Everybody stay calm!
I am currently writing a story about a guy who flips out on an amusement park log ride. I know, it sort of sounds like that ferris wheel episode of Emergency, a show that demands you find a way to mention the name of its star EMT, actor Randolph Mantooth, simply because he has such a kick-ass name. It will be hard not to write a scene where his character, John Gage, yells into a megaphone: "EVERYBODY STAY CALM!"
Anyway, in doing research, I found this site, which is, for all I can tell, one man's epic catalog of amusement park manglings and mishaps, apparently sponsored by no group in particular, making it, I suppose, some kind of ghoulish hobby site.
Thought I would share this with the masses in case you planned to wedge in a trip to Six Flags before Labor Day.

So, I'm probably too late to really make a difference here, but I should say that I LOVED Emergency! when I was growing up. Paired up with Adam-12 - what a combo. We used to have a record album (it was a double album actually) and each side had a rescue. We also had official emergency fire fighting gear...helmets, masks, oxygen tanks. It was great.
