Teen Injured on Butte Carnival Ride

A thirteen-year-old suffered a serious fall on the Yo-yo ride at Butte Civic Center, forcing the ride’s immediate shutdown and pending inspection. This marks the first incident for Midway West Amusements, a carnival company based in Arizona that’s operated in Butte without prior issues. The company’s owner, Jordan Jensen, faces unresolved allegations from 2021 involving human trafficking and identity document possession — though his current involvement remains unclear. The injured teen is hospitalized in Kalispell with his condition undisclosed, while the rest of the carnival moves on to its next stop. Midway West Amusements has yet to release an official statement. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
