Ride Injures Eight In Memphis, Tennessee
When an amusement park ride injures eight people, there is a problem. Someone probably would benefit from a personal injury attorney’s advice if involved in an accident with so many people injured. Case in point, a ride was shut down at The Delta Fair in Memphis, Tennessee due to injury of eight people. Two adults and six children were taken to the hospital but were able to walk from the ride unassisted. None of the injured had visible injuries but were complaining of ankle pain. Four more riders were treated on the scene. One of the two adults was actually the ride operator who was traumatized by the accident.
While the fair continued to operate, the ride did not. A technical inspection was completed on the ride within the past three years, as well as two more inspections that occurred days before the fair opened. A ride inspector is now scheduled to examine the ride to determine the problem of the malfunction.
Moonraker Rides Injures Eight
The Moonraker ride spins around on an axis and tilts up and down at an angle. Fairgoers were riding the Moonraker when a problem was detected by the computer which initiated an immediate safety shutdown. The ride stopped spinning and started to descend when the ride operator panicked and hit the manual override button which released the safety restraints before the ride had completely stopped. As a result, the Memphis, Tennessee Moonraker is now associated with a reputation of “Ride Injures Eight.”
