BBC News (1994) Coney Beach Porthcawl Accident News Report 

I was at the fair that day and my dad was one of the paramedics that attended.

Been here so many times as a kid never knew this!

i remember this from when i was a kid

Please tell me that poor boy wasn't decapitated by that steel bar! Just like that Caleb kid with the giant Verruckt slide! : O

After this happened a lot of people chose not to ride it and my friend at the time had a job where he would just ride it to make it look like it was being used.

My dad was on the beach while this was happening

Didn’t have a head for heights
