Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:40 p.m. on March 21, 1991, Employee #1 was working for a traveling carnival as a co-operator of a ride called the Himalaya. The Himalaya consists of 24 small carriages that move horizontally in a circular path, rotating individually at approximately 14 revolutions per minute. In an effort to impress onlookers, Employee #1 attempted to stand up in a carriage seat while the ride was in motion. He was propelled outward by centrifugal force and struck a canopy support post. Employee #1 sustained severe head injuries and died shortly after.
