(April 10, 2009) - At a carnival inside the International Exposition Center in Cleveland, Ohio, a woman was struck by a ride that had started before she exited to the platform. The woman had boarded the Hurricane ride and been secured into her seat, but then changed her mind and asked to leave the ride. A ride operator unlatched her safety bar and and allowed her to exit the car. The ride started before the woman left the ride's path. She was struck and knocked to the floor. She suffered a broken pelvis, wrist, and collarbone; 4 broken ribs, and a punctued lung. She was hospitalized in intensive care and was listed in serious condition.
The ride operator is on administrative leave.
The ride was passed state and city inspections prior to the opening of the fair. It was temporarily closed until state inspectors deemed it safe for operation.
All I can say is... REVENGE OF THE LEGO HURRICANE!

Geeez. You'd think he would have been more careful, and made sure she was out of the way before starting the ride.
