BANGKOK – A malfunctioning hydraulic system was blamed for an accident at a Bangkok amusement park on Thursday night that left three visitors injured.
Two women aged 24 and 29, as well as a 14-year-old girl were injured in the accident, suffering bruises and cuts. They were all rushed to the Chaophraya Hospital.The amusement park’s general manager, Mr Somchai Chaidee, said it was discovered that a 50mm iron clasp of the arm had cracked, causing its seat to fall. Upon inspection, it was found that the arm’s hydraulic shock absorber was damaged.
The manager said the machine, imported from Italy, has a safety mechanism that stops the ride immediately after the accident, preventing other passengers from falling off their seats. Police investigators took photos of the scene and questioned the injured at the hospital. All those responsible will be summoned for interrogation.
