The whole point is to care without danger though. Most of these devices

many of these still built of wood that creak groan and actually move

which has to be a very rare event.

We have a wooden one opening near us very soon. A refurbished, quite old,
one (in fact, the oldest in the UK, built in 1920). It is Grade II listed.

Apparently wooden ones are popular because they move and make noises...

I went on the Big Dipper at Battersea Park - mid 50s.
