    Recent Amusement Park Accidents

    In July 2017, one person was killed and seven injured after a ride malfunctioned at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus.The Fire Ball ride, which NBC News reported “spins and swings passengers in a pendulum-like motion,” failed. As a result, seats broke off of the ride and bodies were hurled through the air.

    “The ride was going as normal, and then all of a sudden you see people flying out, and then the guy hit the emergency stop button, which then made the seat fly off and people flew off as well,”a witness told The TODAY Show.

    In 2003, an 8-year-old boy was electrocuted on a ride at an Ohio county fair. Greyson Yoe was shocked to death by a railing on a bumper-car ride at the local Lake County Fair. Officials with the Department of Agriculture who were tasked with maintaining the ride were charged criminally and also faced a wrongful death civil lawsuit from the boy’s surviving family members.

    Who Can be Sued for an Amusement or
    Theme Park Accident?

    Depending on the facts surrounding an amusement or theme park accident, multiple parties may be held liable in civil court:

    • Ride inspectors
    • Ride operators
    • Ride and park owners
    • Various subcontractors
    • Ride manufacturers or designers

    Filing your amusement park accident claim with La Justicia can be the best way to ensure that the responsible parties are held liable in incidents like these.

    How Often Do Amusement Park Accidents Happen?

    Although the amusement park industry assures the public that locations across the United States are safe, injuries occur on these rides at what NBC News referred to as a “startling frequency.” Some important amusement and theme park accident statistics are:

    • The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimated that 30,900 injuries caused by amusement park attractions were seen by hospital emergency departments in 2016 alone.
    • The Outdoor Amusement Business Association estimates thatthose riders injured are out of millions of people who visit carnivals, fairs, and festivals each year.
    • Every year, around 4,000 children are treated in emergency rooms for amusement park injuries, according to a study from Nationwide Children’s Hospital. That equals approximately 20 injuries each day of the summer.
    • Since 2010, the CPSC reports that there have been 22 fatalities caused by thrill rides, including the 2017 death related to the Ohio Fire Ball accident.
    • An estimated 4.5 amusement ride-related deaths per year occurred between 1987 and 2000
    • 52 deaths associated with amusement park rides (3.7 per year) occurred between 1990 and 2004.
    • In 2001, three amusement park accident deaths were recorded.

    o Two amusement park deaths occurred in 2002.

    o Three theme park deaths occurred in 2003.

    With amusement park accidents happening regularly at locations across the nation, many victims are senselessly injured or killed every year due to various forms of negligence. Those victims deserve justice, and filing an amusement park accident claim with La Justicia can help ensure that your rights are protected and financial compensation is obtained.

     

    Why DoMost Amusement
    Park Accidents Happen?

    • Mechanical failures: Similar to the Fire Ball tragedy, cables breaking, rides becoming stuck, reinforcements collapsing, and restraints snapping are just some examples of how ride mechanisms can fail.
    • Operator error: Not following the safety guidelines established by government agencies is a common occurrence at theme parks. Health warnings, age and height requirements, and general safety guidelines should all be followed by amusement park ride operators.
    • Design flaw: Despite safety features, some rides are designed poorly and expose riders to a heightened chance of suffering an injury or even death.
    • Collisions/crashes: Rides can strike other riders, walls, objects, etc. Additionally, depending on the type of ride, crashes with other patrons can occur.
    • Structure collapses/failures: Rides may be years or even decades old, and corrosion, rust, and lack of maintenance can all cause failures.
    • Seat ejections: Seatbelts and safety devices aren’t always enough to keep riders from being thrown from fast and often dangerous rides.
    • Rider error: In some cases, riders do not follow guidelines or safety instructions from ride operators and park employees. Injuries commonly occur as a result.
