Teen Horrific Hair Accident at Hampshire Funfair
An 18-year-old girl suffered potentially life-changing injuries after her hair got trapped in a moving ride at the Netley Marsh Steam and Craft Show in Hampshire. The terrifying incident unfolded late on Saturday, 26 July.
Emergency Called to ‘Fun House’ Ride Horror
Emergency services rushed to the scene around 10:53pm following reports of a serious accident on the “Fun House” attraction. Eyewitnesses said the teen was on the ride’s oscillating floor when she tripped and fell.
Her hair became caught in the ride’s floor rollers, causing a severe scalp injury described as a “scalp degloving” by attending medical staff. The extent of her injuries is described as potentially life-changing.
Ride Owner and Medical Staff Shocked
Emma Perry, a heart failure nurse, said: “Last night was very upsetting, especially for the man who owns the ride. Safety is our priority, and we sympathise deeply with the victim.”
The investigation into how the accident occurred is ongoing, as authorities and fair organisers review safety protocols.
