Abstract
A passenger carrying cage pivotally mounted at one end of a movable support structure is rotatable completely about an elevated horizontal shaft. The passenger cage is stabilized by a positive mechanical connection between the cage and the shaft so as to maintain the same cage attitude relative to the ground in any of its rotatable positions about the shaft. The rotation is made possible by power supplied from within the passenger carrying cage by the passengers themselves reciprocating a lever whose reciprocation is transmitted by another positive mechanical connection between the cage and the horizontal shaft.
