10-Year-Old Thrown From ‘Moby Dick’ Carnival Ride

- A 10-year-old boy was flung out of his seat on an Illinois carnival ride known as Moby Dick. Huntley Daniels was at a festival, an hour outside Chicago, when he was thrown from the ride after falling through his harness. His stunned mom watched the terror unfold. The ride is now closed, pending further investigation. Illinois officials inspected Moby Dick this year and said it was safe to operate. Inside Edition reached out to the makers of the ride as well as the company that leased it to the carnival and did not hear back.
I can't believe they didn't include info on his condition. I went looking and found out he suffered broken ribs, a broken femur, a broken arm, cracked arm & broken jaw. His teeth were shoved into his gums from hitting the ground. It sounds like he's lucky to have survived. He definitely has a long road to recovery in front of him.
Thank you for giving an update!! I was wondering if he was okay :(
Omggggg that sounds horrible :((((((((((
Poor kid! That ride should of not been operating with unsafe restraints. I smell a hefty lawsuit from his parents
Horrible, just absolutely HORRIFIC 😭💔 I hope he recovers quickly
thanks for the info 😢 wonder if they got a go fund me set up. INSIDE Edition sucks!
Multiple people knew something was wrong with the harnesses but nobody said anything this could have been avoided
That is what I am thinking. They should have alerted the operators.
Exactly what I said!
@cocoaorange1 Who's to say they didn't? That one guy alerted the workers a few weeks prior that one of the rides had a crack in that side of the ride. (Different amusement park.) They didn't do anything. The only thing that stopped it was he called 911, and he had the fire department come out. The fire department shut it down.
why dont we ban assault carnival rides already

That little girl blowing kisses to her brother as he was lifted away was really touching. I sure hope he will recover.
i cant imagine what kind of pain this kid and his family is going through. i hope he will make a swift recovery.
I stopped going on rides at the travel fairs due to them being the most neglected and unsafe. I pray for a speedy recovery for this little boy. 💙
❤
they're also slightly harder to prosecute in state court than permanent theme parks.. At least from what I've seen.
@@danielmiller9012 But they don't check the harnesses so that could be considered negligence
I don’t go on any at all anymore.
That’s true I went to the cinco de mayo fair at Cicero and some lil white boy around 12 was telling me about how his family got into the business and I ask some questions about safety and surprisingly he was telling me it’s common a lot of people don’t be fixing them or keeping them maintained.
That sweet little girl is too young to understand the severity of her brothers situation
Unless she's like my sister, she'd be celebrating for having a room all by herself temporarily. Kids can be evil. I still bring up whenever I'm feeling petty. I survived but like-- common!! 😭😭😭 mfkr. May the brother make a comeback. He'll have a story to tell, and that's what I look forward to, a full recovery!
Her waving to her brother... that broke my heart. :(

It's always horrible to hear about amusement park malfunctions like this, especially as someone who myself has at least a moderate fear of heights. Deepest degrees of sympathy and wishes of swift recovery to this child who suffers injury from this untimely malfunction! As well, of course, to his family for their own suffering in witnessing this and in the worries of potenial loss that follow. Hopefully they're all able to recover from this experience, as healthily as possible, given these circumstances.
I'm sorry but nice profile pic. Love chamalien
That poor kid, hope he recovers swiftly.
Poor kid, I wish him a full and speedy recovery.
@@BrokenBonesRBLX Why do you think he deserved this?

this is too funny xD

_speedy_ recovery
Stuck upside down for 4 hours is a new nightmare unlocked. That sounds awful.
The panic alone would kill me
That's why I don't ride things that go upside down.
You know people had to use the bathroom 😮
Literally biggest fear unlocked.
you probably dont have to use the bathromm. Everything is going to be pushed back up but your head will feel like exploding because of the blood flow
@@FreezyOH
I'd vomicate then pass out after I got finished cussing
One of my family members is a civil engineer and they would NEVER let us on these rides because they knew they aren’t inspected well.
That poor kid, recovery is going to be long and tough. Well wishes for him and his family ❤️
same I will wish him and his family ❤
I can’t imagine what the mother was going through 😔
Yeah
You mean the father! Mother died
@@javiruiz8365no she didn’t?
@@Krewstarx she did! She died
What??????
This is why it’s important for ride operators to be vigilant about safety and about the size of the kids boarding the ride.
It's important for parents to watch they kids
Parents too! Looks too dangerous for a kid!
They're carnival rides, they're meant for children lol
why dont we ban assault carnival rides already
they're usually kids themselves
Hearing about all these rides malfunctioning is making both parents and children scared to go to any fairs, amusement parks or carnivals around the world which is very heartbreaking
I used to love going on those rides- at least until I started looking at how they're set up. I don't blame people for avoiding them.
I had a coworker who worked for the fairs and was fired for telling a mom the ride might not be safe for your child. The next day they fired him and left him stranded and homeless. Two week later a man was killed on a ride before the fair Left. Worst still they allowed the same company back the following year.
Wow really? That is terrible and hope people sue these fairs so they learn not to do this again.
Sounds like a big lawsuit is heading their way. I thought it was just going to be a case of the kid being too small for the harness, but if it's been coming up for others and before, they're very negligent. Should have been shut down and fixed.
same, i thought it was just a case of the child being too small/big for the harness, but this is something else. they need to be sued
As a mom, I wouldn’t even know what to say to a lawsuit because how could that console me? That poor mom, that poor child! That poor child!!!’
Yup.. 💯 and they deserve every penny they ask for too...
@@buttercupj6208 they really do, that’s so horrible.
amusement parks have qualified immunity
the reporter went on a ride after there was an incident? 😂 give this man a rise
Yeah. The reporter deserves like a 50% raise bc he took a really big risk.
Didn’t even realized 😂
He went to a diff location to test the ride....
@@LocalBroYT yeah
It shows it's not the manufacturer, but the ride operator(s) of this specific fair service.
I used to love rides as a small child. Until one day, I had to hold down my own hardness during the entire ride fearing for my life. I was a child when this happened but it scared me enough to not want to get on a ride again. Wishing this child a speedy recovery
damn USA has a problem with safety
My Prayers For The Boy. May He Find Healing & Full Recovery
I used to love these rides when I was a kid, then after having kids, I started looking at how they were held together and was just terrified after that. That poor little girl waving at her brother while mom is busy in shock! He will live, and this will be the story told over and over again in his life! I am glad he will be ok!
He just got out of surgery and is stable but will take a long recovery. From an article from abc news
@@Puppitou Thank you!
Will he? According to what I have read in the comments about his serious injuries, it will take quite a long time to heal. But what troubles me the most is his mental damage. It sure was a truly horrifying experience, and he might be traumatised for who knows how long. The family should sue the responsibles for the ride safety and make them pay all medical and psychological expenses.
@@Puppitouyour pfp :0
They inspected it once this year? All rides should be inspected DAILY!!!
My cousin used to work at a small amusement/water park and they had quality and inspection checks every single morning and mid afternoon. This park has so much negligence. I agree it should be daily !
@@lizacrochets98 question is how much is that going to cost? stuff like that can cause parks like this to go bankrupt.
A ride inspection takes several hours and has to be done by professionals lol
@@hippo440 THIS. 👍
@@jackmagnium6115so can a huge lawsuit for neglect when someone dies or gets injured
I'll never forget one time going on a ride with my sister as kids. It was late in the day and we were the only ones. We expected the operator (a teen) was going to come and pull down our harness for us but before we knew it the rollercoaster was starting. We instinctively pulled it down ourselves and we never told our mother but looking back we probably should have.
THAT POOR KID! I HOPE HE HAS A SPEEDY RECOVERY!
When I was a kid, my mom would always refuse to let us go to cheap, fly-by-night, pop-up carnivals.
Back then, it would make me mad that we would always drive past those carnivals; today, I am SO VERY GRATEFUL for my mom’s caution!! ♥️
Well I do it😈😈
Same with my Mom. i never once got mad tho
Same here
When a company doesn't respond back you know they're hiding something.
Prayers go out to him that he makes a speedy recovery and prayers go out to his family Stay strong 💪 Lil buddy.
I like how the kid at 1:03 seemed pretty chill after what happened and knows how to respond to something like this
Bro is built different
I pray that poor boy is doing alright. This is one of the reasons why I don't go on rides. Too many accidents have already happened.
Your chances of getting severely hurt on a ride is one in 300 million. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t go on a carnival ride.
so you dont live because too many accidents happened on earth?
@@Houtarou_Hyouka_UnforgivenTrue. People always forget that they can pray for themselves so they won't get hurt. Instead, they just rather live a boring life.
i bet hes praying he stayed home to play fortnite
@@osvaldorubalcava9721 I don't play Fortnite bud.
This is terrifying. My son got stuck on a ride and it seemed like forever not knowing if he was going to be ok. My heart goes out to the victim and his family ❤️🙏

What ride? Usually if a ride stops it’s for safety reasons? I’m not trying to be insensitive in any sort of way but I am curious about what your situation was.
Also, to those poor riders who got stuck UPSIDEDOWN! 😞😞
@@SliceofHeaven1984 you know that doesn’t happen, right?
@@Zach-Zach except they literally just showed us footage of a fireball ride that got stuck upside down? Not to mention the Demon roller coaster incident. While extremely rare, it does happen.
I went on a ride like this a few days ago, this ride is literally terrifying. I couldn't imagine falling from a ride like that, I pray that the young boy will be okay.
My goodness. Sending prayers to the family. I can only imagine the horror of watching this happen and not being able to protect him. 😢
Oh no! I hope Huntley will not be paralyzed or something. I hope he recovers fast. This is horrible. 😮

😳 Poor kid!
@@jleos0095stop spreading false information, he's alive and stable, he's undergone surgery and is currently being monitored.
He didn't make it
@@kuyakenken5503 4 hours ago, Huntley Daniels is awake and alert. Many broken bones. But very much alive.

These “accidents” happen way to often ☹️
That I never go to amusement park with my children…they happy and save and is more fun on the ground with different activities,no need of adrenaline rush at that young age better be safe than sorry….hope the boy gone recover quickly wish him absolutely the best…my support and prayers go to his family ❤
go to theme parks not fairs
My younger cousin and I rode a pirate ship ride at a carnival. The seatbelt was so flimsy and the employees never even checked if people had them on before they started the ride. My cousins seatbelt came undone, and I watched as she started to fly out of the ride. This man beside me and I both grabbed her and held her down why we screamed at the operator to stop the ride
Tbh that sounds traumatizing
That is scary oh my goodness I’m sorry
That happened to me on the scrambler except there was nobody to hold me in.
I had to prop my feet up on the other end of the seat to keep from falling out. People saw me sliding around and did nothing.
Smh
When did this happen
You from Colorado.
Thank goodness that poor child is still alive, I hope he recovers from such a horrific and traumatic injury :'(
That poor sister. I dont know whether or not she really knows whats happening to brother
Ikr, she seemed happy that he was getting a ride in a helicopter lmao
Sue every penny from that carnival. Hold them accountable!
He's incredibly lucky to still be alive. 25 feet is a pretty far distance and I'm sure he hit concrete. Could have snapped you know what. This kid got lucky. There's been other accidents that have happened similar to this at carnivals and amusement parks and others weren't as fortunate to survive the fall from similar distance.
@@WhYArEYouSoSeRiOuS rude
Lucky to be alive maybe bit his condition is so horrific now
I would be just as distraught as that mom. I hope the boy recovers well. And I hope the get compensated.
The Sister saying “Bye Huntley” and blowing kissed melted my heart, it’s so wholesome!
Poor kid I hope he's ok and see his family I one peace.🙏🏽❤️
Oh dear, I hope the poor boy is okay. 🙏
Yeah me to man life is hard
He's not sadly
Don’t worry, he’s alive and well.
@@notoriousfly9260 yeah your've right he is alive
I’m so sorry for your loss 🥺❤
1:40 that's terrifying. That needs to be fixed immediately. How does that even get ignored?
People just don’t care about anyone’s safety these days. This is exactly why I no longer go on rides.
Correct
Oh my goodness! I've been on this ride before. Back in i think 2017. Honestly the ride was iffy back then. Even broke down at one point while a friend of mine was on it. Feel back for the kid and hope for a full recovery.
Glad he survived. His sire is adorable and I’m glad the first responders were so quick.
So scary!!!
I hope he gets better soon!
Bless him and his family❤.
Something is not adding up who agrees
@@viviennematos3764 what do you mean?
How is the little boy? Prayers he is ok
Good Luck little guy hope you make a full recovery.
This is one of my favorite rides, it’s sad that he had to expierence this instead of having a fun time at the fair
This should NOT be happening!!!! The rides must be throughly checked prior to ANY passengers aboarding! I hope and I pray he will make a full recovery & his parents sue the theme park!
Poor kid. Feel better soon Huntley. This is why I only go to well know amusement parks such as Universal, SeaWorld, Disney, etc. Something usually always goes wrong with these small parks.
❤
You forgot kings dominion
black people
i lovwe black people
Large parks have safety issues too....Carowinds
I feel sorry for the people who have been in accidents like this, and they would have been avoided if the rides were checked and repaired more often. I also feel lucky that this sort of thing has never happened to me or anyone that I know; and I hope that it never does happen.
The fact I went on this ride a week before this is scare,my heart goes out to him
This is why I never ride carnival rides. They put them together and take apart every few weeks and the carnival people don’t really care for you safety it’s all about making $
Yea I don’t trust them
So, people experienced the failure and…didn’t report it?
I'm so very sorry for your young boy. l pray he will be ok.. sending prays from B.C. ❤😊
That Poor Kid I’m Praying For Him And He Has A Safe Recovery
Starting to get super skeptical of carnival rides, most of the time they take shortcuts or just neglect to double check these rides the proper way
its expensive. idk how much it costs but im pretty sure its alot more than it is to get back in tickets(fairground costs). the other thing is it will drive prices up way too much(i know safety is important but should it be more important to a point where a company doesnt last long and goes bankrupt?)
You have to be skeptical about everything that can jeopardize your life.
@@redacted2275 true
My grandma has a major major maaaajor distrust for Carnies. She said they use to get away with a lot of things. From extortion to murder.
This is the same type of ride where people on the ground had to cling onto it's railings because the ride was wobbling back and forth in that one video last year. It legitimately looked like it was about to tip over had the crowd not intervened to help.
yeah not quite the same ride but still that flimsy rebuildable traveling carnival style. i never get on these things
@@PhantomofDB They said same type of ride. Not the exact ride. Very similar and it's all not safe.
Prayers for him and his family! 🙏❤
may he rest in peace , such a young boy 🕊🕊🕊🕊🙏🙏
Prayers for him and his family
Praying for them all ❤
Oh myyyyyyy praying for Huntleys recovery
Human error. Unfortunately it is a machine and machines fail. I actually thought rides were inspected monthly .
More stringent inspections and safety devices need to be implemented.
He is alive. Best of luck to this child.
I was on one of those rides at a local carnival, it was called Avalanche. I’m 5’ 1” and 17, so I kinda bounced around in the seat myself, I had to hold on for dear life since it was so janky. The ride operator was so obvious that he didn’t see at first a girl was having trouble putting on her seatbelt to connect it that we all had to pretty much yell at him to attend to her. I only felt nauseous afterwards and went home (smart choice in my opinion…), but falling OUT is horrible to think about. I would highly recommend not going on these carnival rides. They’re really ratchety and not as smoothly operated as amusement park rides like Six Flags or Hershey; festival rides have a higher chance of being riskier than those parks.
Many condolences to the family.
I certainly hope that mother with the 2 kids (on the couch) said something!! The story makes it seems like she watched her 2 kids panic and almost fall out and went home. So, did she say something ?? If not, then she is also partially responsible!! “See something, say something!”
@@whatsup5791 probably yes
I was thinking the same thing.
I mean how many times a week is there a loud mom telling off operations workers because in their mind their loved one was at risk. She probably said something and the teenager went back to their shift
@@gogousa6661 I can also believe that
I used to ride that a lot when I was younger and I pray for that young boy to have a speedy recovery
That's crazy but glad he's ok
This is why I don't trust anymore carnival rides, man 😭 I am sorry for the family who went through this tragic incident rest in peace
he survived
@@adamtesler2349 oh thank goodness
He survived with a ton of injuries. I don't know why they didn't mention that.
Hope the kid feels fast mentally and physically
Feels fast?
@@cooliipieI assume they mean heals
i saw way too many accidents on youtube. my days of going on a ride is gone..in my younger days i rode all rides no one ever thought something can happen. to watch your child up there holding on for dear life omg
"It suggests to me that we're not doing something right" - wow, stunning revelation there
I hope the kid recovers quick as possible 🙏😔
There is a similar ride over here in southern Texas. Its called the crazy dance and it does the exact same thing, one time one of the seatbelts snapped for the person riding next to me. thank god she didnt fly out, the big rubber lock thingy kept her in place the entire time.
There's a ride like this in where I live and a child was injured when he walked under the ride and it hit him.
Prayers for this little boy that he'll be okay.🙏
my god wtf that is so terrifying, you wouldn't think it could happen on a ride like this!
10yr old did a mid-air moby-trick off the Moby Dick
I pray that the boy has a speedy recovery.
oh no we gotta make sure the ride and stuff is safe for everyone and intact sorry for your loss
I hope that little boy will be OK. I stopped. Going to theme parks ever since I seen that young teenager fall off that ride that drops that traumatize me seeing him fall like that this is even more reasons why I will not take my children’s to theme parks there’s other fun things to do out there. Prayers go out to him and his family and May he have a healthy recovery
Wow that little girl is so innocent 😭
So sorry 🙏 for what happened to your son praying 🙏 that he will get better soon God is good and may God bless the family 👪 Amen
Clearly *proper maintenance* is a MUST for all these rides *on a regular basis.*
everybody else seeing that lawsuit money coming and suddenly nobody had a working harness
i was always the lame mom who never let her kids ride these crappy rides controlled by random people.
Being a good mom
This actually happend to my daughter years ago at a fair.She said her belt was lifting while on the ride.When she got off she came running and started crying.Never been back on rides again at fairs.
Horrible accident, I hope he recovers soon. A couple of years ago when I was a sophomore in high school I went to a travel fair at my local park and went on the hammer ride. My harness did not lock in place and I made the worker well aware of it. He said I was fine and closed the gate to start the ride. The only thing holding me was a loose seat belt as I would go upside down. It was horrible and I’ve never gone on a ride at a travel fair ever since.
Stop the equity hires! We want the most qualified person for the job.
How terrifying, your kids just want to have fun not have this happen. I pray this boy can recover soon , bless him and his family ❤❤❤❤🙏
This kind of thing has been going on for a long time. I remember on my 8th grade class trip many years ago we went to an amusement park and I felt like I was going to be flung sideways off of one of the rides. I held on desperately for dear life until it was over.
Watching that mother made me tear up. That is absolutely terrifying.
"It suggests to me that we're not doing something right." Bro did you really just say that??! Your the safety consultant and that's the best you can come up with? Wow, just wow.
I remember till this day i went on a amusement ride when I was 8 years old. And i was soo skinny thay I almost slipped out of the harness. I had to hold myself there. Pure adrenaline.
Same! I went on a roller coaster for the first time, and when the first big drop hit, I felt myself sliding and had to hold on!
@@imiyannaThat's called airtime, you were perfectly safe lol.
@@Trahzy It wasn't airtime. It was one of those rides that held you upside down for some pauses and Twisted you around. It was like a swinging egg beater. If I let go when upside down. I would've fell right through. This was in the 90's. Why on earth they would let a child of my build even ride that thing is beyond me.
