Talker prepared – Ferris wheel burned: how safe are amusement parks?

Date:

It’s every amusement park visitor’s nightmare: On Saturday, a Ferris wheel packed with people caught fire at a music festival in Leipzig – dozens were injured! The incident raises the question of how risky such a situation actually is and how to respond correctly.

The festival-goers in Leipzig were lucky: thanks to the orderly reaction of the organisers and the rapid intervention of the emergency services, most passengers were only slightly injured. But the situation was dire: a fire in an attraction – in the middle of a crowd – can also end up as a catastrophe and is a challenging scenario for emergency services. That is why the Vienna Prater and the professional fire brigade actively prepare for emergency situations. Krone+ shows exactly how.
