Florida rollercoaster derails hurling two riders 34ft to ground
Source: The Guardian
Two rollercoaster riders fell 34ft when their car derailed and was left dangling from the track high above the Daytona Beach boardwalk on Thursday night. Firefighters used ladders to pull eight others to safety.
“Two people done fell out and clanked their head on the ground,” one witness said in a video posted by WKMG-TV .
“The front car which was holding four passengers completely came off the tracks,” said a Daytona Beach Fire spokeswoman, Sasha Staton. Two of the four fell from the Sand Blaster ride and suffered traumatic injuries, while “the other two were still in the car dangling,” she said.
Fire department photos showed the red car hanging at an odd, perpendicular angle, with another car jammed behind it. In videos posted on social media by witnesses, two people can be seen dangling from the car’s seats and metal scaffolding beneath the track. Bystanders gathered under the passengers, stretching out their hands to assure them that help was coming.

I worked rides. Drank a lot of beer, smoked a lot of stuff and heard these words too many times, "I'll get them tight after lunch
I never heard that one though, "Two people done fell out and clanked their heads on the ground".
Nope, never
