If you go to a carnival or amusement park this weekend, forget going on the YO-YO ride. Chance Rides Manufacturing Inc. of Wichita, Kansas is voluntarily recalling to inspect and repair about 85 YO-YO amusement rides across the country.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has received reports of incidents involving the YO-YO ride resulting in injuries to children and adults, including scraped knees and back strains. On May 16, 2008, 23 riders of a YO-YO ride in Angels Camp, Calif. fell to the ground when the sweep arms suspending the circular swinging chairs they were riding in broke free from the ride's center cylinder rod. The inspection program will focus on preventing future failures.
