Injured mother-daughter duo under observation: Imagica

The mother-daughter duo injured in a mishap during a roller-coaster ride at Adlabs Imagica amusement park near here are under observation and receiving all required medical attention, the park officials said today.
Purnima Rathi (35) and her daughter Mamta (16), from Kolkata, were injured when a "technical malfunction" resulted in the roller-coaster suddenly stalling on its track yesterday, Adlabs Imagica said in a statement here.
The park had yesterday claimed the two guests had suffered "minor injuries" while enjoying the 'Bandits of Robin Hood' ride at the entertainment centre in Khopoli, about 100 km from Mumbai, in adjoining Raigad district.

Adlabs Imagica Assistant Vice-President (Safety and Security) Ashutosh Kale said the mother had a cut in the forehead which has been stitched up and she is currently recuperating in the intensive care unit of a local hospital.
Her daughter has suffered a fracture on the shoulder blade (scapula) and on her chin, he added.
The mother does not have any signs of a head or skull injury, and will be soon moved out of ICU, he said in the statement, adding her CT scan showed everything was normal.

In the daughter's case, Kale said the shoulder blade fracture will "heal on its own and does not require any medical intervention", while the chin fracture will be "fixed by our surgeon".

While the park management said only two guests were injured in the accident, media reports put the number at 4 to 5. "An Adlabs Imagica team is with the injured and is making sure their every need is attended to," the statement added.
The park, located off Mumbai-Pune Expressway, was opened for public in April last year. Built at a cost of over Rs 1,000 crore, it charges up to Rs 1,900 per visitor per day for a regular ticket.
