Accidents in Amusement Parks
30 Jul
Now I can understand my husbands fear of riding any form of rides in Amusement Parks. He said he is afraid something will happen and especially whe is not the one in control. Although as a child he tried all sorts of rides in Tivoli (Amusement Park) but when he grew older he will not even dare to try. I’m got an annual entrance card in Tivoli but I don’t want to try any rides because I think I’m gonna die. But Tivoli in Copenhagen is very cozy and dreamylike so I like to go there once in a while especially watching the fireworks in the closing time and the free concerts.
Lately there’s so many accidents that happened in Denmark and in Sweden this month of July alone .
Here are some of the accidents with serious casualties.
- Tivoli Friheden in Aarhus Denmark- July 4, 2008. The cobra Ride which just newly opened roller coaster derailed and crashed on the ground before the eyes of shocked witnesses who were waiting for their turn. There were 4 teenagers who suffered serious injuries.
- Sommerland Amusement Park, Faarup Denmark – July 13, 2008. An 8-year-old boy is in a coma after a door on the Teacup ride.
- Sommerland Amusement Park, Faarup Denmark- July 9, 2008. Two girls were washed out formtheir seat after a photocell problem created a huge wave.
- Liseberg Amusement Park, Goteborg, Sedene
- July 15, 2208 – 36 we’re injured when the Rainbow collapse. I found this picture from one of the forum. - It’s so scary.

Note that these Amusement park we’re checked by the authorities but accidents happened anyway. There’s a lot of discussion and criticisms especially from the media and in the Parliament about the safety requirements of amusement parks but no concrete proposal yet.
