‘I broke my jaw in half’: Accidents raise questions about funfair safety
Recent funfair accidents, like Jade Harrison's incident at Hull Fair in 2019, have highlighted safety concerns within the amusement industry. A BBC Panorama investigation revealed thousands of injuries at funfairs in England, Scotland, and Wales over the last decade, raising questions about regulatory inspections of rides. The report also exposes issues with ride inspector David Geary's company, DMG Technical, which was implicated in accidents and received multiple safety warnings. The industry is facing calls for improved safety measures and stricter oversight to prevent further incidents.
