Bomber Maxx, a traveling ride that was making the rounds in France, said to be a Fabbri Booster, failed in spectacular fashion when an explosion of sparks errupted out of the center axis of the ride, as caught on video in the Tweet below. A helicopter was called in (https://www.ouest-france.fr/bretagne/rennes-35000/video-l-extraordinaire-sauvetage-du-bomber-maxxx-rennes-vu-du-ciel-6156169) to aid in the rescue of the riders from the top half of the ride on New Year’s Eve. I believe a firefighter / rescue worker was lifted up to the top of the ride by the helicopter, where he then rigged up a harness system to help lower the riders down one at a time to waiting rescue crews below on cranes.
