Investigations into the accident in Klotti Park: the victim died from the fall

A medical cause, which could have caused the woman to fall out of the ride, is ruled out.

The public prosecutor's office in Koblenz announced on Wednesday (10 August) that the initial suspicion of a criminal offense had not yet been confirmed.

Accordingly, the victim first slipped on the roller coaster seat and then fell off the track.

When an expert opinion on the incident will be available is not yet foreseeable.

Documents about the roller coaster were made available by both the supervisory authority and the operator.

They are currently being evaluated and witnesses are being heard.

A witness has already raised serious allegations against the operator of the amusement park.

The roller coaster is a special construction.

After accidents in which people were injured, such systems must be checked for operational and structural safety.
