Things you don't want to happen before you are slingshotted into the air at a amusement park...



Per WFTV...
quote:
A slingshot-type ride in Panama City, Florida failed just before launching passengers high into the air.

Saturday evening, two occupants were seated in the “Vertical Accelerator” at the Cobra Adventure Park when one of the cords shredded.

After the incident, the ride was closed and the passengers were removed.

Reverse bungee rides, sometime referred to as slingshots, ejection seats or a catapult bungee fling riders hundreds of feet into the air on elastic ropes.

Officials at the park told WMBB that the ride is currently open and inspectors will be checking the ride.

Perhaps Florida should consider having someone other than the Department of Agriculture inspecting carnival rides. How does that make any sense.

Think about how fun that ride would have been, had the cord broken at the top of the shot.
