I know it's many years since this request was put here. But this popped up during an interview with my father this week.
My father and mother was visiting Liseberg (Sweden) in 1963 (Sept-6), and was sitting on the bench next to the Meteor. Suddenly an axel broke, and crashed onto that same bench, fortunately he noticed it breaking, and pulled his wife (mom) away from the bench. They would not have survived if didn't se it, but they survived without any harm. 15 people got hurt at that incident.
