The horror at Netley Marsh Steam and Craft Show near Southampton, saw the teen's hair caught in a ride. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Fire crews were forced to cut away part of the ride after the horror Charles Cole, owner of the funfair, has now spoken out to say he sympathises with the 18-year-old. He called the horror a "freak accident" and went on to insist his ride is 20 years old but it "had been tested that day." The incident on Saturday prompted a large emergency response with the Health and Safety Executive becoming involved. An 18-year-old girl was left with serious head injuries when her hair was caught in a ride at the funfair, she was raced to hospital and treated by medics. The girl was taken away on a stretcher and fire crews reportedly had to cut away a section of the ride. Mr Cole said that the walk-on ride had been subject to daily checks. Speaking to the Daily Echo he added: "Approximately 50 people had been on the ride before the 18-year-old, and there were no issues. 'The ride is 20 years old but it had been tested that day. This was a freak accident. 'Somehow, the girl's hair got caught and she could not grab on to the handrails. "Nobody wants to hurt anyone, and we are a family business. Last night was very upsetting, especially for the man who owns the ride. Woman relives horror moment she was flung from deadly 60mph funfair ride after slipping out her harness 'Safety is our priority, and we sympathise with the girl and her parents.
