  An investigator for our attorney Edgar Paul Boyko, Benny Leonard, and I arrived between 4:30 and 5 am the next day.  The ride was just starting to be dismantled and removed from the fair.  We left after many photographs had been taken.  Some things are and were egregious.  The motor had been suped-up to increase speed.  Seat belts were the same canvas straps found on duffel bags with a d-ring and clip to fasten it together.  There were only a couple of intact straps on the ride.  D-rings, clips or both were missing and some straps had the ends knotted together and flattened by many riders sitting on them.  I don't know why the seats had been welded.  Whether it was for short-cut maintenance or not didn't alter that it was not a smart thing to do, considering the speed of the ride and the centrifugal forces involved.  I think the ride was called the Scrambler which scooted fast on the ground.  The State was involved at least as a certifying entity.
