The Texas Blastoff Bungee Ride where riders are launched 150 feet into the air using bungee cords attached to two massive poles, like a giant slingshot malfunctioned. The bungee wires got tangled leaving a couple stranded 100 feet above the ground for hours on Monday night. Dallas Fire-Rescue was called to the park to save the riders. Temperatures at the time of the incident were still in the triple-digits. They were lowered to safety with no serious injuries, just some dehydration after being stuck in the air and heat for such a long period of time.
The Zero Gravity Thrill Amusement Park in Dallas, located near the intersection of Interstate-35E and Walnut Hill Lane, will have to determine whether or not the ride is safe.
Everyone is thankful that this was not an accident that caused any injuries or fatalities.
