Blanton said the worker, a 10-year veteran of midway vendor Amusements of America, was standing on the platform of the Bonzai ride when he was struck by the legs of a teenage girl on the ride.
The worker, a ride assistant, was knocked from the platform, struck by the ride and was thrown over the top of the neighboring Starship ride.
The worker reportedly landed near a pizza stand.

That's one helluva way to go huh?

Yeah, I heard that on the local news.

I was in shock and horror reading that little passage until the part about him landing near a pizza stand and I just burst out laughing for no apparent reason:Q

You're not the only one NFS
It's one of those things like where a friend trips and falls and you laugh at him... then you realize he broke his wrist or something.
