Amusement Ride Accidents

"Rainbow collapses; at least 20 injured"

(Tuesday, July 15, 2008) - At Liseberg theme park in Göteborg, Sweden, between 20 and 30 people were injured when a ride called the Rainbow collapsed. Thirty-six people were on board the ride, which consists of a rotating vertical arm with a platform connected to one end. Some riders were thrown from the platform, but none suffered any life-threatening injuries. Three people were hospitalized with injuries including rib and pelvis fractures.



The blog below tells, in great details, every amusement ride accident dating back to 1998. There are roller coaster derailments, inflatable bounce castles blowing away with people still inside, and the county fair rides that were just not put together right, it’s all there.

I promise that you will be amazed and a little creeped out by how many of these "incidents" occur but you never hear a word.
