WASHINGTON (AP) - The manufacturer of an amusement park ridecalled the Yo-Yo is recalling it to repair defects.
There have been two accidents involving the Yo Yo ride in the
past couple of years. In May, one collapsed at a fair in
California, injuring 23 people. Two years earlier, another one at
Six Flags over Texas also malfunctioned, injuring nine.
The Yo-Yo ride has a series of metal arms extending from a
rotating hub. A chair is attached to the end of each arm by a
chain. As the hub turns and picks up speed, the arms and chairs
swing outward.
Federal safety officials say the ride's maker will give owners
and state regulators kits to help inspect and repair defective
rides, along with new maintenance guidelines.
