The federal government advised owners and operators of spinning amusement park rides to stop using them until further inspections are done, following an accident last month that killed a 38-year-old man.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said it is investigating the Sept. 19 accident at a church fair in Shrewsbury, Mass., on a ride called the Sizzler.
The Sizzler and Deluxe Sizzler rides, made by Wisdom Industries Ltd. of Sterling, Colo., rotate clockwise while three four-seat sections turn counterclockwise, the commission said.
