Investigators still have not determined how the seat the girl and two others were sitting in flipped at a Tennessee county fair, causing an accident that sent all three plummeting to the ground and left the 6-year-old with a traumatic brain injury. Officials in Tennessee do not inspect rides and amusement parks. The state relies partly on private inspectors hired by operators to determine whether Ferris wheels and other rides are safe.
