Watch A Spinning Tower Fair Ride Drop 50 Feet To The Ground Out Of Nowhere

New Solar Powered Ferris Wheel Debuts On Santa Monica Pier SANTA MONICA, CA - MAY 28: The new $1.5 million solar powered Ferris wheel, which replaces the Pacific Wheel Ferris wheel auctioned off on eBay for $132,400 in April, stands over Pacific Park amusement park on the Santa Monica Pier on its opening night on May 28, 2008 in Santa Monica, California. The old 90-foot tall Pacific Wheel Ferris wheel appeared in 105 photo shoots, 71 television commercials, 69 television shows, 28 films and 13 music videos and carried more than 3 million riders130 feet above the ocean on its 20 gondolas over the past 12 years. Like its predecessor, the world's first solar-powered, it will be powered by the sun but the new wheel, with its160,000 lights, will be 75 percent more energy efficient.

This accidental drop happened at a fair in Mohali, India. I don’t know it its supposed to drop at all, but I do know it wasn’t supposed to drop like this. It falls over 50 feet and crashes hard into the ground with riders aboard. Everyone survived but some passengers including 5 kids, had pretty bad back and jaw injuries from slamming on the ground this hard.

I don’t know if India has less strict fair ride regulations than America, but I’m pretty sure I’ll avoid rides like this at travelling carnivals anyway. I’ve seen too many fair rides using duct tape. Rides should NEVER use duct tape for, pretty much anything!
