Crews Rescue 28 Trapped Face-Down on Ride at US Amusement Park In a harrowing incident, crews rescued 28 people who became trapped face-down on a ride at an amusement park in Hamilton, New Jersey on Saturday. The incident occurred on the “Kingda Ka” roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure. The 456-foot-tall coaster is one of the tallest and fastest in the world. According to a park spokesperson, the train on the coaster encountered a mechanical issue that caused it to stop abruptly. The passengers were left suspended upside down, with their faces pressed against their safety harnesses. Emergency crews responded quickly to the scene. They used ropes and ladders to reach the trapped passengers and carefully guide them to safety. “They were very scared and shaken up,” said one of the rescuers. “But we were able to get them down without any major injuries.” The park said in a statement that all of the rescued passengers were evaluated by medical personnel and released. The cause of the mechanical issue is still under investigation. The ride has been closed until further notice. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety at amusement parks. Park officials urge guests to follow all posted safety instructions and to report any suspicious activity or malfunctions to staff members immediately.Emergency Crews Rescue 28 Stranded Riders from Amusement Park AttractionEmergency Crews Rescue 28 Stranded Riders from Amusement Park Attraction Emergency crews in Oregon successfully rescued 28 people trapped upside down on a ride at a century-old amusement park for approximately half an hour.
