The Chicago Tribune reports that the death of a young fan at a the Oshkosh Music Festival on 14 July was from a festival ride that hadn't been looked at by inspectors since it was cleared for use three years ago.

 

Elizabeth K. Mohl, 16, of Menasha, fell from a harness on an Air Glory giant rope and died a short time later at a hospital.

 

Although the state Department of Commerce isn't publicly discussing its investigation, a day after the fall, a state inspector had concerns about the safety of the harness, according to an e-mail obtained last under the state's Public Records Law.
