New York amusement park ride malfunctions, leaves riders spinning in reverse for 10 minutes
abc7news.com
Guests at an amusement park were left traumatized after a ride malfunctioned and would not stop spinning.

This may be the craziest malfunction of an amusement ride I’ve ever heard of. The E-stop literally didn’t work and maintenance had to disconnect the power from the ride.

    Fail safe brakes aren’t necessary when the implications are not dangerous. Coasting to a stop is more than acceptable and safe on many rides.

        Just to be clear on the record, you are claiming to be an amusement park ride inspector in another state?

        Also, please cite a source for the claim that carousels make up the majority of amusement park injuries.
