LANGLEY, Washington (AP) -- An amusement park operator was killed Saturday when his hair got caught on a roller coaster car, pulling him up as high as 40 feet before he fell, back-first, onto a fence.

Doug McKay, 40, was spraying lubricant on the tracks of the Super Loop 2, a ride at the Island County Fair on Whidbey Island, when his long hair got caught on a car full of fairgoers, sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Smith said.

"It basically scalped him, and he fell and landed on the fence," Smith said.

McKay, co-owner of Paradise Amusements, based in Post Falls, Idaho, was pulled between 25 and 40 feet into the air.

Paradise Amusements had set up rides at the Island County Fair, located about 30 miles northwest of Seattle, for the past three years, Smith said.

Smith said grief counselors were on hand but that the fair continued after the incident.

lol...I'd never heard the expression "mullet" before Octavious told me what it was...great name for that haircut.

Who in their right mind would actually want one based on that name? Do you wake up in the morning and say to yourself "I think today I am going to get a mullet. I really want that "white trash" look.""?

You didn't shoot me down Vulcan, I was running in a hard dive from your Typhoon and broke my wings in the F4U-1D. You said, and I quote, "No guts, no glory."

Well, I didn't know at the time a corsair couldn't outrun a tiffie, and now I know. for not calling me a coward, after I explained things to you. You're a class act Vulcan!!! You're a good guy, no matter what anyone else says.

That's BS! Just because someone's hair got them killed doesn't mean mullets are bad. I bet there are several carnival operators with mullets that have never been a safety issue (several = more 6 or more).
