After a 57-year-old was thrown off a roller coaster and killed in Klotten, in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, the ride was released by authorities. The amusement park announced that it will reopen to visitors from Tuesday. However, they do not want to use the roller coaster for the time being…
“Authorities are still investigating how the accident could have happened. Meanwhile, on-site investigations have been completed and the roller coaster affected by the accident has been immediately released for use again,” Klotti-Park wrote on Facebook. There are no visitors on the roller coaster, where a German fell eight meters on Saturday.You want to ask the TÜV for a review first.
Rescue workers were initially unable to find any fatalities
As the Koblenz prosecutor reported, the victim “first began to slip in a bend in her seat before falling from a height of about eight meters off the track. She died at the scene of the accident.” Particularly tragic, rescuers initially struggled to locate the accident victim in the hard-to-reach area.
The 57-year-old’s body is now undergoing an autopsy. An expert would have to take a closer look at the roller coaster and the affected car and “examine possible causes of the accident”, as reported by “Bild”. Witnesses must also have their say.
