I (45m) took my boys to the State Fair. In the carnival rides we found one called the Tornado… which is a variation of those rides where you hold the center wheel and spin yourself as the ride goes (one of my favorite rides to do since I can’t really do the crazy rides anymore). The wheel was a little textured but it seemed good to grab and spin. So we spun real fast from the start (mainly me)… I dragged it to stop, then the other way. Then stopped and back the first direction. Got off the ride and my one hand was a little sore. Giant 1” plus blister, wrinkled skin on my palm. Similar on the other hand but that one was ripped open. Smaller blisters on both thumbs, 2 more fingers… 6 in all. Took a bee line straight to the first aid center for bandages.

TLDR. Tried to spin like mad on a carnival ride and earned blisters all over my hands and fingers
