‘Like a giant whip': Cedar Point ride malfunction frightens parkgoers
SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) — What started as a fun Sunday night at Cedar Point quickly turned into a frightening experience for Ryan and his family. 'Me and my two daughters were next in line, standing directly below the drop towers,' Ryan said. 'I heard a twing type of sound—like tension being released—and then this giant cable came down. It was like slow motion.' VIDEO: Myles Garrett caught driving Ferrari at 100 mph on I-71 Ryan said a cable snapped on Cedar Point's Power Tower—an almost 300-foot-tall vertical drop attraction that towers over the middle of the park. 'I yelled, 'Oh my God!' It happened so fast. Then the cable hit the guard tower, and it sounded like the earth was coming to an end. That's when everyone started freaking out, scattering, and running,' he said. The park immediately evacuated riders and shut down the attraction. Thankfully, no one was hurt. 'That guard shack was 10 feet from us,' Ryan said. 'It was very close to being a bad situation.' According to Cedar Point, a single cable detached from one of the ride vehicles. A spokesperson said the ride's safety system worked as designed and all guests exited safely.

'That's scary—you think about what could happen to people on these rides,' parkgoer Katrina Rueberger said. 'It also makes you wonder how often they test the rides, inspections and things that need to be done.' The Ohio Department of Agriculture's Amusement Ride Safety Division said it is investigating the incident. 'ODA's Amusement Ride Safety Division and its inspectors have placed a Stop Operation Order on the ride and are working with Cedar Point and the ride's manufacturer to determine the cause of the incident. The Stop Operation Order will be released upon a complete reinspection of the ride,' the department said in a statement on Monday. The ride will remain closed until a complete reinspection is finished. Jury acquits Cleveland activists of extortion, intimidation 'It broke from the top. Whatever the weight of a steel cable falling from 250 feet is, it was like a giant whip. It was scary,' said Ryan. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Neighbor performs CPR, saves local family's choking dog
SOLON, Ohio (WJW) – Van and Karen Perch adopted their mixed breed dog, Winston, from a local shelter when he was just six months old. The laid back Winston, said to be great with kids, hates rides in cars but likes to bark at the Amazon delivery truck as it passes through their neighborhood. He also likes to go out routinely for walks. 'He's a walker and we are fortunate to have a bike trail and some other things around the area,' said Van Perch. 'We usually get in about a two-and-a-half or three-mile walk.' East side house fire: Cleveland firefighter taken to hospital, damages estimated at $200K Sunday's walk, however, was cut short after Winston found and instantly claimed a whole fried chicken drumstick that had been thrown out along a roadside. 'Once he latches onto food, it's like an iron jaw so we couldn't take it away from him,' said Van. 'We finally got home, my wife Karen said, 'lets put him in the backyard and try to keep an eye on him, see if we can snatch it away from him.'' But rather than give up his prized possession, Winston did his best to swallow it whole. 'Picture the drumstick — the big thick part of it — just lodged in his throat.' said Van. 'At first you could hear him wheezing so we were trying to get him to cough it out. He started running around the backyard and got Kem's attention next door.' Kem Cook, a next door neighbor and a career nurse who has worked in a hospital emergency department, was out on her patio. 'I saw Winston laying now on his side and I could hear Karen saying, 'come on buddy, come on buddy,'' said Cook. 'She did pick him up and she gave him some Heimlich thrusts, but he was at that point kind of out of it, not completely but lethargic.' Cook also started trying to perform the Heimlich maneuver, but the drumstick was lodged deep enough that she could not even really see it. Van found a pair of pliers and tried grabbing onto the bone to remove it from Winston's throat, but he was only able to get pieces of it out.

'I think I ran in to get the car keys thinking we would try to get him to a vet as soon as possible, Kem came over and said we don't have time,' said Van. The Heimlich may have moved the drumstick enough that, with the dog virtually unconscious, Cook could now reach in, wrap her fingers around it and tug it out. 'I pulled it out and he was floppy … I could tell he wasn't breathing, and his tongue was so blue it was black,' she said. Instinctively, Cook said she started CPR. 'I think it's just, you know, a chest is a chest, a heart is a heart,' she said. 'I've seen enough videos. I've seen people do it and I know that it's best done when a dog is on his side and he was on his side, so I just went right in the middle of the chest where I knew his heart would be and just started compressing using human principles, hard and fast. Just compress, compress, compress.' 'A few strokes and he came back, and we stopped and all of a sudden he just gasped and I was like he's, 'breathing, he's breathing,'' Cook added. 'I was never so happy to hear him cough,' said Van. Winston was raced 30 minutes to a veterinary hospital where he was examined and x-rayed and given a clean bill of health. 'They were kind of surprised, you know, it was a combination of reaching into his mouth with a pair of plyers and getting ahold of the bone and pulling it out and the CPR, the chest compressions and everything,' said Van. Kem said when she got the text showing her a picture of Winston alive and well, she became emotional. 'We are lucky to have good neighbors and we are lucky that the dog is a hearty dog and here we are today and we are able to talk about it,' said Van. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
