Fair Ride Malfunctions

A second ride at the Washington County Fair closed following an incident Thursday night. The fairs Director, Wayne Hunnell said that one of the cars on the Skydiver ride malfunctioned and hit the deck that caused sparks to fly. The broken car was removed from the ride so they could safely operate the ride to let everyone off. Pennsylvania law requires rides pass inspection every 30 days or every time it is set up for a new event.  This is the second time inspectors have had to come to the fair this week. This incident follows one where a 3 year old hit her head on the Swing ride Wednesday.
