Wave Swinger Disaster Caused by Human Error | Nashville News
Description
A terrifying Wave Swinger crash at the Wilson County Fair wasn’t caused by machinery failure—it was human error.

Officials shut down the ride, fired the operator, and cleared it to reopen after safety review—highlighting why strict training and calm under pressure are non-negotiable for ride operators.
