A state agency has launched an investigation into why Knott’s Berry Farm’s Sky Cabin attraction became stuck last month 96 feet in the air, stranding 20 passengers and one operator and requiring a rescue by Orange County Fire Authority firefighters.
Representatives of Cal/OSHA, a state occupational safety and health agency, have gathered all of the physical evidence pertinent to the investigation, said Frank Polizzi, an agency spokesman.
The full investigation should take two to three months and reveal the cause of the stoppage. The report should also show if Knott’s could have prevented the ride’s breakdown.
Cal/OSHA has not cited the theme park for any wrongdoing, Polizzi said.
In the interim, Knott’s has voluntarily shut down the ride, in which a cabin ascends 300 feet into the air and spins slowly.
