A terrifying incident unfolded in Bangkok Noi as a schoolgirl with a heart condition lost consciousness on the famed Viking ride. The alarming incident happened around 8 pm near Somdet Phra Pinklao Bridge, with Bang Yi Khao Police and rescue workers racing to her aid. The girl, still in her school uniform, was discovered lifeless near the ride, prompting immediate rescue efforts.

 

Identified as a student from Thon Buri, her specific details remain under wraps. Photos show park staff frantically fanning her in hopes of revival, suspecting that the crowded setting exacerbated her collapse. They swiftly administered CPR before rushing her to Siriraj Hospital, but we don't know her current status.

 

Reports from ThaiRath highlight her pre-existing heart condition, which likely played a role as she enjoyed the high-thrill ride with friends. Online commentators have been quick to caution those with health issues from partaking in such daring activities, emphasising past accidents at small parks.

 

Memories of a shocking incident from last June linger, when two women were electrocuted exiting a Tagada ride in Lopburi. The staff blamed a malfunctioning decorative light, but they have not disclosed any updates on the victims or compensations.

 

The unsettling events raise urgent questions about safety measures in place at amusement parks, especially for vulnerable riders. As the investigation continues, tighter scrutiny on ride operations and emergency protocols could likely ensue.
