Tornado (Wisdom ride)

The Tornado is an amusement ride manufactured by Wisdom Industries Ltd.

The center base spins at 14 RPM while each car can be spun by the riders.

Witnesses say that one of the gondolas clipped the ground, causing the central column to break off its axis.

The ride was the second in a chain of accidents on the Midwest Midways traveling carnival.

On August 13, 2006, two children each suffered a broken arm and were taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where they were treated and released.
