what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Not to make light of the situation, and I'm glad to hear that none of the injuries seem serious-- including the driver I hope, but maybe Ed Markey should call for an investigation of the auto industry, not to mention manufacturers of ticket booths and tents.

not to make light of the situation... and maybe it is just me... but I do not see how this relates to Amusement parks, or Rollercoasters. A guy drove into a ticket booth at the Stat Fair? who cares? accidents occur all the time in amusement park parking lots...

I know they have rides at the fair, but this incident did not occur on a ride. The Michigan State fair is also much much more then the rides...

Maybe I am just tired, sorry for being a jerk..

Guess who's back? Back Again? James K's back. Tell a friend.

It still effects the industry and that will cause alarm to those in the business. It makes everyone re-think the traffic pattern and if or if not the gate will be an acceptible place to allow traffic (emergency or otherwise) to travel through it.

I am glad it wasn't a ride-related injury, since one of those is too many, but still, whichever incident occurs, it's bad enough
