Employee killed in fall from Ferris wheel

At approximately 1:50 p.m. on July 29, 1992, Employee #1 was one of two machine operators working on a Ferris wheel at the Washington County Fair. The second operator was controlling the Ferris wheel while Employee #1 was working on the exit platform. For some reason, the employee attempted to jump between two gondolas that were moving at full speed. His arms hooked over the side of the gondola, and he was lifted approximately 70 ft before the wheel reached a complete stop. He hung onto the gondola for a few seconds, then fell on top of the canopy of a gondola positioned directly beneath him. He slid off the canopy and fell to the ground. Emergency Medical Personnel pronounced the employee dead at the scene.
