A toy known as an elevator collapsed and left three injured on Sunday night (11), at an amusement park in the Satellite neighborhood, in Itanhaém, on the coast of São Paulo. According to the city hall, the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) and the Fire Department were called at 9 pm.
The victims had spinal injuries. Two of the injured, a 12-year-old child and a 22-year-old woman, were taken to the Sister Dulce Hospital, in Praia Grande, a neighboring municipality. They underwent tomography and were evaluated by a traumatologist, being later released. Both will wear a vest while resting at home.
The 4-year-old and 9-month-old child, who was also referred to the same hospital, presented with abdominal, coccyx and sacral pain. She remains hospitalized for pediatric surgical and orthopedic evaluation.
With regard to the operation of the amusement park Diego’s Park, the application for a permit to operate was made by the Via Rapida Empresa of the Government of the State of São Paulo, which issued the self-declaratory document, according to the city hall.
The municipality also said that the park has a Fire Department Inspection Auto (AVCB) valid until November 23, 2022.
“It also has an ART technical report (Annotation of Technical Responsibility) signed by the responsible engineer that attests to the safety of the inspected toys at the time of release from the AVCB. It so happens that the equipment where the accident took place was installed at the site after the issuance of these reports, and the park owner did not notify the municipal authorities and the Fire Department at any time,” he said in a statement.
The city government reinforces that it carries out the periodic inspection necessary for the renewal of the license or in case of complaints, and any alteration to the equipment without authorization or document updating is the direct responsibility of the owner of the enterprise.
On Monday (12), during inspection, the Secretariat of Economic Development, the inspection of private works and the Civil Defense, notified the enterprise for the immediate suspension of activities. After the inspection, the park was sealed to prevent further accidents involving the toy.
Wanted by the report, those responsible for Diego’s Park were not located.
