A tourist was ejected approximately 13 feet from a roller coaster at Parque Samanes in Guayaquil, Ecuador, sustaining serious injuries, according to reports. The incident occurred Monday as the ride moved along its track, with other amusement park patrons heard screaming in horror.
The injured individual was transported to a hospital for urgent medical care. Reports indicate the park-goer was not secured by a seatbelt on the "min-rollercoaster." Local authorities have temporarily closed the amusement park as they investigate the cause of the accident, examining potential mechanical failures or safety violations. A preliminary report from some park employees suggests the woman may have fainted during the ride, leading to a loss of balance. Her current condition is unknown, and the investigation remains ongoing.
