What is the zipper ride deaths?

There have been a few incidents of deaths related to zipper rides, which are amusement park rides that consist of rows of seats attached to long rotating arms that spin and flip while the ride is in motion. These incidents have typically been caused by mechanical malfunctions or rider error.

One notable incident occurred in Tennessee in 2007, where a 14-year-old girl fell to her death from a zipper ride at a county fair. The ride had allegedly been operated beyond its intended capacity, causing the girl's restraint to fail and leading to her tragic death.

In another incident in Ohio in 2017, a man died after falling from a zipper ride at a county fair. The man, who was not wearing a seatbelt, slipped out of his seat while the ride was in motion, resulting in a fatal fall.

These tragic incidents serve as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and safety measures on amusement park rides, as well as the responsibility of riders to adhere to safety guidelines and regulations while enjoying these attractions.
