The Rat

In July 2007, an 18-year-old park employee died after falling 80 feet from the Rat Ride at Loudoun Castle Amusement Park in Galston, Scotland. The employee was supposedly visiting the park on his day off when he saw one of the cars on the ride was stuck. The off-duty employee then climbed up to fix the ride, but it began to move, dragging him to the highest point. He then lost his grip and plummeted to his death.
