Big dummies flew off Jersey Shore rollercoaster and crashed on hotel roof
During a test ride of the GaleForce rollercoaster at Playlands Castaway Cove in Ocean City, New Jersey, two dummies flew out of their seats and crash-landed on the roof of a nearby hotel. The theme park's vice president Brian Hartley blamed the accident on the dummies and says that the rollercoaster is "100 percent safe." From NBC10:
Hartley said the dummies had leaks that went undetected and they lost their mass and shape, causing them to fall.
Obviously its not something that would ever happen with a person in it, Hartley said. You know you dont lose rigidity in a person. The lap bar comes down. Youre secured in there.
The rollercoaster remains in operation.
