IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Authorities are investigating the cause of an accident that killed a boy on a popular boat ride at an Iowa amusement park — the second deadly incident on the ride in five years.
这次事故发生在星期六晚上,在阿尔托翁岛冒险河上的傲慢河,爱荷华州阿尔托纳,当时一艘携带六人翻倒。
星期一表示,迈克尔·贾米略周日,他的伤病周日遭受了伤害,另一位未成年人仍然在批评状态下住院治疗。另外两位车手遭受轻微伤害。
“我们的思想和祈祷与Jaramillo家族一起导航他们的孩子的闭心丧失,”警察发言人Alyssa Wilson说,并不确定家庭居住的地方。
The ride uses a conveyor belt to move large circular rafts through rapids. After the boat overturned for reasons that remain unclear, emergency responders and witnesses helped to free the riders, and four were taken to a hospital for treatment, Wilson said. Four off-duty Altoona officers and fire medics who were working at the park “quickly responded,” she said, rebutting an earlier claim by fire officials that the ride’s location far from park entrances made it hard for responders to reach.
她说,侦探正在与冒险乡村和州视察员合作“了解这种悲惨的事故”。
冒险兰州表示,自此次发生以来,骑行已关闭,家庭拥有的公园与调查人员合作。代表个人伤害案件的冒险师傅,并协助公园的回应,表示,询问将是全面的。
“安全是冒险的首要任务,”库克写在短信中。“汹涌的河流骑行已经运行了近四十年。这是一个安全的骑行。“
The ride opened for the first time during the 2021 season after a state inspection Friday found it was in sound working order, Adventureland said.
Altoona是DES MOINES东部20,000人的城市。该公园,他的过山车可以从80号州际公路看,预计今年约有60万位游客。
The Iowa Division of Labor is responsible for conducting safety inspections of amusement rides at least once a year. Division administrator Joseph Mullen said only that the “unfortunate incident” was under investigation.
自1983年以后,肆虐的河流是公园的主食。Terry Branstad占据了一个现成的骑行。Adventurelland广告骑行是一种“与整个家庭冷却的好方法”,警告参与者可能会浸泡。
但骑行近年来一直是两个悲剧的网站。
2016年6月,赛季雇员史蒂夫布恩,68岁,另一个工人帮助车手进出船只,当骑行意外开始时,脚踏出来。Booher落在下面约3英尺(1米)的传送带上,楔入船和混凝土侧壁之间,在那里他的头部被反复撞击,直到乘坐的操作员将其关闭。
Booher died days later. An autopsy found the cause of death was trauma to the skull and brain.
爱荷华州职业安全和健康管理局罚款冒险冒险4500美元用于安全违规,称该公园应该安装设备,以确保在运营商允许船舶之前安全地定位骑行助手。
The park’s insurer last December also settled一个不法的死亡诉讼Boopher的妻子为47岁及其成年儿童的未披露金额带来。诉讼据称,骑行运营商通过违反公园规则而过早地开始骑行并将其留在运作中,即使是漏洞伤害,顾客对他喊道喊叫。
厨师说两次事故之间没有共同性,但在调查完成之前,他无法评论周六的事故。
法院纪录显示冒险王国近年来被其他骑行受伤的人起诉,包括滑水道。
Iowa OSHA records show the agency most recently fined Adventureland in 2018, after an employee working on a roller coaster was knocked off a transformer and fell to the ground when he was struck by a test ride. The employee was hospitalized with a broken arm. Adventureland settled safety violations by agreeing to pay $14,500 in 2019.
