This one is safety certified by CE and ISO!

Wow that is reassuring! ‍‍‍

1. "Safety and Certifications
   Safety is paramount. The guide details how leading manufacturers like Sinorides ensure their 360 Pendulum Rides comply with global safety certifications such as CE and ISO standards—providing peace of mind."

..over here, CE and ISO are no safety certification as I'd wish to have for a ride like that..
CE is a certification by the manufacturer himself: I declare conformity to standards, but this is just not independent.
ISO certification concerns the effectiveness of quality mgmnt processes, this is done from independent organizations but then it doesn't touch the "does-it-work-safely?" question.
Has this ride been independently checked / certified concerning it's working principles and endurance limits (MTBF vs MTTR)?

ISO certification concerns the effectiveness of quality mgmnt processes

It's true that ISO 9000 and 9001 family of standards deal with quality management.

ISO publishes over 25,000 standards, including standards that address safety related to the design of machines and machine controls.

Which doesn't make statements like "Pendulum Rides comply with global safety certifications such as CE and ISO standards—providing peace of mind" in any way meaningful.
