Shocking, isn’t it. Kids go to a fair to enjoy and have a good time, and due to non-regular maintenance, the ride simply collapses on the kids. Not only did this cause injuries to the kids and some adults, it would have shocking; at least for a couple of the kids, it will make it much more difficult for them to go to another fair and have the same amount of excitement for a Ferris Wheel again. The biggest issue is that there does not seem to be any kind of checks and balances for a fair like this, once the fair holders have permission to hold a fair, there is no check whatsoever about whether the machines are okay, have proper maintenance, and so on:

They were there for sheer fun, but a ride on the Ferris wheel turned out to be a traumatic experience for about 12 children and at least three adults, who suffered minor injuries when most of the wheel simply collapsed while in motion.
Although the organisers had the requisite permission to conduct the fair, they had not taken adequate precautions which led to the accident. Sources said the arms of the wheel came loose while in motion. “This could have happened as the nuts keeping the arms attached to the main body came loose,” an eye-witness remarked.

In can be argued that this was simply an accident, but that is not a correct argument. It is only when we are in a relaxed environment, unworried about things such as inspections of facilities, that people can take short-cuts, and either get shoddy maintenance done or no maintenance at all. There is no worry that they can be fined or otherwise held responsible for their doings. Another example is when you go to a ill-maintained building, then there is a fear that lifts in the building have not had proper maintenance, and we have all learned to live with such fears rather than trying to do something about it.
