“The children involved were checked at the scene by first responders, no one was taken to hospital. The ride has been closed pending a full investigation by HSE starting Monday.”
Earlier this month a 6-year-old boy was left in “agony” and suffered bruising on his back and neck after a fairground ride allegedly started before the safety bar was put on him.
Tammy Bailey, 27, said her son – who was celebrating his sixth birthday – was “so shaken up” and will “never go on a ride again” after the terrifying incident at Funderworld in Bristol.
