ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - The state is investigating the malfunction of a slingshot-type carnival ride in Anchorage that left two men dangling high feet above the ground.
Authorities say the ride known as the “Ejection Seat” malfunctioned when one cable snapped. The men were rescued by Anchorage firefighters.
Police have said one of the men sustained injuries that appeared to be non-life-threatening.
KTUU (https://is.gd/HBV4fC) reports the incident is being investigated by the mechanical inspection section of the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The department’s acting director, Al Nagel, says the ride will be completely inspected before it is allowed to be used again.
