» WOMAN KILLED ON A NEW YORK THRILL RIDE

June 30, 2007 | Category:IN THE NEWS | Author: Josh Cox

The woman was killed Friday night on the Mind Scrambler at Playland Amusement Park in Rye, N.Y., just north of New York City, Westchester County Police spokesman Kieran O’Leary said.

Emergency workers responded quickly, “but there wasn’t very much anybody could do for her,” O’Leary said. The woman, who was in her 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene around 9:30 p.m., he said.

Police were investigating early Saturday and released few details about the accident. The woman’s name was not released because her family had not been notified.

The indoor attraction spins riders around in a darkened tent with flashing lights. It was the scene of another deadly accident May 22, 2004. Stephanie Dieudonne, 7, wriggled free of the restraining bar on one of the cars, knelt on the seat and fell soon after the ride started, according to investigators.
