Family Days had all the makings for Horror Night on Oct. 4, when a woman on a carousel ride called the Crazy Bus, was left dangling with her other arm clutched around her child, the result of the ride suddenly starting up as patrons were getting of it. Port Orange Fire Department spokeswoman Tonya Gilardi said Sherri Pinkerton of Ormond Beach started to lose her grip and was forced to drop her pre-school child to rescuers 35 feet below.
The mother was then helped off the ride by a Port Orange firefighter after a city worker retrieved a ladder. There were no major injuries reported in the 8:15 mishap. Family Days is an annual carnival event in Port Orange designed to bring families together.
