I dont know about Breckenridge, but my 12 year old got hurt pretty bad (second degree burns on his legs, arm and face) on the one in Vermont, and an adult friend of mine got hurt on one last weekend. The injury rate is very high, the rider controls the speed and it is easy to dump or get thrown off taking a turn too fast. Many places that have them also have EMS staff on site to deal with the injuries.
