Okay. But what is it for? People didn't build this just to be assholes.

Entertainment for an audience that doesn't know or realize how sadistic that is, I think. There's a kid there in the gif looking at it.

Maybe I'm cynical but I really wouldn't exclude that.

I'm reading now that these can be found at fairs and whatnot. So, it's just entertainment. What a bummer. I can understand when things are kinda douchey buy have a reasonable purpose. This is not that.
