Unverified Reports

3/2/2002 - Submitted by adamr34 on 3/28/2003
My step-son who was 13 at the time wasin the front right hand seat of the ride vehicle. As the ride approached the docking platform from which we disembarked his foot was pulled downwards by a brush/roller mechanism and forced between the platform and the ride carriage where it was trapped. On inspection there are no protective rails or guards to stop limbs becoming pulled in by the mechanism. He was trapped for approx 20 mins and was freed by the application of metal levers and brute strength. He suffered sever crushing of the foot and is still under medical treatment a year later. Long term disability is till a potential impact.

    That is why it says "Please keep your arms and LEGS inside the vehical at all times". However I'm sorry to hear about your step son's condition. -- Submitted by schoolsterz123 on 9/2/2006
