New York amusement park ride malfunctions, leaves riders spinning in reverse for 10 minutes

Guests at an amusement park were left traumatized after a ride malfunctioned and would not stop spinning.

This may be the craziest malfunction of an amusement ride I’ve ever heard of. The E-stop literally didn’t work and maintenance had to disconnect the power from the ride.

  Just to be clear on the record, you are claiming to be an amusement park ride inspector in another state?
  
  Also, please cite a source for the claim that carousels make up the majority of amusement park injuries.
