State orders amusement ride shut down
Associated Press - August 17, 2007 4:24 PM ET
BOSTON (AP) - The Massachusetts Department of Public Safety orders an immediate halt to the operation of all Sizzler amusement park rides in the state.
The move follows a bulletin from the ride's manufacturer that seat belts should be installed to improve safety.
A 38-year-old man was killed in 2004 when a Sizzler broke apart during a church fair in Shrewsbury.
At the time, state public safety officials determined the accident was caused by loose and undersized nuts and bolts used on the seat.
Wisdom Industries, which makes the Sizzler, says they issued the latest service bulletin in response to "incidents of patrons coming out of their seats."
Massachusetts public safety officials say Sizzler rides in Massachusetts can not return to service until the seat belts are installed.
