Fairground shut after 3 thrown from ride

The work safety agency in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, urged safety inspections on recreational facilities on Monday after three people were seriously injured in an accident on Sunday.

Wang Limin, deputy director of the Xi'an work safety bureau, said the bureau has issued a bulletin calling for exhaustive inspections to eliminate hidden dangers and ensure the safe operation of recreational sites in the city.

"Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are coming, and we must give great attention to safety in recreational places because many tourists will visit them during the holidays," Wang said.
