😞

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

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. ;(
