Human-powered Ferris wheel

We’ve seen plenty of human-powered fair attractions, however most of them make use of pedals, levers or perhaps re-purposed bicycles as their interface for locomotion. This one is a bit simpler than that, as the operator just grabs onto the guard rail and pulls, kind of like a vertical roundabout. Scary, but totally fun looking. I’d love to see these in playgrounds! [via boingboing]
