Teenager Injured in Amusement Park Fall Ontario, Canada – A 17-year-old girl was seriously injured after falling from a ride at Canada’s Wonderland amusement park on Sunday evening. According to witnesses, the girl was riding the ShockWave roller coaster when she fell from her seat at a height of approximately 20 feet. She landed on a concrete surface below. Paramedics arrived on the scene and transported the girl to a local hospital where she was treated for multiple injuries, including a broken arm and facial lacerations. Her condition is currently stable. Park officials have closed the ShockWave ride while an investigation into the incident is underway. The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), which oversees amusement ride safety in Ontario, has also been notified. “We are deeply concerned about the well-being of the injured guest and are cooperating fully with the authorities,” said a spokesperson for Canada’s Wonderland. “Safety is our top priority, and we are committed to ensuring that all of our rides operate safely and reliably.” The incident has raised concerns about the safety of amusement rides in Ontario. In 2018, a 23-year-old man died after falling from a ride at another amusement park in the province. The TSSA is responsible for inspecting and certifying all amusement rides in Ontario to ensure they meet safety standards. The authority has a history of responding promptly to incidents and issuing enforcement orders where necessary. The investigation into the Canada’s Wonderland incident is expected to take several days. In the meantime, the park remains open, but the ShockWave ride will remain closed until further notice.Teenager Injured in Fall from Amusement Park RideTeenager Injured in Fall from Amusement Park Ride On Thursday afternoon, a 17-year-old girl was injured after falling from the Swing of the Century ride at Canada’s Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario.
