Girl defeeted by Six Flags ride
Girl's feet severed on ride at Six Flags in Kentucky
POSTED: 10:36 p.m. EDT, June 21, 2007

(CNN) -- A girl's feet were cut off Thursday when a free-fall thrill ride malfunctioned at the Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Amusement Park in Louisville, Kentucky, police said.

A cord wrapped around the 16-year-old's feet and severed them at her ankles while she was on the "Superman Tower of Power," a police dispatcher said. The girl was taken to a local hospital.

"That could have been all of us -- riding that ride," Whitney Sandfer, who witnessed the accident, told CNN affiliate WDRB/WMYO.

The incident took place shortly before 5 p.m. ET, according to Six Flags spokeswoman Wendy Goldberg. The park remained open, but the ride in question was shut down and will remain so until the full investigation is complete, Goldberg said.

During the ride, passengers are lifted to 177 feet, suspended momentarily and then dropped, according to the park's Web site.

Passengers drop 154 feet at 54 mph, stopping "just 20 terrifying feet above the pavement," it adds.

"I seen the car go up. Then, like, the cable broke, I heard -- pwchh -- and I heard a lot of people screaming," Chris Stinnett, who was at a ride next to the Superman Tower of Power, told WDRB/WMYO.

"The cable went under the car -- and I seen it pull up and hit a lot of people -- and I seen them bring their legs up," Stinnett said.

The ride was introduced in 1995.

Agreed. We should all be sensitive to the person this tragedy affects most: her creepy next-door neighbor with the foot fetish.

I blame the ride operator. Probably some dumb kid who left his foot on the pedal.

nope. but seriously, can't you imagine how tough it has been for me, for my whole life being Mr. Wright? Women everywhere... looking for me?

I buckled under pressure and got married in 2001. So, I have been breaking all the hearts ever since.

Now, if a beautiful brazilian/italian combo ever comes my way, though... may have to upgrade to wife2.0

-The grammar he used is another reason not to visit Kentucky kingdom.
