I think that's the same one I took my little one on this afternoon... 
(Likes the waltzer but goes reverse 1/2 way through?) Hope full and speedy recovery for the girl involved. Do you know if it was the fair at fault? I must admit i was looking dubiously at the nuts and bolts once in the seat.

Too early to lay fault, although police are currently investigating and ride is obviously shut.

It's amazing how after the accident people decide that they felt unsafe. Stable door and all that.

Not really, I've been on fair ground rides and attractions all over the world and often come off them feeling i did not feel safe on it but no one was hurt on any of them since I've been on as far as i know.
You don't jump up and scream for a policeman each time it happens.

Isn't that the point of most of those rides?

argus reporting girl in coma. hope she recovers

I'll look after the skirt
Horrible news. Ever since the age of about 12 when I saw three lads fall from a big wheel, I've nearly always given any kind of extreme ride a wide berth. Accidents may be rare, but having witnessed one plus hearing of incidents like the one in Worthing, I've no desire to pay £3 or whatever it costs to get thrown about all over the place and get off at the end feeling I want to throw up.
Here's wishing the poor girl a really speedy recovery.

If the Herald link is correct and she suffered injuries to her wrist and ankle, I doubt she'd be in a coma. All the best to her all the same.

That's no real guide, is it?
One of the work Twitter accounts I deal with put out a fairly dull one liner yesterday about something of no real consequence that we'd dealt with.
Within minutes, the Argus were on the phone to the media office about it, and by the afternoon had a full page piece as a leading news item on their website. Was gobsmacked at how desperate they must be for local "news" to even bother mentioning it let alone writing a story on it.
