coaster_junky Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 a lady burst a blood vessel in her head and reported it to the park, and just for safety reasons they shut down the ride until they can figure out what caused it to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster_junky Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 well, when a burst blood vessel in your head can cause death, i think it might be best to figure out what caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 ^^The Ohio Department of Agriculture is responsible for inspecting rides. They are a government agency, hence the government is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 How long did the inspection take in '06? Because this inspection sure is taking a while, it's been closed for 7 days now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06jds377 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'm not even sure that SoB ran for the rest of the season after the 06 accident... I don't remember that well though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not know this since im going into 8th grade next year. Yes, agriculture is for plants. But the way I understand it, the way the Dept. of Agriculture inherited ride inspections is this (and someone please correct me if I've been misinformed regarding the history of how the Dept. of Agriculture got ride inspection duties): There are a large number of state/county/regional fairs and festivals. Lots of these fairs and festivals are agriculturally based. So the Dept. of Agriculture has a large interest in these fairs and festivals. And what, besides cows, pigs, sheep, pumpkins, tomatoes, etc. are at fairs? Rides! So the Dept. of Agriculture was placed in charge of inspecting these rides. The inspection duties spread to cover amusement parks as well.

The division has their own building at the Dept of Ag compound near my home in Reynoldsburg, OH. The old building actually had a sign on it that said "Ferris Wheel Inspection Division," but their duties have obviously grown since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
