10 hurt in crash on Knott's Berry Farm roller coaster - Polidicks

[quote][IMG]http://www.family-vacation-getaways-at-los-angeles-theme-parks.com/images/KnottsPonyExpress2.gif[/IMG]An accident at Knott's Berry Farm that injured 10 people Thursday night occurred when a roller coaster car failed to make it up an incline and rolled back, slamming into another car waiting in the station, a park spokeswoman said. The 10 people, ranging in age from 12 to 60, received minor back and neck injures and were transported in six ambulances to local hospitals, the Orange County Fire Authority said. The park remained open for its Halloween Haunt and was scheduled to close at its normal time of 1 a.m., spokeswoman Jennifer Blazey said. She said accident occurred shortly before 8 p.m. on the Pony Express ride. The ride "opened in 2008 and has never had any problems," Blazey said. She said it was unclear what caused the ride to malfunction. "We'll be investigating that," she said. -- Robert J.

[QUOTE=ducky5;25311266]Chances are they made them sign waivers. And if you thought that was bad... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EGHHjN0bQs[/media][/QUOTE] Just FYI waivers do jack shit against lawsuits. Really they're there as a formality. Also, this could be much MUCH worse for Knott's berry farm if it had been serious, it seems like only minor injuries were sustained.

Would have been better if it had been a headon collision with a car coming the opposite direction.

I used to go there so much as a little kid. I went this past summer also actually, they have some pretty fun rides there.

Not a lot of grape work on maintenance. The park's going to be in quite a jam over this one. I'm sure some juicy lawsuits are going to come from this.

My friends went to Knotts Berry Farm this weekend :ohdear:

[QUOTE=Ninjarooster;25316624]My friends went to Knotts Berry Farm this weekend :ohdear:[/QUOTE] They should be fine and hopefully they weren't on the ride at the time. Pun Time: Looks the funny farm finally ended up in loops.

Make pun = Recieve boxes. Wow, glad that's not me.

Pun overdose.
