Recently thirteen children took a nasty fall on a local fair ride in Norwalk, Connecticut. Police officials tell news reporters the circular swing ride lost power mid session and over a dozen kids fell anywhere between 10 to 15 feet. Most riders fell straight to the ground, but a handful actually hit the ride itself. No serious injuries were reported, but one child was bleeding from the head, others suffered from concussions and sprains. This incident has parents around the nation worried about the safety of amusement rides. I'm not too sure if I would ride any of these local rides after reading this either. The ride was shut down for the the rest of the fair, but the damage was done and I'm sure the ride is all but over for the amusement company.
