Fairground Ride Crash in Edinburgh: Children Escape Serious Injury
A family's terrifying fairground ride experience in Edinburgh ended without serious injury when a car detached from a waltzer ride and collided with another. Kevin McNulty, a father of three, witnessed the incident unfold as his children, aged 13, 12, and 7, were on the ride at the Galactic Carnival fairground in Wester Hailes. "It was terrifying," McNulty said. "The ride was going full pelt when their car just flew off." One of his children was filming the ride at the time, capturing the moment the car detached and crashed. City Council and fairground organizers are investigating the incident. Despite the frightening experience, McNulty expressed relief that his children were not seriously hurt. The incident highlights the importance of regular safety checks on fairground rides.
