My four-year-old son was riding the bumper cars at the Nebraska State fair, and his face hit the bar in front of him and his front 2 teeth were knocked out.

Had kids at local bounce house and playground establishment. There is a bounce house that has columns. That can be pushed to invert them creating a tube or hole inside bounce house . The particular one is Magic jump 6 in 1 Fun House Combo Wet or Dry bounce house. At [REDACTED] . My kid had fell head first and was stuck up to almost his ankles . Luckly my daughter and other kids come and told me I pulled him out and thank god he was ok. The column should never happened to be able to do that they needed some material at bottom to keep them from being pushed in . Kids could bounce around a kid being stuck could cause a broken neck suffocation ect I was told that the staff was notified about the hole being created and when I went to staff I was told they were aware of this happening and a kid should not be pressing the column down to make a hole or tube. You can clearly see its been done a bunch due to the material starting to deteriate around bottom. To make matters worse this establishment told me only a teacher or owner could have it shut down for inspection. This is very concerning that they wouldnt even rope off or even walk over to look at the issue . That shows they didnt even care about the kids safety . There were 3 staff there one of them could have at least looked at it . I told them if someone got injured or sued them for negligence to have proper safety that could cause them issues. I hope someone would take it to heart and look into this . Before a child gets seriously injured or even worse death

Caller is reporting an incident with an amusement ride (super shot). He stated that it was operating at the Frederick County fair. He stated that part of seat of the ride ride broke off midway up in the air with a person inside. The person was thrown out about 40 feet to the ground. She was seriously injured and had to be taken to Winchester Hospital in VA. Caller stated that ride should have been inspected and certified for safety but instead an incident occurred which caused injuries.

On Thursday, June14, 2018 about 7:30pm my son broke both wrists while play in the foam play arena at Denver Elitch Gardens. He climb up on the top of one of the walk ways and fell through safety netting. The safety netting was old and not maintained for a child play area. Kids climb on everything and I have seen adults crawl over safety netting in other play area's. There should have been no reason a 56 pound child should have fallen through safety netting in a child play area.

This was River city carnival...in south Sioux city, ne. If this is the one that's behind [REDACTED] DO NOT GO THERE! The rides are falling apart! [REDACTED]. My sister had to hold onto my son for dear life on one of the rides because he almost fell off. It was wiping them around so hard and fast they have bruises! My 8 it old son was terrified and my sister even got scared. They begged and screamed the guy to let them off and he wouldn't. Even a lady on the ground was telling him to stop the ride on the ground and he wouldn't! Her girls were on there to! They were suspended in the air with insignificant restraint leaning forward. She couldn't even text me for help..she tried! One of the hoses popped off one of the kid rides while we were there! The games are as crappy as they come as well! $25 for a death trap and food poisoning.

My 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter were on a Relix Coaster VR machine at Strike and Spare in [REDACTED]. The machine is in a gated area and an attendant came over from the skating rink to put them on the machine. As the ride ended my son removed his virtual reality headset and when he did the cords wrapped around his neck very tight and began to choke him. My daughter alerted us that he was stuck(we were standing on the outside of the gate saying goodbyes to family members). When we turned to look at them we seen the cord around his neck and he was turning blue because it was so tight his airway was blocked. As we tried to get into the gate to get to him we yelled for help. The gate was hard to open. When we reached him, it took my sister-in-law and myself pulling from the front to give him space to breathe but it was still not loose enough to get off of him. Several people were trying to get the cords loosened and to quickly release it to get off his neck we had to cut through a black cable and a small metal cable. We were treated very poorly by the staff and my son was never offered medical treatment. He was blue in the face from his airways being blocked for 30 seconds or more! In the craziness of the moment I did not take pictures but returned the next day to take some, however, the metal cable that was once on there had since been removed off the remaining black cable and the metal cable and black cable that had to be cut to release my son was also removed. I am wondered if the metal cable should have never been on the machine. We were told by staff that the machine is usually always staffed with an attendant, but since they are short staffed they can't do that right now. When asked why the machine was still operating if it should be staffed, they said that is up to corporate, not them. My son almost lost his life while celebrating his 5th birthday! Personally I believe the cords are way too long and should have never been made long enough to go around s

I visited the Cumming County Fair and Festival on October 5, 2013. The rides at the fair were owned and managed by James H. Drew Exposition. Around 8:30 p.m. I rode the Pirate Ship ride. This is a swinging ship style ride. After tickets for myself and my girlfriend, we were told to get on the platform and get in line up the stairs. There were people beside us the length of the platform as well as tightly behind us. Several guests were on the stairs with the people in front being about 12 inches from the swinging ride. Behind them, several more people were lined up in multiple rows while the ride swung one foot from our face. My concern was that someone could easily trip and get killed as the ride swings back down. I figured this was a simple case of poor training for the workers. After the ride, I went to a ticket stand and asked to speak to a supervisor. I was directed toward a white trailer for their office. Outside of it, I found a lady worker who I again asked to speak to a supervisor. I was told to speak to a man who introduced himself as [REDACTED]. I told him my concern, and he said "that is the way we do it." I again expressed that it was unsafe. He didn't care. Finally, I said I think it needed to be reported. He said do whatever you want to do. The management did not listen to my safety concern and I am worried that somebody could be critically hurt or killed.
