Video Shows a Massive Crack on Ride Structure While in Operation

While this did not happen in Texas, it can happen anywhere! Because I am a coaster fanatic, this video has popped up many times on my TikTok feed a few times While this happened last year, it is still a little shocking. It shows an operational rollercoaster swaying as the ride cars pass a cracked beam.

Some people would call this the stuff of nightmares. I think this is great engineering! The fact that there is a crack in the beam and the ride still continues to function means it was built correctly. Of course, repairs were made immediately! Check out the video below. This video was posted to the social platform by jojoglynn.

@nbcsouthflorida Shocking video from Only in Dade captured the moment a ride at Miami-Dade County’s Youth Fair appeared to break while people were on it. The incident happened on the 1001 Nachts ride and the viral video shows it literally falling apart as a loose rod was seen flapping around. The Youth Fair's ride provider, North American Midway Entertainment, responded to the video in a statement to NBC6, confirming that the ride experienced a mechanical issue.
