Overview

  • In October 2019, Jade Harrison was thrown from the Airmaxx360 ride at Hull Fair after a metal lap bar failed, leaving her with severe injuries.
  • Taylor’s Funfairs admitted liability and Harrison secured a five-figure settlement from their insurers.
  • A Health and Safety Executive probe dropped criminal charges in 2023 after finding the ride’s safety restraints to be inadequate.
  • Harrison still suffers nerve damage in her thigh, a broken jaw and facial injuries and remains unable to have further leg surgery because it is classed as cosmetic.
  • She now advocates for stronger safety measures at fairgrounds to prevent similar accidents.
