Mom Watches In Horror As Her 2 Girls Are Thrown From A Ferris Wheel At The Fair

Fairs are a place for family, friends, and most importantly, children.
With the endless games, rides, and yummy treats, who else would enjoy it more than a family with little kids in tow?
The Reynolds family from Tennessee were definitely excited for their day at the fair with their two little girls, but it did not end up the way they had hoped.
Kayla, 10, and Briley, 6, went on the Ferris wheel together. And as their parents watched, a disaster unfolded.
The Ferris wheel baskets got stuck to one another, and because seat belts and restraints are not required by law, the little girls were thrown into the air and down to the ground, within seconds.
They dropped 40 feet and had nothing but the hard ground to break their fall.
While Kayla sustained only minor injuries, her sister is still in the hospital recovering from a major brain injury. People have been sending their love and support from all over, including The Band Perry who has made these little girls crack a smile.
The recovery won’t be easy for this young girl, but it will be worth it.
In the meantime, their story is one that needs to be heard

This photo showing the devastating position that the little girls’ basket got stuck in is hard to look at. As their parents watched, they tried to get the control man to stop the ride. Their father says he could see them trying to grasp for things to hold onto, but the intense incline of the basket thrust them out of the ride before anyone could help.
The girls fell 40 feet to the ground, both of them ending up in the hospital.
The following image may be difficult for some viewers to look at.

Right after the accident, Riley was severely injured. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, and she had become so swollen that her mom says she was almost unrecognizable.
She says that when Briley fell, she “smacked” the top of a gondola, and her eyes rolled into the back of her head.
Riley’s big sister Kayla, on the other hand, is quickly recovering from her broken arm.
In an interview, she says that her arm saved her life. All she’s worried about is her baby sister
