It seems some woman fell from the El Loco roller coaster and was sent to the hospital. There's no word on how or why or where on the ride it happened, only that it was in motion.

I've been on the Canyon Blaster but never the El Loco.

Have you tried 22 tonight? I said 22.

In an odd twist, the woman who fell was already a double amputee (no word on which appendages) and was "ejected" from the ride. Initial reports said only that she fell while the ride was "in motion" which could mean something as simple as falling while getting into or out of a moving car at the station. This new update suggests that the ride's restraints were insufficient for a person of her physical characteristics. Still no word on the injuries she received from the accident or where on the ride she got "ejected" from.
