Yes, it was a girl I dated years ago who is now about 30. I moved out of state and married someone else and have been married about 5 years.

Look up "fair ride accidents" on youtube. Chances are if you ever rode a certain ride and thought to yourself "omg this could break apart and kill me at any second ", you were actually right.

One of my favorite rides used to be The Swings.

bGvvxnq


Never mind the rather obvious structural risks involved with riding that thing (ie: a swing snapping off). I won't ride it anymore after seeing a video of 9 passengers getting crushed by the machine collapsing on them. I would feel fine riding at some place like Disney World where they do whatever to avoid bad publicity (which means more frequent maintenance). But riding one of those things in a hokey rusted up small town carnival....oh hell no. The reason some of those machines bust up is because they're showing their age. And if they don't got a TEAM of pros checking them at least every couple days, the rides are fuckin hazards. They should be scrapped after a certain point, but some owners don't prioritize safety over expense.

The Cinco de Mayo festival here either last year or the year before had a pretty horrible incident with one of the rides. I don't remember what type of ride it was, but a little girl's hair got caught in something and it literally ripped her hair and entire scalp off of her head. I think she was 10 or 11.

She lived, thankfully.

Me posting maybe. She has actually aged very bad. At age 21 she looked 17-18, at 30 she looks late 30's.

Stuff like this is why I will not be a passenger on any big mechanical rides anymore. I'm fine with the bumper cars...

Good lord I just saw the video. "Malfunctioned"? A malfunction is like if some lights don't turn on. This is more like a catastrophic mechanical failure.

I'm going to guess metal fatigue in the connecting bolts. By the look of it the ride pod shears away from the arm right at the bottom of the swing when there would be the most force being put on it.

Yeah never go on fair/carnival rides. Only dedicated amusement park rides that aren't cheaply designed to be transported.

Ah. But will she do so with the same smug grin on her face and her elbows on the table all while subtly but excitedly gyrating back and forth in her chair like she sitting on, well.....
You know, like she does every day when she thinks she's just discovered the story to end all stories.

They check the rides everyday. Lets be honest, it probably won't happen to you (or whoever reads this).

That being said some things do slip through the cracks once in awhile. Just goes to show that they should check the rides a few times more to ensure the safety of the riders.

yea i seen this on facebook and they said they spent like 72 hours checking the 90 rides before hand. and i'm sure it's multiple people doing it so it's probably a few hours per ride at least.

but things like this is why i don't really trust fair rides. at least none like this that go up high in the air. i trust big thing parks a lot more although i know there's been roller coaster and ride problems in some of them as well. but most of them at smaller ones.

Although I have not found information on it, people have said that the ride operators of this ride when this happened ran off leading to tampering being suspected. I am sure more news will come out today or this week.

In another report it was heard that riders were screaming "slow down!" to so it may be a possibility. If so they better be ready for the consequences

Yeah, I expect that a very big lawsuit is incoming for one along with other consequences.

Some of those fair rides seem like they could kill you without malfunctioning.

Mrs. DevsBro and I went to Lake Winnie in June and that one steel coaster beat the crap out of us, while this one wagon wheel ride had us actually holding on for dear life.
