BARTOW COUNTY, Ga. - A fun day at a Bartow County fair nearly turned tragic when a roller coaster almost tipped over near a crowd of visitors. Luckily, a group of fair goers sprang into action.
Whitney Castro posted the shocking footage on her Facebook page Friday. It lasts about 8 seconds and shows a group of fair goers holding up the ride in front of terrified onlookers.
“This is why you don't ride the fair rides!,” Castro wrote. “This roller coaster almost fell over with kids on it!!!!!! If it wasn't for some quick adults, this would have ended a lot worse. I am still shaking. My child was not on it thankfully. Nobody was hurt, a lot of scared little kids. This ride was being balanced and held up by boards.”
