People undertake joy rides in theme parks in order to spend some time among others and enjoy their leisure. They expect a safe ride and are caught unawares when something untoward happens. This accident occurred when two trains smashed into each other at a Legoland theme park. It happened when one of the trains applied the brake sharply. The venue of the accident was the Legoland Park in Guenzburg, Germany. Two persons suffered serious injuries and were moved to hospital by air. Media reports quoted the Bavarian Red Cross saying a total of 16 people were taken to hospital. The roller-coaster known as the fire dragon was involved in the crash. A spokesman of the police explained that a train on the ride braked sharply and another train crashed into it suddenly. It seems the safety bars on the rollercoaster failed to open in time. That left the people trapped on the ride. The sudden impact left many of the passengers injured.
German Legoland crash: At least 34 hurt after rollercoaster trains smash into each other
This accident comes just a month after a 14-year-old girl died in a horrific rollercoaster accident in Denmark. It happened at the Tivoli Friheden park in Aarhus. This is the second-largest city in Denmark and the accident left several people trapped up to 10 feet above the ground. It was the Cobra ride and the police rushed to the scene on receiving the news. In this case, two rear seats of the ride broke away from the rest. These were left hanging under the wagon train. Another kid, a 13-year-old boy sustained injuries to one hand. The authorities have undertaken investigations.
