Two were injured, not seriously, when a cable snapped on the “Xcelerator” roller coaster at Knotts Berry Farm in Garden Grove, CA. The accident is currently being investigated by the Department of Safety and Health as well as internally by Knotts. Shortly after the accident, a PR person, im guessing, from Knotts released the following statement:
Buena Park, Calif. (September 16, 2009) – Two guests were transported to the hospital today when a cable came loose from the Xcelerator roller coaster at Knott’s Berry Farm. The incident caused lacerations to one 12 year old guest who came in contact with the cable. A male adult guest complained of back pain. All other guests were asked for a statement and released.
Knott’s officials immediately suspended operation of Xcelerator. The ride is being inspected by Knott’s Berry Farm and DOSH. The ride will remain closed until a full investigation can be performed.
Fortunately the accident was not that bad, and it was caught on tape. This is a case of an accident hopefully causing just enough problems without anyone getting seriously injured for Knotts to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
