Originally posted by spacemountainfan619Anyone remember the accident that occurred at the Del Mar Fair about 20 years ago when a man and a young child were flung from a decoupled car and landed on the track, the train then ran over the 2 killing them, that happened the day after I rode the same ride. Crazy!
wow, it is amazing what you can find online

quote:"It was coming to the end of the ride when a coupling device came apart, which released the end car from the rest of the train," she said. "It stopped abruptly and its occupants fell to the track."
Beaulieu told fair officials that he lowered himself to the ground--about an 8-foot drop--and then helped his nephew to the ground, Scholfield said."
But still, they were fortunate...sad this man died though...
