Are funfairs safe?

I'm good with big amusement parks, but mobile funfair rides really unsettle me. Are they safe to go on? Something about a ride that can be assembled/disassembled so quickly freaks me out.

I think they are just as safe but when you see them quickly detached it does slightly put me off.

That said, I haven't been to a fair in 10+ years.

I'm pretty sure they are safe, but they sure as hell don't feel it.
What unnerves me about them is that they don't stay in the same place for very long, and it seems like they do that just so nobody can use them long enough to find any faults...

Fun fairs definitely don't have the same amount of maintenance as a theme park. Their rides are set up to be logistically easy to move about, hence security isn't their top priority. I'm sure that every amusement in a fun fair has to have passed some sort of security check, though.

I think most of them should be safe- I'm sure they have to go through the same safety tests & maintenance as theme parks. They don't always look it though.
