Type your own comment hereThis is such a tragedy to hear. Something needs to be done about the safety of all amusement rides to help diminish some of the awful accidents. My prayers are with the family and friends. God Bless You!

Oh happy day! What a shame this lovely family outing and happy day turned into such a painful day. I'm a grandmother and spend many wonderful weekends making memories with my grandchildren and their parents. I'm sure this is just what this family was doing, spending cherished time together...remember the good times, not he bad...cherish your memories. My prayers are with the survivors and all the family.
Carnival/amusement park owners check yourself, your heart, and your equipment. There is just too many accidents and deaths lately.

I think it's just a tragedy that those people died and I'm praying for everyone that was involved and the families of the ones that passed. I'm also praying for all the people that wrote in their hateful comments because it shows that they are hurting inside and are desensitized .

i think they should make it a law to hire a person to do routine checks on all equipment of every ride every day or after so many rides have been like 100. prayers and thoughts to the family God Bless.
