Heard about that,and after 7 operations ,let's hope the insurance takes all that into consideration,when paying out.

They try to make them more exciting ,and they become more dangerous ,so it results in this ,people crippled for life.

I think this accident has put a lot of people off these rides

I worked on Adlams Fair in southampton when i was young

The ride must be badly designed if it allows operators to crash cars together. It should be scrapped.
