Roller coasters: – Hang upside down for several hours

On Sunday, July 2, the roller coaster stops at the Forest County Festival located in Crandon Township.

Technical error

according to Fox News A total of eight people were trapped upside down on a roller coaster for at least three hours before a rescue team finally came to the rescue.

– The only thing we do know is that there was a technical error that caused it to stall, Brennan Cook, a Crandon Township firefighter, assumes.

The fire station was nearby

Crandon Fire Station is 13 kilometers from the festival, but according to the TV channel WSOC-TV The reason was that people were stuck upside down for so long, as the rescue crews did not have the equipment to carry out the rescue.

“The Crandon Fire Department didn’t have a ladder, which is why they needed our help,” says Adam Finn, a firefighter with Antigo Fire Station.

Antigo Fire Station is 7.5 km away.

The eight passengers are said to have been disembarked and taken to hospital for evaluation.
