A young girl is recovering after a fall from a gondola ride at the Florida State Fair Saturday Night.
On February 12, 2021, just after 8:40 p.m., three minors, all family members under the age of 10, were riding the gondola across the fairgrounds when a seven-year-old girl slipped under the safety bar and fell 35-40 feet down onto a grassy area.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Hillsborough County Fire Rescue paramedics responded immediately to the scene and were able to take her to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries (possible broken wrist).
After an investigation, HCSO detectives have determined this to be an accident.
The gondola ride was shut down for a time, and is now back and in operation. Any questions regarding the ride should be directed to the Florida State Fair.

Are the parents/legal guardians in trouble for allowing that to happen? Or is the fair going to catch heat bc parents can’t watch their own damn kids?
