Child seriously injured from coaster ride fall

A 6-year-old child is in hospital with ‘traumatic injuries’ after falling from a roller coaster ride.

It happened at Fun Spot in Kissimmee, Florida.

The fire department said the boy fell about 20 feet from the ride and was rushed to hospital.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the child and their family, and we pray for a speedy recovery,” Fun Spot said in a statement.

The Galaxy Spin ride is closed pending a full investigation, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said.

Fun Spot says there were no mechanical issues and it was inspected by the department.

“They also found the ride was operated following all safety procedures and industry standards.”
