Women given free cycling shorts to prevent upskirting on Oktoberfest amusement ride

Investigation revealed thousands of voyeuristic videos taken on Munich beer festival's Teufelsrad, or Devil's Wheel

Women have been given free cycling shorts to prevent upskirting on a famous amusement ride at the Oktoberfest in Munich, after an investigation revealed tens of thousands of voyeuristic videos circulating online.

The Teufelsrad, or Devil's Wheel, which rapidly spins around while people try to sit on it for as long as they can, is one of the beer festival's oldest rides. But many of the videos discovered by German journalists focus on women whose traditional dirndl dresses have ridden up, often showing their underwear.
