'Shocking' Legoland coaster death

A 21 year old employee of Legoland amusement park was killed in a roller coaster accident. The employee, who was not identified, died immediately on Sunday after being hit by a roller coaster car. Apparently she jumped over the security fence to pick up a wallet for one of the passengers. Than the rollercoaster car came and the accident happened. Legoland manager Henrik Hoehrman, was shocked by this accident and said that nothing like this has ever happened before. The accident took place at the Legoland amusement park 240 kilometers west of Copenhagen. The Danish Legoland opened in 1968.

This is extremely shocking because the employee was just trying to help the passenger find the wallet. And it’s unfair for the employee, because she was only trying to help and unluckily a roller coaster came and hit her.

I agree with you. She was trying to do a good deed with no harm to anyone intended. But as an employee she should know the rules and where to go and not to go. She should at least the common sence to make a desicion whether or not to go in or not and to watch for the roller coaster.
