Tennessee Ferris Wheel, 2016
In 2016, three girls, ages 6, 10, and 16, were riding on a Ferris wheel basket at the Tennessee County Fair. Now usually, Ferris wheels aren’t the most terrifying rides at a theme park. In fact, they’re generally safe. But that day, the girls’ basket overturned approximately 90 degrees because of a mechanical failure. Two of the girls inside suffered serious injuries when they fell out, and one of them had a traumatic brain injury.
