My mom got her neck broken and extensive head injuries after being thrown off the Himalaya ride at a carnival in the mid 70s. My little brother and his best friend were on it with her, he was around 7 at the time and as he described it he shut his eyes and when he opened them mom was suddenly gone. She died at the scene but amazingly was revived and medivacced to the hospital. The pictures that were taken of the injuries are beyond description I'm not joking. Yes she received a large settlement but in the end all me and my family has to say is you really cannot trust these things.

The ride operator needs the sack. It is clear that the ride has been left to go through its cycle. *Unbelievable!* The ride owner needs to lose their licence and be investigated. Routine periodic inspections and maintenance are *essential* on fun fair rides. It is clear that maintenance hasn't been undertaken and / or that any recommendations of remedial repairs have been ignored (likely to save money, because inspection and maintenance isn't cheap). I hope a thorough investigation is undertaken.

The ride operator and the fair owners should face legal consequences. The ride should have eyes on it 100% at all times. If the operator was not trained on that, then the company should be disciplined.

It was a huge round ride the would go one side all the way up, and the drop to a down position. Before every set up he checked every thing from top to bottom. Unfortunately it caught fire while in operation. Fortunately no one got injured but he lived with that for years.

I worked the fair one year for an airbrush artist. My oldest daughter was 6 wks old. He made me swear I would never let my kid get on a carnival ride. The last night, it took about an hour to take the entire fair down, and he told me "look. This is why you never ride carnival rides. There's no maintenance supervision like you get at amusement parks, and the operator can be gone within an hour." I have always heeded that advice, and my oldest will be 17 this year.

They immediately shut down the ride, asked us to stay where we were for a moment, and we were talking to repairman & engineer within 2-3 minutes. They didn't reopen the ride until they were sure it had been a simple accident (putting a hand in the wrong spot at just the right moment) and that the exit gate was operating properly. THAT is how to manage a ride.

Emergency stop button can actually make the problem worse some of the rides don't have one for that reason. They basically have to evaluate whether or not to use the emergency button because the ride doesn't just simply stop and return the occupants to the ground in some cases slapping the emergency button can actually injure and kill Riders in most cases it leaves them stock hanging in the air upside down in some cases for a day or more before emergency Cruise can get them down and they usually get sued because of people dying where they were hung upside down for too long waiting for the emergency crews to get them down they're usually better off to leave the thing finish at cycle unless they're absolutely sure that multiple people are being ejected.

Was the operator an incompetent DEI hire?? Hit the red button FFS!!

To be fair, the operator was doing meth with the carnival’s safety officer at the time.

I quit riding fair rides when 15 years old because me and my best friend got on this ride called like Arabian nights or something like that. It was made to look like a magic carpet with two rows of like 10 or so seats and it had the bars that came down over your shoulders to hold you in. It’s one of those rides that are mounted on a big arm and go in a big circle like 100 feet in the air and back down and back up. Well the carny straps us in doesn’t check any of the bars and starts the ride going up was no big deal but as we came down me and my best friends lap bars went up and we both almost got slung out luckily we had each others back and together we were able to hold the bars down until the ride stopped. My sister who had taken us saw it happen and frantically tried to get the carny to stop the ride but he didn’t believe her when she said she saw our bars go up. So we got to spend 5 minutes in complete terror with our arms laced though our lap bars with our arms that were side by side locked together because we decided that if one us went we’d both take that trip. That’s been close to 20 years ago and haven’t stepped foot on a midway since.

Some people have no “preserve your life” skills. Ride is falling apart and people are literally walking the predetermined path. Not me! I’m tearing the fence down. Who’s with me?!?

I was on a similar ride at a local fair set up on a school football oval in Adelaide South Australia, and the safety lock that held me in my seat had malfunctiond. I had to hold on for dear life and really badly hurt my knee in the process. When the ride stopped I told the carnies what happened and showed them my leg, and they just gave me a refund and told me to go. I wanted to fight the carnies but my tough brother who is a soldier wouldn't let me fight them and just told me to leave it. About 6 months later I read about a guy in Perth Australia who came off the exact same ride and died. There were pictures of the ride in the news story and I am 99% sure that it was the same one that had malfunctioned when I rode it. I didn't know who to contact about this. It happened about 8 or 9 years ago.

Why you'd want to put your life in the hands of fairground operators who dismantle and reassemble these contraptions is utterly beyond me.

Never went on another ride ever again.

As a seasonal ride operator at an amusement park, I feel like I should chime in. STOP THE RIDE THE MOMENT SOMETHING BECOMES DETACHED!!!!! -> I’m usually responsible for operating the park perimeter scenic train(Narrow Gauge 2ft 2in, C.P.Hunnington Locomotive & Consist, Two Stations/Three Crossings, and Approximately 2.5 Miles Of Track). On the longest straight, the track speed is 13 miles per hour. I had someone step off of my train after rounding a corner entering the longest stretch. I slammed the air brake leaver into full stop, throttled down, and slammed on the locomotive brake(followed by a long whistle to indicate to park other employees of a situation. I then contacted park management and proceeded to request the passenger to step back on. -> Another time, when I was on the Ferris Wheel, a person dropped his flip flop on the head of the “door keeper”(as I call him). At first, we all thought it was part of the ride, so I immediately threw it into full reverse, stopping the Ferris Wheel, and took a moment to assess the situation. -> What all this is meant to do is portray the point of ensuring the safety of all aboard, whether or not someone is at risk of injury. The operator of this ride was negligent, and therefore derelict in his duty to ensure the safety of the guests.

For those of us in the health and safety, entertainment/ festival/ fair ground etc industry, we know that the ride should have been stopped immediately. All rides legally have to go through safety inspection before ever allowing members of the public to get on them and have all paperwork such as ADIPS, risk assessments, and insurance renewed to show that all safety checks have been done. The rides cannot operate if these documents are out of date. Allowing the ride to continue instead of shutting it down, is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen 🤷‍♀️

Something that is driven around on the back of a lorry and bolted together in a couple of hours should be banned. Peoples lives are put at risk in return for a few quid. Im my younger days I worked on a waltzer and helped to put it together. I had no experience but it didnt matter as long as I could use a spanner. The owner of the ride was only interested in getting the ride up and running so he could start taking money. No safety checks at all.

Why wasn't the ride stopped?? That needs to be addressed!!!

Although this looks bad I’m a ride operator and the part of the ride this fell off is just theming and doesn’t affect the safety of the ride in any way the only danger is from the fallen part is it striking a rider on the descent, the media like to give us a bad rep this ride will be perfectly safe and could be reopened the same day, and you also will never fall out of a ride most big rides use a 3 Part locking system consisting of 2 hydraulic cylinders a ratchet like system and magnets all of these need to fail before a safety bar can release

As a professional lawn care specialist, i can say with total confidence that this is not a grass issue.

I was at a well know amusement park in northern Indiana when I was on a umbrella ride, similar to the one in the video. I always look at the engineering of things like this, and I noticed that the Umbrella in front of me was missing the bearing that the umbrella was supposed to swing back and forth on. After the ride, I told, and showed the operator of the ride the problem. The bearing had been missing for a while and was half way worn thru the metal that was supposed to house the bearing. There was a safety cable attached, but I wouldn't want my life depending on that safety cable. After I showed him, we walked away. But we kept walking by there to see if there were going to do anything about it. We walked by two times and they were still running the ride with the purple umbrella still having the problem, I told my GF that the third time we walked by there and there is nothing done about it, we will find someone in management. Our third time by there, they were taking that purple umbrella off of the ride.

An operator is not a maintenance guy nor the technician, mechanic. You have to grab the owner or mechanic (they usually lurk nearby) and show them, then tell them that the people in charge of the laws governing carnivals, fairs and the use of equipment like this will be notified of the hazard.

My son almost fell out of a ride once & i was screaming at them to stop the ride, my daughter was holding on to him for dear life.. finally they listened & stopped the ride. Had my daughter not been with him my boy would've been gone. They had the nerve to give us more tickets when we went to the head trailer to complain.. wth made them think i would put my kids on anymore rides is beyond me!

Back when I was around 12 in the early 90s a carnival with rides even larger than this one was held at a mall parking lot outside Rochester NY (Eastview). My friend and I rode a ride that was like a big Ferris wheel that was fast and had cars that would spin you upside down fast and repeatedly as the main Ferris wheel was spinning as well. They put a bar over your midsection to hold you in from falling out. Sometimes the ride would come to brief stops just hold you upside down for a few seconds. I was very skinny and was slipping through the bar and had to hold on for dear life. I was crying my ass off. I was losing my grip as the ride went on and my hands got sweatier and sweatier. I would have fallen around 50 feet on the asphalt parking lot to my death if I didn’t do everything I could to hold on. My friend next to me was having the time of his life laughing his ass off and thought I was doing the same (I was hysterically crying) which made the situation that much worse as I felt even more helpless for some reason. I had no choice but to hold on and wait out the ride. Don’t risk going on traveling carnival rides they are put up way too fast and carelessly. Easily the closest I have ever come to dying in my life. The name of the ride was “Terminator “ haha

@ToddCrispies - A similar thing happened to me when I was around 14, I was very petite and light in weight. I went on a fast spinning fairground ride, like a cup, with my two friends and I sat in the middle of them, thankfully. As the ride built up speed, I started to slip under the lap-down safety bar. One of my shoes fell off and flew away. The ride was going so fast, we couldn't speak, I couldn't scream out what was happening but thankfully my friends on either side individually saw that I was slipping under the safety bar and they both linked arms with me to hold me in the seat. That was frightening. I eventually found my shoe - I really hope it didn't hurt anyone as it landed near the queue of people waiting to get on the ride!

No fair or carnival rides for me. I dated a ride operator a couple of times as a teen and he said all the traveling rides are deathtraps waiting to happen. I followed his advice and continue to 30+ years later.

I once took my toddler to a farm animal fair and saw a small Ferris wheel. As soon as the operator turned it on, the sheer noise from the old rickety Ferris wheel terrified me. I quickly told him to turn it off and immediately collected my toddler. I will never do that ever again! These people are there to take your $5.

Hope everyone was ok. I went on a date to a local carnival one night, with my now husband. This was back in the early 90s when women loaded their hair with Aqua Net Hairspray, including me. Anyway, we went on the Flying Bobs ride, which were 2 person cars that went around in a circle, moving up and down, by lights and graffiti painted walls, as loud rock music played. (Halfway through the ride, it moves backwards for a while too.) When the ride stopped, my hair was standing straight up and forward, like the backwards movement had frozen it in time (or I was a cartoon of a person who stuck their finger in a light socket). I was mortified, as people stared and chuckled. My husband and I looked at eachother and burst out laughing. It was then that it began raining, pasting my hair down flat, and making my makeup run down my face. Most of the people left the park, but without lines, we decided to stay and hit every ride before they finally closed everything down. I began the evening as a glamorous lady, and ended it as a kid with my best friend, laughing and playing in the rain, and racing back to our car. That's when I knew that he was the kind of man that I wanted to marry. Over 34 years later, and a whole lifetime of adventures (and challenges), we're still best friends, who still enjoy eachother's company, and laugh at life every day. We've been asked, many times, what the key is to a happy marriage, and love, loyalty, compromise, consideration, and a great sense of humor are the top 5. If you can laugh at life, and stick together (through thick and thin), you can get through anything, including the hard times (of which there are many in life). Wishing everyone who reads this finds the love of their life, and a happy, healthy, relationship. "No man is an island." ❤

I worked for a traveling amusement park, if people really knew about these machines, they'd never in a million years put their children or themselves on them.. Loose bolts, stress cracks that aren't visible to the naked eye or in places they can't be seen, hydrologics that have more time on them and their fluid than 24/365 mine machinery...If people only knew.. The object is to keep the machines running for long periods of time without having to do "full repairs" so the company can make as much profit as possible, before having to send the machine in for costly repairs..
