Girl Seriously Hurt at Amusement Park
A young girl was seriously hurt at a popular amusement park Friday when she plunged more than 40 feet and hit the ground in a bungee-type of attraction.
A 12 year old who was visiting the Wisconsin Dells with her family reportedly was outfitted in a special harness, taken up in an elevator and then dropped straight down into a large net. Instead, the net reportedly was not high enough above the ground to break her fall and she hit the ground, according to Lake Delton Police Chief Thomas Dorner.
She reportedly was taken to the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison by helicopter but details of her injuries were not available.
The ride, called Terminal Velocity at the Extreme World amusement park in Madison, Wisconsin, reportedly is closed while police and state regulators investigate the tragedy.
