While the amusement park remains closed on Thursday, civil servants and health and security personnel are investigating.

Theo, one -year -old son of Eccleston’s children’s stroller, was fortunately only a few bruises.

“Without the logic, it would be a completely different story because the metal railing would be above my car.” He said.

“He stopped the effect with his shoulder.”

Ecceston said he saw the children “screaming” and “crying”: “A car behind the journey had completely removed himself from the rail.

“No one could go out, and frankly my wife’s partner ran immediately to get the children.”

“Everything was very fast.

“My son Theo was completely shaken.

“It was terrible. The only thing you could hear was the screams of the children.”

Ms. Eccleston said that a child’s strange worm journey should be taken to hospital for “losing his teeth in his sticks”.

A Galli ambulance service spokesman, medical officials, ambulances and a dangerous area intervention team was sent to the scene, he said.

The park apologized for interruptions and said it would provide reimbursement to the affected customers as soon as possible.
