Amusement park accidents, while extremely rare, are the stuff of nightmares (and they make a regular appearance in horror movies). Here are some examples of the few times those devilish dreams have come to fruition:

Beware of birds
In Woldwood, New Jersey, a 13-year-old girl was injured when she got smacked in the face by a seagull while riding an amusement park ride. Ouch. I’m not sure who had the right of way in this situation. (USA Today, 7-23-2021, p. 4)

Other examples of amusement park accidents
