Accident At UK Park

[ogryn]

A girl today plunged 100ft to her death on an Intamin Spillwater chute, basically a vertical drop giant splash.

The inncident happened at Oakwood Leisure park in Wales.

Its not yet known how she escaped the restraint system, or if the restraints failed.

A boy was also injured.

I can't even imagine how horrible that must be for her, or her family, or anyone who was watching.

I hadn't heard about this, what a shame.

Looks kind of like oblivion at Alton Towers, but into water.

A woman has fallen out of a ride of this type before it seems, although that, as reported, was most likely due to her weight and not fitting in the boat.
