Seven children were injured after a flying chair ride collapsed at an amusement park in El Callao, Venezuela, on Saturday night (12). The accident occurred around 10:20 PM when the structure detached during the ride's operation and threw passengers toward the ground. Images recorded after the accident show moments of panic, with people running to remove the debris and help the children. According to authorities, all suffered cuts and bruises and were taken to hospitals, although the severity of the injuries was not detailed.
The initial information points to a possible failure in the rotation axis or the central metal base of the ride as the cause of the accident. The equipment was shut down by authorities, and an investigation was opened to determine whether the accident was related to inadequate maintenance, material wear, or problems with the assembly of the attraction.
The case follows other accidents involving rides at amusement parks, raising concerns about the safety of these facilities in the region.
