…i’m gooooooooood on rides nowadays.
i don’t even fuck with “coney island”.
the wooden ass “cyclone” looked like it was on it’s last legs.
i remember being a cub and going with a church to an amusement park.
i went on this one ride,
and after being strapped in for like 5 minutes with no movement,
he is gonna tell us we were stuck.
the ride wouldn’t start and the over head seat belt thing was stuck.
we sat there for 20 minutes in the blistering sun waiting to get out.
nah homie.

many were critically injured and one person died in this incident.
according to cnn:

A video posted online appears to show several people on the Fire Ball ride seconds before parts of the structure, including a full row of seats, split up and fell.

Tragedy struck around 7:20 pm (local time) Wednesday at the popular fair in Columbus. The Fire Ball, which consists of at least six rows of seats that spin around 40 feet above the ground as the entire structure moves like a pendulum, broke apart while it was in motion.

Ohio State Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. Paul A. Pride said one person was killed and seven others were injured, two of whom are in critical condition.

Rhonda Burgess said one of her sons was standing in line at a nearby ride when the incident took place.

“The ride had four riders per cart. This piece snapped off and the riders came out of the cart,” she said. “At least two (people) flew through the air at least 20 feet before landing on their backs on the concrete.”

Within seconds, Kaylie Bellomy found herself in the middle of a crowd. She had been waiting her turn to get on the Fire Ball when she watched the turmoil erupt. “Everybody was running. I got ran over trying to get out of the way,” she told CNN affiliate WCMH. “I just don’t think I’ll ever ride a ride ever again.”

Deputies asked attendees standing near the ride to step back as someone screamed “it’s my worst nightmare,” video footage shows. Workers were also seen placing barriers as medics and staff tend to those injured.

Three patients were taken to Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Eileen Scahill said.

As of Thursday, one was in serious condition and the two others were in critical condition, the hospital said in a statement.
