Selling tickets on those non-humid days would have been more profitable than fixing anything.

  Static discharge from machines like that has killed people in the past, so I’m not sure if that’s the best idea.

    Amusement parks have killed people in the past, yet they're still queuing up to the machines able to do the most damage.

      Amusement parks are slightly more systematic about trying their best to not kill people than "let's see what happens if people interact with this known-deadly machine when we remove the part that makes it less deadly (i.e. the grounding)".

        It's just a difference is scale of risk. For something closer: base jumping is still popular, no-harness climbing of tall buildings is still a thing on YouTube, crazy Russian groups still do pull-ups on construction cranes.
