A carnival worker was hospitalized after falling from the tower of the transportable aerial swing ride. The victim was approximately halfway up the 95 feet (29 m) tower when a co-worker mistakenly pushed a button on the ride’s control panel that moved a large chair swing frame down onto the victim’s arm, causing him to fall.
