This week Field Trip Correspondent Becky Palmstrom takes us to a festival in Taung Byone, Myanmar, where we learn how to run a ferris wheel … using people power. That’s right, if you haven’t got any electricity, and you MUST run a classic carnival attraction, you’ve got to hire a bunch of guys to launch themselves at it and spin the wheel using a process that can only be described as … terrifying. Throw everything you know about physics and biomechanics out the window, and come with us and Becky on our most wild ride yet!
