I had worked at a theme park a couple summers. I operated one of the rides during a state inspection. It wasn't a simple push the button and off it goes kind of thing, you manually controlled it. There were three big hydraulic motors with tires that powered the moving portion. The goal was to never equal the tires and I was good at it.
A new supervisor was promoted only because her sister was a manager already. She didn't know how to properly operate the ride and was training others. I walked past one day to hear it roaring around one direction then the tires started screeching as it was hammered the other direction. I put in my notice the same day as that was my tipping point of stupidity, I wasn't going to be there when someone was hurt or worse.
The supervisor who promoted her only did it to kiss ass, she complained she hadn't had a single day off all summer because the new supervisor couldn't perform the job.
