Not a good story this, rather nasty accident in a knock-off disko ride in Chennai on Wednesday (11th).
Seems the riders/staff (the guy killed was a park worker) were being forced to "test" the ride after the park was SBNO for a while after the recent floods - and the disko bit appears to have just come off the track / broken up - ugh, pretty horrible. (theres video on these links - not gruesome but pretty unpleasant as you see the disk crashing). Park owner has (no kidding) been arrested.

Don't ride the dodgy knock-offs people ; and don't ride them as surrogate test dummies either.

Pretty lucky generally.gavin said:Kishkinta Theme Park
This place was closed.
I couldn’t actually see the park from the entrance area, but the gates were closed and a security told us that it hadn’t been open since the floods. There were only two crappy coasters there anyway, and I’d been pretty lucky that this was the only place closed considering what had happened just a few weeks previously.
