A six-year-old boy in Florida was left severely injured at a theme park after apparently falling from a journey that was almost seven metres above the place he was discovered, authorities mentioned.
The incident occurred Thursday afternoon at Fun Spot America’s Galaxy Spin curler coaster journey in Kissimmee, round 35 kilometres south of Orlando.
“Units arrived to find a six-year-old with traumatic injuries under the roller coaster track, which was approximately 20 feet above,” Osceola County spokesperson Mark Pino advised CNN in an announcement.
The little one was transported to an Orlando hospital, Pino mentioned.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services advised CNN it’s conscious of and investigating the incident.
Fun Spot America Theme Parks mentioned in an announcement the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services inspected the journey and located it to be in “normal operating condition with no mechanical issues,” however the curler coaster stays closed pending an investigation.
Fun Spot America, which operates theme parks in Florida and Georgia, mentioned it’s working with the division and the journey’s producer on the investigation, in keeping with the discharge.
“All our guests can rest assured knowing that Fun Spot America will not reopen the ride until we are 100 per cent sure this will not happen again,” the news launch said.
