A group of 28 people were trapped on a ride at Oaks Amusement Park in Southeast Portland, Oregon, on the park’s first day open for the season, according to Portland Fire and Rescue. Evie Yannotta, 14, was among those who were trapped on the ride. She said the malfunction left her with PTSD and she won't be returning to an amusement park anytime soon.

I still don't understand what possesses people to go on these contraptions.

Its fun

Inverting your blood circulation for short intervals is actually healthy for the body. This is why people do headstands, and hand stands. However, 30 minutes is an extensive period of time and can lead to neurological issues. If you are doing head or handstands for 30 seconds in your workouts , it is fine.

I was in line waiting to get on that ride but those people never got off. Selfish jerks

[@tthappyrock368]

Oaks has closed the ride until further notice and is consulting with the manufacturer about why this happened. The ride is brand new. The park was closed to allow emergency crews in to get people down.
