Hannah Montana Ferris Wheel Survivor!

Yep. I’m a Hannah Montana Ferris Wheel survivor :)
I was there as a guardian for my son. Both he and my wife are working as paid extras this week.

On this video you can see the accident…

My son and I are in the seat right above where the lighting equipment struck.
My wife and another woman were seated right above us.

It’s hard to see on that video, but the Mom below us with her son took
a direct hit. Tore the right side of the basket off and damaged the whole
structure on the left. UNBELIEVABLY, and I stress unbelievable. They were
not hurt. When I saw that thing hit, I was terrified that they were both
killed. They definitely had an Angel with them!

As for my son Brandon, age 10, I was so proud of him! We both sat there
as a lighting structure the size of the foundation of a large house came
hurling at us. He didn’t even cry!
We thought it was going to hit us for sure.

My prayers go to the family who took the hit. While they were not physically hurt, they were
very emotionally shook up.

This was one accident that could have very easily had a different outcome.

6 more inches and they both would have been killed. I hope the Movie Studio realizes just how lucky they were in avoiding a terrible tragedy.

Brandon woke up this morning at 9:30 A.M. The first thing he said was,
“Dad, I’m never riding a ferris wheel again that’s got a crane next to it!”

I’m just glad we can laugh about it.

My wife is there today working and told me that the Ferris Wheel is full of mannequins.
Let’s just hope that they don’t put one in that crane! :)
