4. The Human Catapult
Slingshot and catapult rides have become increasingly popular among adrenaline junkies seeking thrill and excitement. These rides subject riders to extreme forces, which can sometimes lead to fainting. In 2015, a dangerous incident took place on a catapult ride in Wisconsin when a cable snapped just moments before launch. This catastrophic failure prompted an immediate shutdown of the ride, preventing potential disaster and ensuring the safety of the riders. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of rigorous safety measures and regular maintenance in amusement park attractions to prevent accidents and protect the well-being of visitors.
