We have another confirmation, then. Riding on fairground rides is not wise or safe. Ha ha. This is exactly the kind of thing that stops me. I do not like the thought of being trapped!!!
Still, it is lucky that it was some kind of jam up rather than something breaking. People have been known to be seriously injured and die when amusement rides malfunction and parts fall.
You see, stories like this are the number one reason you will never find me on the Ferris Wheel or any of those other rides. Everyone tells me these things are safe and nothing ever happens, well, here it happened... Thank goodness no one was hurt, but they must all have been so terrified, especially the kids. It's enough to put someone off those rides for the rest of their lives.
