A Dia de los Niños event turned tragic when a 16-year-old girl was killed and a 15-year-old girl was injured after they were thrown from a carnival ride Friday evening at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in East El Paso, police said.
There were three girls in the ride and two were ejected shortly before 7 p.m. in the church parking lot at 10970 Bywood Drive, a few blocks east of Lee Treviño Drive, police spokesman Sgt. Enrique Carrillo said.

A check of sites listing roller coaster accidents found several deaths on “Sizzler” rides in cities including Hope, Ark.; Austin; and Durango, Colo.

Are you telling me carnival rides that spend half their time on 18 wheelers aren't safe?

Shocked. Shocked I tell ya.

More commonly known as "The Scrambler" for us Fun Fair Park alumni. Damn. I loved that ride.





Deceased teen from the article.

Was there foul lay involved? (Like the girl was standing up or too fat?)

Yeah, uh, I'm going to hazard to say that 14 and 15 year olds aren't getting thrown from the scrambler ride unless they're screwing around in extreme dereliction of some very basic safety precautions.

There is no doubt a police officer sabotaged this ride.
