“At first people thought that the toy had stopped at the top for longer, to give more adrenaline, excitement,” says student Gabriel, 23, who preferred not to give his last name. “But after about 30 seconds, we began to hear cries for help from the children, from inside the cabins, up there, and from the parents, who were looking at everything, waiting for them.”
The young man was last night with his girlfriend, the student Juliana, at Yupie Park, an amusement park in Praia Grande (SP), and saw when the Kamikaze toy stopped with two 18-meter-high booths, keeping the attendees suspended. Despair seized the parents, who, according to Gabriel, even tried to jump into the space reserved for the toy to try to save their children.
Faced with this situation, Gabriel acted and ran to the park entrance to call the local fire brigade.
“There were three, who were taking temperature measurements of whoever was entering, due to the pandemic, and they had not realized the defect. When they looked up and saw that the Kamikaze stopped, they ran with me towards the toy.”
Then, with the help of the person responsible for the toy, the four employees manually pushed the Kamikaze until it hit the ground and were able to remove whoever was inside, according to the student.
“There were about six children and three adults inside the two cabins,” reports the young man, with the consent of his girlfriend.
“A woman was sick, she seemed dizzy after so long on her stomach, and she was treated by the firefighters of the park,” added Gabriel, noting that, from when she went to get help until the cabins came down, they left, “at least, five minutes that people were turned upside down. “
In an official note, Yupie Park reported that “there was a surge in energy that caused the toy to sit still for a few seconds longer than usual.”
However, with the arrival of our maintenance team, the standard procedure for these situations was carried out immediately. Once the power fluctuation was overcome, the employee turned on the equipment, which returned to normal operation. All visitors were safely disembarked, without complications. “
Later, however, the park’s press office informed the Twitter that “there was a technical stoppage that lasted approximately a minute and a half”, and that “one user was more sensitized and was attended by our team, promptly released.”
Unlike the students, the staff says that there were four people in total, who were trapped in Kamikaze.
Second incident in two weeks
However, Juliana says that while her boyfriend went to seek help, she took pictures and recorded videos of the incident.
“In the record of the time recorded in the photo archive, the first photo I took was at 8:24 p.m., and the last, when people left, at 8:34 p.m.”, he says, in a total interval ten minutes of the incident.
“So, we went to the exit of the toy and saw the children, a sick woman and the parents who tried to enter but the firefighters prevented them,” concludes the student.
The Praia Grande Fire Department confirmed to the report that two weeks ago, on January 8, there was a victim in another accident in Yupie Park, but in another toy, the Kraken. In the shape of an octopus, the team performs rotating movements, alternating the height. One of these “tentacles” plummeted, with a 19-year-old girl inside.
Yupie Park staff confirm the accident, but deny that there were any injuries. Also according to the Fire Department, the park inspection report is current and the inspection was carried out by the Municipality of Praia Grande.
“We were even thinking of going in for some toys. But, after the accident, we decided to leave. It even started to rain, with lightning ”, Gabriel concludes.
