Bet she was under the height limit.
Mention of prayer at all in the article is conspicuously absent. I wonder if that’s the standard now in New Jersey.
Looks like a Scrambler, I’ve ridden those hundreds of times.
One would almost have to try to get flung out.
Huh? I don’t ever remember a news article mentioning prayer. Even forty years ago or more. When did prayer become part of a news article?
Never place your 10 year old child’s life in the hands of a carnival worker.
“that’s the standard now in New Jersey”
that’s the standard now for Liberals
“Looks like a Scrambler“
Or it could be the Mixer.
Unless one is very small and on the inside.
“Height Requirements and Rider Restrictions
Must be 36” tall or taller to ride.
Under 48” requires an adult.”

You want prayers mentioned? Read your Bible. News articles are not required to carry a religious message of ANY religion.
Prayer? On CNN???
I blame Newton.
Prayers up for this little girl and her family.
That said, I hate those rides with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns!
My sister and I were on some sort of ride once and she was so scared she screamed so much they had to stop the ride, LOL!
Let’s see:
Open Water where I cannot see the shore - Nope
Caving - Nope
Grasshoppers - Nope
Crazy Wild Carny Rides - Nope
Carnies - Double Nope!
If I’m at the Fair, I’m in the animal barns. ;)
Always make sure the bar locks.
“I blame Newton.”
LOL!
Don’t forget our pal, Christiaan Huygens! ;)
My wife and kids always got mad at me because I would never let them ride the carnival rides at the fair.
I always told my wife; these rides are taken down in a matter of hours after the fair closes, are put on trucks and driven hours or days to another fair and are put back up in a matter of hours by people with a high school or less education. How well do you think they are put together?
My wife and daughter went to Disneyland Paris this past summer.
A photo was taken of the two by Disneyland while they were riding on a roller-coaster.
My daughter is pictured as totally relaxed and enjoying the ride with a nice smile.
My wife is sitting next to her screaming and hanging on for dear life.
It’s the funniest photo I have ever seen either in person or online.
