## Resource

A high-tension wire snapped mid-ride on the Southwest Slinger at Western Playland in New Mexico, leaving two passengers swinging free—though they suffered only minor injuries. The park, already dealing with a nearby brush fire caused by fireworks, has shut down the ride for a full safety review with manufacturers, reaffirming that safety is their top priority.
