The "XTreme" ride (Rieger) had a breakdown on the "Schueberfouer", the biggest funfair in Luxembourg. It took over one and a half hours for the people to finally get rescued!

Note that nobody was hurt except for some minor hypothermia, and all safety devices operated as expected. No person was in danger at any time.

The ride, which has a major damage, is currently being repaired by a Dutch company and expected to get back into operation as soon as possible, after being inspected by LuxControl.

As of the 26th of August, the ride is open again to the public.

Here is an article with detailed information about what happened (in Luxembourgish):

-----------------------

Another update: The 29th of August, another ride has had a breakdown on the very same funfair, the Schueberfouer. The concerned ride is "Circus Circus", of which the main engine burnt out. Again, nobody was hurt nor was in danger at any time. All riders could leave the ride by themselves.
After the "XTreme", this is the second ride to have a breakdown. Again the damage to the ride is serious, in a way that a specialized company from Germany has to come on the spot to do the repair.

  • tja... Das kommt davon, wenn er nicht regelmäßig von einem TÜV geprüft wird!

  • Stimmt nicht. Auf besagtem Jahrmarkt hast du als Schausteller keine Chance wenn dein Fahrgeschäft nicht TÜV geprüft ist. Außerdem wird zusätzlich nochmal jede Attraktion vor der Eröffnung von einer vom Organisator beauftragten privaten Firma auf jegliche technischen Mängel untersucht.
