    “My entire bladder hurts. I was holding back throw-up. My legs are killing me,” said Daniel Allen, one of the individuals on the ride who called the 25-minute ordeal “just crazy.”

    Teens who were stuck on the ride told KOIN 6 News being suspended in the air like that made them think about life.

    “People praying to God, screaming for their life, throwing up, passing out, it was bad,” Jordan Harding said.

    A woman who witnessed the ride getting stuck from the ground recalled praying for those upside down and strapped in for nearly a half-hour.

    “The ride went up, the kids got stuck on the ride and they were just dangling,” said Lavina Waters. “And somebody came in and said ‘hey, the kids are stuck on the ride’ and I look up, and sure enough, they were stuck on the ride.”

    The add-ons were blocked at the request of Russia’s federal censorship agency, Roskomnadzor — the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media — according to a statement by Mozilla to The Intercept.

    “Following recent regulatory changes in Russia, we received persistent requests from Roskomnadzor demanding that five add-ons be removed from the Mozilla add-on store,” a Mozilla spokesperson told The Intercept in response to a request for comment. “After careful consideration, we’ve temporarily restricted their availability within Russia.

    Here are the key points of the article in bullet points:

    • Bowlero, a private equity-backed bowling company, has been rapidly expanding by acquiring existing bowling centers.

    • Bowlero’s focus is on entertainment rather than bowling, with features like loud music, expensive cocktails, and video games.

    • Serious bowlers complain that Bowlero centers are poorly maintained and have raised prices significantly.

    • Bowlero has faced accusations of ageist and racist hiring practices, with a federal investigation currently underway.

    • Bowlero’s stock price has been boosted by investment personality Jim Cramer, but some analysts believe the company is overvalued.

    • Independent bowling centers are worried that Bowlero’s expansion will threaten their existence.

    • Professional bowler Parker Bohn III criticizes Bowlero for not caring about the sport of bowling.
