Girl Falls From Amusement Park Ride
Action around the 50 sec mark. A woman fell from a fairground ride in Mexico and was then hit by the rotating gondola as it flipped round. The woman was seen dangling from the ride in Ciudad Juarez as it swung upwards. As she dropped down, the axle continued to flip round and the gondola clattered into the woman, knocking her backwards off the ride's platform. Video capturing the moment she fell showed the woman before the accident sitting on the fairground ride as it repeatedly rotated 360 degrees. When the pendulum ride held its passengers upside down, the woman's body dropped and she grabbed hold of the ride to stop herself from hitting the floor. But as it then swung back down the woman was hit by the descending ride and was dragged along the floor. The momentum of the ride then pushed her off the stand at speed, sending her flying backwards. At the end of the video, the woman could be seen getting up and standing at the side of the attraction watching as it continued to rotate. The operators tried to slow the ride down after realising an accident had taken place. |

Re: Girl Falls From Amusement Park Ride
I watched before reading about it and thought she was stuck on the underside as it was going back and forth being smeared against the platform each time it swung. It was a good thing it knocked her off and not the Final Destination scenario I thought I had seen ![]() |

That Latina just used up 8 of her 9 lives... Probably too chunky / porky to be held by the poorly maintained restraints. |

Re: Girl Falls From Amusement Park Ride
I came very close to having a similar fate on a ride called The Looping Starship at Six Flags Astroworld in Houston, Texas back in the 80’s.

Re: Girl Falls From Amusement Park Ride
I will never put my life into the hands of machinery maintained by third world carnies...that includes Mexican ziplines...and even bungie-jumps in the US. That said, both of my Hondas are being recalled (again) for lethal air bags. I'll just stick to nice safe kayak fishing for large ocean predators... |

Maybe that was the bigger version of golf ball automatic pin and tee off machine.
