On Monday a 5 year old kid was injured on a ride at the Xscape amusement park. The child was riding the spinning tea cups ride when he was injured. He is now in critical condition at Riley Hospital. He fractured his skull on the ride. Xscape officials have not released much information to this point. However the tea cup ride has been shut down at the park.
This is a sad story and one that could have been avoided. The park's permit for the ride has not be renewed since December of 2008. There is also a worker from the park that claims to have warned the park about a defficiency on the ride. It is clear that the ride should not have been running at the time of the accident. The family will most likely file a lawsuit, and the company will have to pay for their mistake. They did not make their customers their top priority in this situation.
