Credit: Gran Feria FundidoraGuests recently had a terrifying experience after a power outage left them hanging, screaming for help, on a popular attraction.
A group of people was left hanging in mid-air while riding the popular attraction “G Force,” which suddenly stopped due to a power outage, allegedly caused by a failure in the attraction’s power generator. The incident happened last Monday, July 25, at the “Gran Feria Fundidora,” a famous fair that takes place every year at Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Mexico.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time an unfortunate incident has occurred at “Gran Feria Fundidora,” as ”here have been comments online saying this appears to be a growing trend at the fair.

Yadira added that no local authorities arrived at the scene and that although there were no injuries, several Guests suffered nausea after being evacuated by a ladder, with no safety protocols whatsoever. She also mentioned the G Force incident previously stated.
User @duronidas posted a video in response to these incidents, commenting that this seems to be common now at the fair, as another attraction can be seen with two carts completely stopped while three ride operators are literally climbing the roller coaster. It is unclear if the operators evacuated the people riding the attraction or if they had to be evacuated, again, with no safety protocols.
It is common now

While it is true that this event is temporary and the attractions are more carnival-like, many consider that specific safety measures and regulations should be instated by local authorities and officials of the event to ensure the safety and enjoyment of everyone visiting the fair.
