Almost 30 people were rescued and medically evaluated after being stuck hanging upside down on a ride at an amusement park in Portland.
Almost 30 people were rescued and medically evaluated after being stuck hanging upside down on a ride at an amusement park in Portland. The “AtmosFEAR” ride at Oaks Amusement Park “stopped at the apex position while operating in the 360-degree setting, suspending 28 riders upside down,” the park wrote on X. Portland Fire & Rescue responded around 3:15 p.m. local time after the ride got stuck, according to a post on X. “Portland Fire is en route to Oaks Park for a ride that is stuck, with multiple riders. At this point there are no indications of injury,” the fire department said. Daniel Allen, who was on the ride when it stopped, told CNN affiliate KATU that the restriction of the harness on his chest made it difficult for him to breathe because he has asthma. “I was crying, not of joy, not of anything, I was just crying. I was more happy, I was alive. I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated my life more,” Allen said.
