5 Tragic Amusement Park Accidents Caught on Tape & Spotted In Real Life! Description: Theme Parks are meant to be places where families and friends can enjoy each other with food, shows, and entertaining rides, in a dreamlike little paradise away from the stresses of the real world. Sometimes fun times and heavy machinery don’t mix. When something goes wrong, these dreams can become nightmares. These are five tragic theme park accidents caught on camera. These videos contain graphic images of adults and children being violently hurt or even killed. Some viewers may find these video triggering. You have been warned. Let’s begin! 5.) Drop Tower Ride Ends in Terror https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFhNuhyFfyE This video captures the moments after a drop tower theme park ride has malfunctioned. Workers are trying to rescue the riders trapped within their seats from a crane. Things go from bad to worse when the brakes holding the drop tower malfunction, and the ride drops right on the crane and the workers within. The crane begins to buckle and bend under the pressure, before it breaks. The ride falls as the two rescue workers in the crane plummet stories down to the ground below. 4.) Swing Ride Collapses on Riders http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b54_1345688527 This Japanese video captures a Ride Swing malfunctioning. When it begins, the riders are swinging happily, blissfully unaware of the what’s about to happen. Without warning, the wheel that suspends the riders comes off center, dropping riders as one side behind the pillar crashes to the ground below. The side of the wheel in the foreground crashes to the floor, landing on top of a young boy. The force of the crash launches him flipping into the air as people scream. Despite injuries, the boy and other riders allegedly survived the accident. 3.) Merry-Go-Round Crashes Flips Onto Riders http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fb5_1469590287 This video captures a merry-go-round style ride in India where riders stand facing outward as the merry-go-round rocks up and down on its rails. At a first glance, the ride already seems unsafe as the large and heavy wheel spins and rocks on a small, rolling base. Seemingly the only thing keeping the riders on the merry-go-round is their own sense of balance and ability to hold onto the rails in front of them. You might expect one of the riders to fall off the ride and into the rail, or to be violently thrown out of frame. Things take a turn however when, the entire merry-go-round topples to the side, landing on its side before rolling onto passengers as observers scream before the cameraman runs away to escape the carnage. 2.) Carnival Worker Struck and Killed by Own Ride http://theync.com/crazy/amusement-park-worker-is-killed-by-a-ride-when-he-just-stands-in-front-of-it.htm Some people tend to become careless when they work with and around dangerous machinery. When the threat of death or dismemberment is an everyday reality, you might become a bit jaded. One such worker’s mistake cost him his life when he became struck by the ride he was controlling. We have no idea why the worker had stepped in front of the ride, though we may imagine that he’d done it before if he was being recorded. Perhaps he was playing a game of chicken to entertain the guests, or maybe he was flirting with death. He walks backward as the pendulum ride approaches, but does not step away, and is demolished by the high speed collision with the piece of swinging metal the size of a small car. 1.) Russian Boy Dies Crawling out of Ferris Wheel http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=14d_1209078862 It’s a general rule that children should not be left unsupervised when riding theme park rides, and this video from Russia demonstrates exactly why that is. When the video begins, a boy is hanging from his carriage on a ferris wheel. The ride itself seems stable, so we may imagine what kind of monkey shines the boy must have been getting into to land himself in this situation. The boy’s vice-like steel fingers allow him to hang and preserve himself for more than a minute in an astounding feat of human perseverance. When the boy reaches the top of the ferris wheel, you think that he might just make it long enough to reach the bottom of the wheel to safely dismount, or at least far enough to maybe drop onto a carriage below. However he loses his grip and plummets to the concrete below, hitting every steel bar on the way down. He did not survive his daredevil act.
