Shylah Rodden was left with ‘life-changing’ injuries when she was hit and flung into the air by the ride.
Jordan said he and his family, who were on the ride, were traumatised by the ordeal.
“We saw a lady in an area where she shouldn’t be. A worker told her to get away but we couldn’t hear the whole conversation, she just told her not to be there. That person started to walk away and I didn’t think much of it,” he said. “It is a tragic accident and from our understanding, there was a mobile phone at the base of the Rebel Coaster that she dropped on the ride and she went back to recover the mobile phone,” he said in October.“It is an extreme rollercoaster which is a lot of fun generally, but this was a tragic accident that shouldn’t have happened.”
