7/8/2006 - Boomerang - Submitted by Saffyful on 5/15/2007
Last summer I was at La Ronde one weekend and saw the most horrific thing I think i've ever seen. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was waiting in line for Le Boomerang and I was next to go on. I was waiting for my friend.. so I let people go infront of me until she got to where I was. She was too late, so we had to wait for the next train. Well.. the train went through it's course perfectly fine frontwards.. and then when it went to go backwards, the mechanism that catches it and pulls it up the second thing broke, and it didn't catch the train. The train had too much speed.. and it went all the way up the second hill and smashed into the metal bar at the top. It took about 20 minutes to get everyone off.. and the 2 people who were in the front got taken away on stretchers and were treated at the la ronde first aid shack for broken necks and were later sent to the montreal general hospital. I look back now and think.. I would have been there if it only weren't for my friend.
