The girl reached out over the side of her seat and grabbed the spotlight pole, which i turn pulled here out of her seat. Than the spotlight pole fell over and h...

Re: Ali Baba accident in UK

And that's the reason why you shouldn't be overloading your fair rides! Overloading not only means you are wearing out major parts on your ride, you are also likely to cause a malfunction, which could put the riders lives in jeapordy.

Anyone else taken pics of the unpacking? My father told me that I wasn't wearing a visibility suit yesterday and also told me to refrain from going to the showground while the show is being set up.
