Wow that must have been one helluva collision to throw those jackstands that far from the trailer!I am not real familiar with the way a tilt racks but dont the jackstands mount in front of the bullplates?

The Tilt in this tragic accident belonged to an IN based show--Top Notch Amusements. I have a photo of this ride racked on the LaGrange
Co., IN fairgrounds that I took this past July. I compared the paint job on the Tilt tubs to my photo to confirm the identity before posting. From the photos it looks like the trailer & some of the racked ride parts were damaged--with some of the parts laying on the road. Hopefully, they were salvaged by the show. It is a very well maintained & neatly painted ride--racked or set up.
Anyone find out whos show owned the tilt??

Tilt looks pretty distinctive, someone should be able to identify whose it is:

The ride involved is a tilt, wiped out.

Did any local media report it? Seems like all the rest get reported.
