Amusement Park Accidents That Will Give You Nightmares

Roller Coaster Cars Collide in England

In 2015 park visitors of the Alton Towers amusement park in England were horrified when two cars on a roller coaster ride collided. The ride had been stopped earlier in the day due to technical problems, before starting up again. The accident left passengers unconscious and bleeding as the cars collided and then stopped, leaving passengers stranded 25 feet off of the ground. Luckily one of the cars was empty, however, the car that collided with the empty car carried 16 people. Two girls and two boys were helicoptered to the nearby hospital with serious leg injuries. People looking on described the crash as shocking, with many people screaming and running over to the site of the accident. Luckily no one was killed.
