Investigation Summary
A large Ferris wheel was being set up at a carnival. The Ferris wheel contacted a 7200-volt overhead power line, severing it. The power line fell onto the tracks of a roller coaster ride. Three employees who were apparently in contact with the roller coaster received burns and electric shocks as a result of the contact. One suffered third-degree burns and had her right arm amputated at the shoulder. The second employee suffered third-degree burns on his right leg at the knee. The third employee received first- and second-degree burns. The employees were all hospitalized for their injuries.
