3. Wild Cat, Bell's Amusement Park, Tulsa, Oklahoma

On April 20, 1997, at Bell's Amusement Park in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an unexpected incident inclined onto the situation. As the coaster climbed the hill and reached the top, it stalled and it it started to roll back down because of pressure and it crashed on to another cart killing a 14 year old boy and eight others were injured.

State investigators ultimately determined that Bell's had replaced a plastic part of the anti-rollback device with a material that was not approved by the manufacturer. While the victim's families negotiated a financial settlement with the park's owners, criminal charges were eventually dropped. Bell's Amusement Park closed in 2006.



2. Whillard's Whizzer, California

 Take Willard's Whizzer, which peaked at just 70 feet and clocked in at a paltry 42 miles per hour. The incident occurred on March 29, 1980, when a boy climbed the cart and joyfully put his seatbelt in the rear seat. Without warning a cart struck him in the back and caused a tragic accident
