RIDGEFIELD, Wash. - A day at the county fair ended with a trip to the emergency room for a brother and sister.

The incident happened Sunday at the Clark County Fair on a ride called 'The Tornado.'

Although the ride has given carnival-goers thrills for years, for 13-year-old Galynn Becker and her brother, 12-year-old Jon Becker, the ride turned into a painful trap.

"We put both our hands above the disk on the pole and when we did, our hands immediately got stuck to it, because our hands were on top of each other, and that's when it got twisted," said Galynn. "What I heard is that both of my bones in my forearm snapped in half."

Both kids ended up with broken arms. Galynn had a compound fracture, but the ride was still spinning, even as she and her brother screamed for help.

"It sucked them in and you couldn't break them loose and their heads were getting sucked in toward the pole," said Sarah Geesey, the kids' mother. "He wouldn't stop the ride. I tried climbing out of the ride. I tried beating the ride up - anything to draw attention to us."

The ride did eventually stop, but the situation got worse.

"We asked several fair staff and the carnival ride operators to please call for help and they said 'ma'am, we don't know how, we don't know who to call, we don't know how to call.'"

Butler Amusement operates the rides. Although they would not speak on camera, spokeswoman Mary Caspell did say the company was sorry the incident happened.

"We are investigating," she said. "That particular ride has never had any incidents of a similar nature."

However, five years ago another Butler Amusement ride had a problem at the Clark County Fair. Seven people were injured after a hydraulic pump on a ride exploded.

Tom Musser, the General Manager of the Clark County Fair, said the Becker kids are victims of a freak accident and the fair is safe.

"My son was out there on the rides with his friends," he said. "I still feel comfortable with my son going out there on those rides."

According to Butler Amusement, the rides are inspected every time they are set up.

As for the family of the two children who were hurt, they are planning to sue both the Clark County Fair and Butler Amusement.
