Dad Mortified After Fainting On Amusement Park Ride For Children

Screenshots of the man fainting on the ride from TikTok video

TikToker @lewisconley93 shared video of himself enjoying a gentle swinging ride with several young kids before suddenly passing out and slumping over.

When we think of going to the fair each summer, we think of the fun rides, the many game options and prizes, and the tasty food.

Most of us don't think of potential health problems popping up like a scary figure in the haunted house or hall of mirrors.


But that possibility may be more readily on Lewis Conley Waterman's mind from now on after he fainted on a children's ride.

He was attending the fair with his family, including his toddler son, Kennedy, and he decided it would be a fun early experience for Kennedy to ride a swing-like children's ride that he was tall enough for, according to the attendant.

But the fun memory quickly became scary when Waterman fainted.

All started off well when he tried to spur his son's excitement on by clapping his hands and throwing his hands in the air.

Upon a close watch, Waterman's head could be seen starting to loll subtly, and soon after he put his hands back down on the bar.

He continued to laugh with Kennedy, who was really getting into the ride at that point, until he flopped forward over the bar.

The woman taking the video laughed at first, thinking he was joking with his son, before she stopped recording.

Waterman simply captioned the video:

"Still can't believe I passed out on a children's fair ride."

The video quickly racked up over four million views with a mixture of humor and concern, much like the kids who were on the ride with Waterman.

Some found the humor in the video and shared their own experiences with scary rides.

Others advised Waterman to seek out medical attention just in case and voiced their concerns.

Quite a few were also concerned about Kennedy being on the ride, but Waterman reassured everyone that he was tall enough.

Waterman has not shared any updates with his TikTok community about how he's been feeling since the incident, or if he's sought out any form of medical attention or treatment. His funny videos have continued to roll in, however, which is promising.

This is a great reminder that circumstances can change in the wink of an eye, so we should do all we can to enjoy the little moments, like a first fair ride with a kid that we love.

While not all changes in circumstances will require medical attention, we still shouldn't take the time we have for granted.

People Who Woke Up From A Coma Describe What It Really Felt Like

But for those who have experienced a coma in real life state that being in a coma is much quieter and more surreal than on-screen portrayals would suggest.

Frito-Lay truck crash sparks jokes!

Crescent City is famous for coastal views, historic lighthouses, and now—apparently—a Frito-Lay truck that tried to audition for The Fast and the Furious: Snack Drift.

Last week in California, a truck loaded with chips yeeted itself more than 100 feet into a creek along the Smith River in Crescent City on State Route 199—the notoriously dramatic highway between Crescent City and Grants Pass, Oregon—known for hairpin turns, cliffs with no chill, and canyon drops that look like Mario Kart designed them after three Red Bulls.
