With their feet in the air, the passengers waited for many minutes in the basket while the owner restarted his ride using a generator. Other nearby rides were also stranded due to this failure linked to the same transformer.

On December 31, 2018, eight passengers on a ride spent New Year’s Eve stranded at a height of 52 meters at the same Rennes fairground. After several hours of waiting in the cold, the “castaways” came down safely thanks to the intervention of a team of specialized firefighters from Grimp (Reconnaissance and intervention group in perilous environments).
