Parents of unrestrained girl killed on ride sue Colorado theme parkOperators failed to notice Wongel Estifanos, 6, was sitting on top of seat belts, according to a state probe into her death at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Pretty clear negligence here :( the safety warning was disengaged, their last to chance to save her was ignored :( I wish I contacted earlier Vincent_R_Wate this year I'm sharing this to encourage every beginner and Bitcoin lover to get in touch with her she is very legit and God fearing person Vincent_R_Wate This almost happened to my sister on Magnum XL at Cedar Point about 20 years back. Thankfully I noticed she was unbelted (tho the bar was down) & belted her in before we crested the first hill.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesSo sad 😭, she’s so cute HOW. THE. HELL. Do you allow a 6 year old child on a ride like this, without an adult next to her? The parents should sue this place for so much money that the 'Adventure Park' has to close permanently. This was negligent homicide at least.
