It can be a wonderful feeling to spend the day out with friends or family at an amusement park. Loads of food, sideshows, unique things to buy, and, of course, a multitude of exciting rides and attractions to experience. People don't often think of the dangers at a park, though. It raises the question: What happens when you or a loved one are injured at an amusement park?
It is a frightening event, but one that does happen. Several parks around the country, including one in California, began retiring certain thrill rides in the wake of a tragedy that struck Ohio in 2017. A popular ride called Fireball suffered a catastrophic failure on the Ohio State Fair's opening day. The accident was responsible for seven injuries and one fatality.
