The California Occupational Safety and Health Administration says one boy broke both wrists in 2002 and two other boys had minor injuries when a Brass Ring Amusements employee started a Skywheel ride prematurely at the Stanislaus County Fair. And later that year a boy broke his wrist and another bumped his head at the Tehama County Fair because the company's Zipper ride was out of balance and the brakes needed adjustment. Cal-OSHA spokeswoman Kate McGuire says neither accident was as bad as the malfunction of the company's Yo-Yo ride at the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee. Three people were hospitalized, but all have since been released.
