11.5.15 - The season has come to and end for many parks. We now look through all the injury submissions as well as go over our own notes from visits we made through the year.

It has been quite eventful, despite the fact we did not update our webpage much. We have worked on several small ride injury cases which allowed us to showcase our ride injury information. This has in turn led to bigger opportunities, which allows us to assist those of you injured on rides, as well as shoot down false injury claims.

Also wanted to thank all the line employees who assisted us this year. You've made a world of difference. While the parks you work at may not like the information you have provided us, know it will be put to good use!

1.13.15 - At Pinks Family Carnival in Tuncurry, Australia, a 10-year-old boy was thrown from the Devil's Dance ride and fell some 10 feet to the ground.

Apparently after the ride started, his harness malfunctioned. The boy was thrown from his seat and was able to grab hold of a section of the ride. The operator noticed the boy hanging and he shut the ride down and then tried to catch him as he fell.

The boy was rushed to a local hospital and was later released. He did not sustain any serious injuries.

The ride was shut down and investigators are trying to figure out what went wrong.
