Four children were taken to hospital after they came loose from a revolving fairground ride in Lopburi, central Thailand on Saturday night. 

 

A video showed six children on the right side of a "Cozy Wave" ride being thrown 6 meters to the ground as the ride completed its second rotation. 

 

A restraining section on the 18 seater device had come loose.

 

The person who was operating the ride shut the machine down then just ran away without offering any help. 

 

Three girls aged 13, and 15 (2) and a 12 were old boy were taken to Phra Narai Maharat Hospital with head and leg injuries.

Owner Sornchai, 62, said he had insurance for all his rides and would take responsibility. 

 

Lopburi police want to interview the person who was meant to be ensuring safety at the ride. 

 

They are investigating if all the permits were in place and if procedures were followed.

And since there are no laws against fleeing from the scene of a crime here, why wouldn't the average coward flee? 

Quite right. If no punishment, no deterrent. 

There are several countries where escaping prison is not a crime, Mexico, Germany, Austria, as it's considered natural human behavior. 

(Of course it's very difficult to escape without committing other crimes - damage or stealing prison clothes as examples.)

How did I end up in this pitful country? You should all be asking yourselves the same question too.

Yep! next thing they will be inviting known terrorists to take residence & pay them to do so safe in the knowledge that no harm will come to their citizens!

Thai can't even pump a motorbike tire at the Honda dealer....they even don't have a proper pressure gauge and just pump untill it's rock hard. 

They're actually doing you a favor, as the tires, for some reason, always leaks. Saves you an extra trip to the dealer to fill up with air...

We might be off topic here but my Forza went in for a service about a month ago , I check my tyres every 2 weeks so I know they are ok.  Checked them after the service and there was 50psi in the rear tyre not 29 and the front was 40 not 25.   Why are GWH employing workers who can't even get tyre pressures right ? If I hadn't checked the pressures I would of come off at the roundabout 300 metres away ( yes we have a roundabout in town ).

Normal Thai health and safety issue. never use fairground rides here, water attractions, parascending, zip wires, white water rafting, parachuting,  bungy jumping, private flying.  The Thais have not got the first idea of how to maintain anything to any great degree.  They can't even service cars to western standard, never mind dangerous activities equipment. Forgot to add water parks to the list. 

Exactly my experience. Nearly drowned one time in WWR in Kanchanaburi when the morons just turned over the boat and stopped Zip Line in Chiang Mai right before when I inspected the equipment, stay away from Jetskis, too

Fortunately the kids weren't 'far flung'.????
