it sounds like some people film this intentionally to upskirt

thousands of voyeuristic videos emerged on social media.

Some videos showing women on the Teufelsrad, or Devil's Wheel, have been viewed millions of times. One is said to have made thousands of euros for a woman who posted it online.

Like those creepy bull riding machines where they say you can get a free drink if you last 90 seconds, and then the operator spends that whole time trying to make their tops fall down and skirts ride up, before flinging them off with three seconds left. I suspect "spinning ride which lifts women's skirts" is probably at least part of the point.
