Indiana State Fair Stagecoach Ride Goes Bad

The opening to the 6 horse carriage ride starts off bad.

Oh yes…the good ol’ …”as soon as the moment that everyone is watching this video happens, let’s point the camera at the ground.”

The horses were amazing - stood still immediately!

Amazingly trained horses that they immediately stopped! Also love how as soon as the carriage toppled, all those people immediately rushed in to help. Way better response than freezing and staring like a lot of volunteers do at our local horse shows😂

Another person that points the camera at the ground right when the good part happens

Saw that coming. They were just going to fast for the conditions of the arena.

It's to bad the video went away right when things were happening.

Great horses, they stood still IMMEDIATELY. I just hope all animals and humans were fine after that!

the carriage toppled just like the person holding the camera.

It wasn’t the horses’ fault here. It was the planner of this event. They should’ve picked a wider arena because cutting corners like that, as you saw, is so dangerous.

To the people commenting that the photographer dropped the camera when it happened: that means they're human and have empathy. The natural reaction was for the person, not the footage. The same people would complain if they kept filming with no compassion to help the person being filmed.

I hope the Indiana state fair queen didn't get maimed. Other comments are spot on the driver was hitting the turns too fast. Also it is amazing that those horses all stopped on a dime in unison. They were extremely well trained and disciplined. Some horses spook easily especially with a crowd. All six halting was remarkable.

Didn't take a rocket scientist to see how top heavy it was.

something happens - quick camera man, film the floor

I happened to walk into the Pepsi Coliseum moments after this happened. It looked bad. I'm glad to hear the injuries were not serious.

"...and the camera man of the year award goes to...THIS GUY"

I really appreciate the way the photographer lowered the camera at the exact moment of the incident.

I’m not really sure why a good chunk of the comments are amazed the horses stopped. They were pulling something on wheels. It is no long on wheels and dragging. Resistance is the signal to stop / slow down from the driver.

[coreysmith]

Why when the best part happens the camera doesn’t catch it 🤦🏻‍♂️

[shezakillrqueen]

Awesome horses! How calm they keep and that they stopped like immediately, wow
