Watch: Michigan Carnival Ride Gets Out Of Control & Almost Tips Over
What was supposed to be a fun day for carnival-goers turned into a complete nightmare as one the rides got out of control!
A terrifying video that has been obtained by TMZ and ABC7 captured the moment a fairground ride at a Michigan festival almost ended in tragedy as the entire construction seemed to come loose while people were on it!
As some were riding the Magic Carpet ride at the Traverse City’s National Cherry Festival on Thursday night, it suddenly appeared to detach from its support with the entire unit almost toppling over. Things got pretty intense as even the operator couldn’t control the ride. While other onlookers screamed in shocked, others rushed to the base of the ride in an attempt to provide a counterbalance, and thankfully their quick thinking worked.
Although the passengers of the ride were startled, thankfully no one was injured.
The news site reports that the ride is no longer being used and has been sent back to manufacturers. As of right now, the company has not released a statement.
