Police launched an investigation after a person in their 30s was flung outside while riding the Disco Pang Pang at Wolmido in Incheon. The rider reportedly was trying to put on a shoe when the accident happened.
According to the Incheon Jemulpo Police Station on the 26th, at about 9:23 p.m. on the 23rd, a person identified only as A fell outside the ride while on the Disco Pang Pang at an amusement park in Bukseong-dong, Jemulpogu, Incheon.
A complained of pain in the head and neck and was taken to a hospital, and the injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
In a police interview, A reportedly said, "One shoe slipped off, and when I loosened one arm to put it back on, my body suddenly fell backward."
Police suspect A fell over the railing due to the ride's centrifugal force and recoil and are verifying the exact circumstances of the accident. They also plan to investigate whether there was professional negligence by the disc jockey (DJ) operating the ride and the facility manager.
