😞

How can this happen?

A witness said she was hanging by her legs before being thrown. Were the operators not watching? Surely there is a button to stop the ride immediately.

This is heartbreaking. OMG the poor family and the poor people around who witnessed it

Her mother was watching 😞

Poor little lass. How terribly sad.

Those rides terrified me when I was a kid, I always felt like I was going to slide out.

Oh my this is just so awful to read..I feel sick as it was only a few days back i said to someone that somebody was going to be killed eventually on a ride..I had just been watching a second american news story of a ride that had broken down leaving people stuck in a dangerous situation ..I work  at the show grounds in melbourne  each year & had been thinking of all our shows starting up again..

so very sa..

This is tragic. I was at the Adelaide Royal show two years ago with my husband's g'kids. I hope they weren't there when this happened. The Twins just turned 9.  

So sad. ;(
