The Orange County Fair and Knott’s Berry Farm have voluntarily shut down a ride similar to one that malfunctioned at the Ohio State Fair with deadly results.
A man was killed and seven other people were injured at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus when they were thrown Wednesday night from “The Fire Ball,” a ride that swings back and forth like a pendulum and spins in the air.
Bystanders captured video of the ride just as it broke apart and passengers were heard screaming as they were thrown to the ground.
Ohio officials say they did not know what caused the ride to break apart and that the investigation was ongoing.
