No injuries reported, but something terribly wrong has happened here.

There is always the risk of a catastrophic failure of a part due to hidden flaws during manufacture. With all the possible outcomes, it could have been worse.
This discussion has been archived and is no longer accepting responses.
Just to update this, there were injuries (one man had broken ribs and a punctured lung) and the ride car completely de-railed from the track. Apparently rescue authorties were at first unsure what stopped the cart from crashing to the ground. This was a major failure for a very young coaster. The cause is yet to be determined.
