A cord wrapped around the girl’s feet severed them at her ankles. The girl was taken to a local hospital.

“We saw the cable just snap,” a witness said. “And as it was coming down, it snapped again and then the people on the ride came and just hit the ground. When I went up there, the lady she was just sitting there and she didn’t have any legs. She didn’t have any legs at all. She was just calm, probably in shock for everything.”

    thats scary and quite terrible! theres a ride just like that at kennywood park in pennsylvania we go there alot but now that i heard this i probably wont be riding it anymore :(

  • Kaitlyn

    yahh i’ve been on that one in Kennywood, even though I live in Florida. They have rides like that in almost eery amuesment park that i’ve been to [ which is alot, i love the thrills]. andwhil it is extrememly sad, i doubt it will happen again. They’ll be watching those rides like a hawk to make sure it doesn’t re-occur.

    What a terrible thing to happen to such a young girl… My thoughts and prayers go out to her.
    The same ride is also at Canada’s Wonderland but with a different name, Drop Zone. I used to love that ride and now I doubt I’ll ever trust getting on it again.
