During the Forest County Festival in Wisconsin, a ride called the Fireball experienced a malfunction, leaving eight passengers stranded upside down for over four hours.

Scott Brass captured video footage of the incident, which occurred on the ride featuring a looping track. Firefighters from nearby towns responded to the scene to assist in safely bringing the stranded passengers back down to the ground.

Fortunately, all the passengers were successfully rescued and were examined by ambulance crews to ensure their well-being. Firefighters determined that a mechanical failure was responsible for the ride becoming stuck. They mentioned that the ride had been inspected by the state of Wisconsin prior to the festival.
