Stuck In Mid-Air: Riders Hanged For Several Hours

A roller coaster malfunctioned during the Wisconsin Festival, endangering passengers. The Forest County Festival roller coaster in Crandon broke down, keeping passengers upside down for at least three hours, according to NBC News.

Social media showed rescuers climbing the roller coaster to liberate those hung from it. The ride was stuck upright due to a mechanical malfunction, according to Crandon Fire Department Captain Brennan Cook. Captain Cook told WJFW-TV that the ride had been inspected by Wisconsin on-site, but no specifics were given.

All passengers were safely evacuated and sent to the hospital. This roller coaster accident follows a series of media-covered incidents. After a visitor detected a fracture on the supporting pillar, an American amusement park had to stop one of its roller coasters a few days earlier.

A moving automobile with occupants shifted the support beam due to structural deterioration. In their official statement, Carowinds admitted that the Fury 325, which crosses the North and South Carolina state lines, is one of their highest and longest rides.
