Wildcat, 1997
In 1997, a 14-year-old boy was thrown from an amusement park ride when the roller coaster car slipped backwards and slammed into the car behind it on the Wildcat ride at Bell’s Amusement Park. Eyewitnesses claimed they saw the boy being ejected from the front car where he slammed his head on the ride’s metal bar. Two other boys, a dad and his two daughters, and another girl were also injured and treated at a separate hospital.
