Ride/Park Accidents

[pluk]

India - Girl scalped when her long hair is caught in a ferris wheel. Of all the safety instructions we get bombarded with I'm amazed having long hair properly tied up is not one we see prominently. This is a real risk on many rides.

Pakistan- 7 year old girl killed falling from train ride.

Heard a few sad tales of scarves and long hair on coasters on the Beach.
They did tighten up on the Big One for a while after an incident years ago.
Scariest I have seen, quite recently, on the south pier dodgems, was a girl with long frizzy hair suddenly having arcing above her head and her hair set alight.
The op quickly cut the power and her hair was out in a second or two by the passenger, but it was scary to watch.
Can be caused by thick dust and cobwebs apparently?
