Another ride to face a ban by H & S no doubt.

I would have thought feeling sick and dizzy was pretty normal after riding one of those things.

Only if you can stay on long enough!

so it's most likely it wasn't the ride that killed her, possibly food poisoning or a pill in a drink, that's my guess.

People die daily and nightly doing normal, everyday things, but nobody blames breathing as a cause of death?

Well not yet.

It didn't stop them from running a bucking bronco in Sunderland today anyway!

Would that not be lack of breathing

From the article it looks as though they know it wasn't the ride as many others used it... it's just because of the sudden death rules (It's must be inquired and classed either accidental/natural or murder - I think).

We'll still have bucking broncos
