Columbus: A swinging and spinning amusement park ride called the Fire Ball malfunctioned and broke apart on the opening day of the Ohio State fair, hurling people through the air, killing at least one and injuring seven others.
Five of the injured were in critical condition and the other two were in stable condition at area hospitals, Columbus fire battalion chief Steve Martin said. The man who was killed was one of several who were thrown when the ride malfunctioned on Wednesday, Martin said.
Dramatic video captured by a bystander shows the ride swinging back and forth like a pendulum and spinning in the air when it crashes into something and part of the ride flies off, throwing riders to the ground.
In a statement, Republican governor John Kasich said he was "terribly saddened by this accident, by the loss of life and that people were injured enjoying Ohio's fair."
Kasich said he has ordered a full investigation and also ordered that all fair rides be shut down until additional safety inspections can be completed.
The fair did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment. In a post on its Twitter page it said: "There has been a report of a ride incident. We are investigating and will report information as available."
The Ohio State Fair runs through 6 August.
