LETZTE BEARBEITUNG AM 15-Jan-01 UM 15:50 Uhr ()>War das der Unfall auf "DEMON"?
JA
Und bevor wieder jemand fragt was bei diesen Unfall passierte, hier eine Meldung davon (sorry, war zu faul um das zu übersetzten)
(Saturday, April 18, 1998) - At Six Flags Great America Theme Park in Gurnee, Illinois, 23 riders on the Demon roller coaster were left stranded upside-down after the train in which they were riding stopped in the middle of a vertical loop. Firefighters used a cherry picker to bring the passengers to safety. Some riders were stuck for nearly three hours. Four passengers were treated at local hospitals and released.
Investigators concluded that the accident was caused by mechanical failure. The accident happened when a wheel that runs along the inside of the track broke off from the axle of the last car after a nut loosened. The ride's safety systems engaged, preventing the train from derailing.
The park has installed a new safety mechanism to the trains.
