In one place in Russia, bumping cars would get you kicked off.

Back in the day when Dodgems first started going global, it was still very much the norm to not bump into others cars.

Also, back then, grown-ups went on one set of dodgems, kids on another.

It’s understandable that the kids would bump each other once a while, so there was rarely ever a penalty for kids’ collisions.

However, adults would often be told off by fairground owners.

One example of this being taken to a crazy extreme was in Russia, where adults on the bumper cars at one fun fair were kicked off if they collided with another car.
