Merry-Go-Round

Now, although this looks a little fun it is a very bad idea. They used a motorcycle to increase the speed of the merry go round. Although they went very fast can you identify something that reduced their speed? Since the two individuals were sitting at the end of the wheel, the wheel had a higher rotational inertia and thus had a lower rotational velocity then if they moved to the middle. The two individuals lowered the rotational velocity as much as they could since they were located faraway from the axis of rotation.
