Description
Eight people were stranded upside down for several hours on a roller coaster at a county festival in Wisconsin, local media outlets reported.
According to WSAW, the passengers were riding a roller coaster at the Forest County Festival in Crandon, Wisconsin Sunday when the ride apparently became stuck.
The fire department was called for a "tipped-over carnival ride" and responded with gear appropriate for rescuing people hanging high off the ground. Another local station, WMTV, reported that firefighters from three counties responded to the incident.
“A rescue mission is not something that’s quick,” Firefighter EMT Erica Kostichka told WSAW. “Life safety is number one.”
Seven of the eight passengers were children.
