Wisconsin won't investigate failed catapult ride at Mt. Olympus

Posted | Contributed by VitaminsAndGravy

A state agency is not investigating an incident earlier this month involving a Wisconsin Dells thrill ride that had a mechanical failure captured on video just seconds before it was supposed to launch two people through the air. The Catapult ride at Mt. Olympus Water and Theme Park had past safety inspection violations. But the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services only investigates accidents that involve injury or death.

Fever I really enjoy the Simpsons. It's just a shame that I am starting to LOOK like Homer.
