The attraction sinks to the ground, but continues to spin. 17 people were injured, most of them children.
During mass festivities in the Czech city of Haviřov, a chain carousel collapsed. 17 people were injured, most of them children. The incident took place on Saturday, September 3, according to Ceske Noviny.
It is known that the accident happened at 15:15 in the city center. This is a more extreme version of the chain carousel. The structure with seats is raised on the central column to a height of about 15 meters.
As we descended, the round should have ended, but due to a technical malfunction, it did not.
Police said people were injured when the ride hit the ground but continued to spin.
“They were injured because they crashed into the railing. We are investigating what exactly happened,” said a spokesman for the Moravian-Silesian police.
An emergency services spokesman added that five ambulances arrived at the scene. Most of the victims sustained minor and moderate injuries. Two people were seriously injured, but none were life-threatening.
Recall that a year ago in Kharkiv, visitors were stuck on a “roller coaster”. They have to go down the stairs from the attraction.
