Adventureland Amusement Park on Long Island was the site of a ride-related fatality on Thursday, the second such incident in as many days, according to a report on a radio station Web site. According to 1010 WINS, an unidentified middle-aged woman was thrown from the Farmingdale, N.Y., park's Top Scan ride. She smashed through the windshield of a car parked nearby, according to the station. A park employee was killed on Wednesday when he was struck by an empty kiddie coaster car (AB, Sept. 1). Both incidents are under investigation. Thursday's incident was the latest in a string that have brought the wrong kind of attention to New York amusement facilities. A worker was killed setting up rides for E. James Strates Shows at the New York State Fair in Syracuse last week. And in August, a boy was killed after falling from a ride at Rye Playland. The fatalities at Adventureland were the first on record at the park, a state Department of Labor spokesman told WINS.
