Himalaya, 1999
In 1999, a 17-year-old girl named Nadine Caban lost her life while riding the Himalaya amusement park ride on Coney Island. The ride malfunctioned and ejected the teen from her seat. She was pinned between one of the cars and the track. The ride’s cars had started convulsing violently and it was one of those jolts that sent her to her death. Eight other passengers suffered some minor injuries but were released at the scene.
