the Kamikaze ride work? Both parts of its construction begin to rotate around an axis installed at the intersection of the “arms”. Moreover, each of the parts does this in its own direction - one moves clockwise, and the second - against it. Having made a complete revolution, each part by inertia reaches the upper point, and then begins to move in the opposite direction, thus making one and a half turns in each direction. The speed with which the "Kamikaze" attraction moves suggests that the name is justified - only very brave individuals will risk taking a ride on this one. However, those who at least once went through this test argue that everything is not so scary.
Desperate people, what to say.
Like any attraction, these "little rockers" have their own limitations. For example, children or those whose height is not high enough for the Kamikaze security system may be allowed to attend it. Usually people not less than 140 centimeters are allowed to such entertainments in order to avoid falling out of the chair during a coup. If you are going to take pictures of your feelings and the Kamikaze ride itself, it’s better to leave the photo and video equipment to those who will watch your flight from the side - they’d better take the picture (albeit from a distance) than you drop the camera from a great height during coup. Also, before landing, get all small items out of your pockets - they will surely fall out at the top of the coup.
I think it would be superfluous to remind that such entertainment is unacceptable for those who drank alcohol. You should also refuse to visit the attraction if you are taking potent medications, suffer too much pressure surges - because you will be turned upside down, moreover, sharply and repeatedly. The rest, the attraction "Kamikaze" should definitely be visited, if only to prove to himself his own fearlessness.
