US EditionInvestigation after incident involving ride at Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza
- On the morning of Saturday, May 3, during a Victorian-themed festival on Mostyn Street in Llandudno, North Wales, a ride’s carriage came loose, resulting in a child sustaining serious injuries and being admitted to hospital.
- Since its inception in 1986 by local leaders, the event has been held every year during the early May holiday period to encourage tourism during what is usually a slow season.
- A representative from Llandudno Community Events CIC reported that an incident involving a ride occurred at around 10:15 AM. Although the Health and Safety Executive inspected the site and allowed the ride to continue operating, the organisers decided to close it for the rest of the event as a mark of respect for the family affected.
- The carriage fell several meters mid-operation while the child remained inside, and the child is reported to be in stable condition as organizers maintain contact with the family.
- The ride operator launched an investigation into the malfunction’s cause, which preliminary findings suggest involved human error, with the Health and Safety Executive continuing to support the family and monitor the case.
