oriolat Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Here's the article from a Spanish newspaper talking about the death of this teenager that died yesterday after riding the new coaster at Tibidabo, Muntanya Russa. La muerte del menor fallecido anoche tras perder el conocimiento en el parque de atracciones del Tibidabo se debió a causas naturales, según han confirmado fuentes del Hospital Clínic. Un familiar alertó al Servicio de Emergencias Médicas (SEM) a las 17.46 horas de que el joven, de 17 años, se había desmayado tras bajarse de la montaña rusa. Al llegar al recinto la unidad del SEM sustituyó a un médico, que ya había empezado la recuperación cardiopulmonar del joven en el lugar de los hechos. El SEM estuvo 45 minutos tratando de reanimarle, aunque finalmente le trasladó al Clínic, donde ingresó muerto, según informaron fuentes del centro hospitalario. El menor no había recibido ningún golpe ni había sufrido ningún daño en el recinto, según el parque de atracciones, que emitió anoche un comunicado de pésame a la familia y a los amigos.

A relative called the SEM (Medical Emergencies Services) by 5:46 pm, when the 17-year old teenager fainted after getting off the roller coaster. When the SEM unit arrived, they continued trying to resuscitate. After 45 minutes trying to reanimate via cardio pulmonary resuscitation the teenager was transferred to Hospital Clinic, where he entered already dead, according to the hospital. The teenager had not been hurt during his stay in the park, according to the Park. Yesterday, the park sent his condolences to the family and friends. I am really sad this happened to this kid. He probably didn't even know he had a heart condition. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
larrygator Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Sorry to hear of this happening at your park. I'm sure it is quite a shock to Tibidabo also.
Thelegendarymatthew Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 At least it was more accidental. I mean, he wasn't trying to get his hat by grabbing someones feet Anyways, I'm sorry for the family's lost. -Matthew K.
Jason Hammond Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I'm surprised. This isn't even that intense of a ride. It's definitely one of the smoothest Vekomas I've ever ridden.
