she's going to save a fortune on shoes over the years

it's one of those things you'd probably laugh about when your older

wonder if the fairground are going to have to pay millions.. at the end of the day prices
will go up and the taxpayer will end up 'footing' the bill

What a horrible accident. Hopefully they can reattach her feet.
If they cant then she will probably get millions more in compensation.

6 should be sufficient.

Fairgrounds seem to be a dying breed, literally! I remember when the most dangerous thing about the visiting fair was the possibility of being kicked by the exotic animal ie: the donkey.

The maddest thing I saw recently was a ride on Brighton pier which whipped you into the air over the sea. The sign, contract, on this ride was that in high winds the management is not responsible for potential accidents and you ride at your own risk, due to I presume freak winds. I guess there is no fun in a fairground ride without the potential for getting your feet cut off, or drowing in choppy high sea winds. Go figure.

Well done all. Only 7 years.Saw alot tbh. Sadly the humour in some posts is lost me.

Poor child lost her feet.

Never known to be a sentimental but come on.

And i have the lowest morals of the lot of you !

A few years back I was in a haunted house ride in a park in Madrid.

You sat in this big long room with a table laid out for a wedding party... the lights go dim and the bride as a skeleton starts talking to you (it was all in Spanish, so I don't know what it was about) But the seats and the walls are hydraulic and start to shift in a peculiar way to give the impression that the whole room is getting taller...

A pretty cool effect but apparently about a year or so ago a person wasn't seated properly when the ride began and had their head severed.... Now this wouldn't have been quick... this thing moves very, very slowly. And everyone was looking on and screaming and of course the ride operators just thought everyone was enjoying the scary ride as you're supposed to be screaming.

OMG I was on that ride! - The Warner Brothers Movie Park in Madrid! I went there and on that ride several times last year!

/me checks that head is still attached...

Ewwww!

Any Pics of the feet?

I laughed out loud at the original link.

She'll be set for life. They'll reach some astronomical agreement before she sues. I work for a CBS station and there was all kinds of chatter about this today on the Wire.

Deliverance · 23-06-2007 09:22PM

I think given the choice I would keep the feet attached at all times. Besides the defending lawyers could argue that she had her feet on the ground at the time of the accident.

Pigman II · 23-06-2007 09:33PM

When I got up there, the lady she was just sitting there, and she didn't have no legs.

Hmmm, dey done good to get such expert testermoany der.

BTW, has Paul McCartney been made aware of the new talent?

Horrible to hear but (with the exception of Roundtower 2!) I'm surprised there haven't been puns about how she was legless.

/ tastelessness ends, really felt sick for laughing at it

She's just gonna have to find a way and hop to it.

Kinetic^ · 27-10-2008 02:43PM

She's going to need support for the rest of her life as she won't be able to stand on her own 2 feet.

antodeco · 27-10-2008 02:59PM

You say that, but there are times for apathy and there are times for when you have to stand up and be counted.

Shacklebolt · 27-10-2008 03:19PM

Id make a pun as well but I might end up foot in mouth.

(I know that was crap)

Sharpshooter · 27-10-2008 03:31PM

Toes are awful puns , l am sure we could do better if we looked at it from a different ankle.....

If it happens again, consumers will vote with their feet and the place will go out of business.
