A person reportedly fell from a ride at Canada’s Wonderland on Thursday.
Global News reports that the person was subsequently taken to a trauma centre.
York Region Paramedic Services said they responded to the amusement park in Vaughan at around 2:30 p.m. after receiving a call that a person had fallen from a ride.
A statement from Wonderland said that around 2.35 p.m., ride operators for the Swing of the Century ride reported a guest injury.
“Park medical staff and EMS responded, and the guest was taken to hospital. An incident investigation is underway. The safety of our guests and associates is our top priority,” the statement said.
There is no word on the victim’s age or gender or how serious their injuries were.
The amusement park’s website says the Swing of the Century is a “chair swing family ride.”
It takes “riders through the air in individual seats that are raised and lowered at a soothing space.”
It was one of the original 28 rides when the park first opened.
