says the dictionary of the RAE accident is a "possible event that alters the normal order of things." This entry is only to mention to an experience I had yesterday at the Madrid Amusement Park, which occurred just what that definition sums up so well. After a great day ended up in the park's newest attraction: the Star Flyer. Flying chairs are typical of the life of the park but climb to a height of 80 meters (from above the wheel looks like a toy) and rotate quite fast. Moreover, because you feel the same subject in other attractions the feeling of "flying" is great (for me too, even be sufficient clamping and without real danger.)
The fact is that when I was starting to ask when it would stop (as between the high and the feeling of "too much freedom" was not really relaxed me) suddenly stopped chairs turn and stopped (but 80 meters !!!). It was obviously a failure in the attraction, some sort of accidental damage (hence the accident, and that no injuries) that left us hanging there for a while it became eternal (it was a considerable time). People were starting to get nervous calling us cell phone from below to tell us that our companions were at it ... I wondered if the firefighters would be able to get us to 80 feet high. There were also quite windy, which also give us quite cold, we swayed slightly increasing our "concern" (if not fear). The minutes passed and passed without anything happening except the wind swinging and people's faces increasingly serious ... The girl who accompanied me (and the chairs come in pairs), daughter of friends waiting below, was quite nervous and began to mourn. Luckily I was able to comfort her, I can not imagine what would have happened at that time if she had to ride with another boy next door ...
Finally (finally!) Little by little, the structure that holds the chair began to decline slowly until we returned to pose for a while your feet on the ground. From the amusement park did not give us any explanation, nor have any details with us (at least one hot broth would have been nice, we went down frozen !!!).
If something similar has happened to you can tell me by mail and just write a compilation of theme bauldehuellas@gmail.com
