Shocking moment attraction collapses at Germany’s largest theme park #shorts

GUESTS and performers at Germany’s largest theme park were injured after an attraction collapsed on August 14, local news reported.

Footage recorded by Reshma Fadarkhan at Europa-Park in the town of Rust shows the structure of the Return of the Pirates attraction, which involves “high diving acrobats,” collapse and crash into the water.

According to police, a total of five performers and two guests were injured, Bild reported.

“It was probably a material defect," a spokesperson for Europa-Park said to Bild. “Thank God everything went smoothly and without major injuries.”

On Friday, local news reported that police were investigating the cause of the accident.

A large fire previously broke out at the theme park in June, which forced 25,000 visitors to evacuate.

People still filming and acting unconcerned are they really that disconnected?

Five of the 10 performers were injured, & 2 guest volunteers were hurt. 3 of the divers remained hospitalized overnight. 😕

So the men walk away instead of checking if anyone needs rescued.

Dudes like: “if I did this… no I didn’t”

3 shocking moments when emegency happens:
1) people busy taking pics and vidoes to make viral as priority rather than making emergency calls
2) people in the pool was not offered help or being helped fast
3) gentlemen walking away from the scene rather than saving people

Thats crazy. Somebody should have jumped in and looked for trapped people. Scary how people dont realize that

[Seanyboy]

[alllifematters]

That water doesn't look very deep to soften the fall. Hope everyone is ok 🙏

[David-xlcp]

[ABerCul]

They knew this pool was barely holding it together but chose to do nothing or do the cheapest repair and this is what happens.

[michaelroberts]

[jamiehamilton]

[AndToTheRepublicWhichItStands]

I thought i was watching an attraction at first

[AllanAnderson-dhxn]

We can see the rushing water causing the collapse

[jaqathome]

Not shocking, seems like that’s what they’re wanting so they got it.

[AllanAnderson-dhxn]

The retaining walls were not strong enough to hold back the water.
