I didn't say "Oh, look at what those awful carnies are doing," I just thought it might interest readers to know what's being said about the industry. Keep up with the buzz, whether the public loves or hates.

I have no illusions about the public hating us.They do.
I have no problem with RideAccidents.com. But it is not strictly about carnivals as your 1st post implied. Thank you for correcting that,I'm sure you meant no harm. PK |

Fair enough. It should be noted that I was quoting from the original post on Boingboing.com (usually a careful, accurate and useful site) - certainly an example of the way the public sees "carnival/park/fair" as all the same thing.

It's a relief(?) to read that the majority of the accidents were a result of riders being stupid, rather than equipment or operator failure.
Meanwhile, I'm off to Rye Playland--nice knowing all of you!

No one should ride a carny accidentally.

What's scary is that it looks like something happens nearly every day, somewhere.
