Reports of Injury Prompt Recall and Inspection of YO-YO Amusement Rides

23 People Fell to the Ground in California

Following reports of injury to children and adults, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, in conjunction with Chance Rides Manufacturing, is recalling the YO-YO ride, currently installed in about 85 amusement parks across the country, for safety inspection.

On May 16, 2008, 23 riders of a YO-YO ride in Angels Camp, CA, fell to the ground when the sweep arms suspending the circular swinging chairs they were riding in broke free from the ride's center cylinder rod. The inspection program will focus on preventing future failures.
