According to reports, the operator of the ride was helping a 12-year-old girl named Juliana Bernal into the car for the carnival ride when it was blown up by a sudden gust of wind. With Julian driving, the operator held the door and held it shut, saving the girl. In the end, both Juliana and the ride operator were saved as other employees used their expertise to bring the ride down.
The hair-raising incident shocked people who attended the festival. Juliana’s mother, Caress Muraira, recalled the terrifying experience in an interview with KMBT-TV.
“At first it started going slow and he was trying to stop it, her door wasn’t closed. So I started screaming. As he was going to close the door, he just took off with it. My daughter was up there talking to him saying, ‘Please and, hang on. Don’t fall,'” Muraira shared.

Muraira was really grateful to the operator for risking his life to save Juliana. She said that Juliana told her that the operator’s fingers were bloody during the gruesome incident.
The Groves Pecan Festival has been organized annually by the Groves Chamber of Commerce since 1969 and coincides with the pecan harvest.
