A six-year-old boy has been flown to hospital after reportedly falling 10 metres from a rollercoaster in the uk.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing a six-year-old boy fall from the Twister ride at Lightwater Valley theme park, according to The Sun.
The boy’s mum was allegedly “screaming hysterically” as he was hanging backwards out of the carriage.
According to one witness, the young boy “slid out and over the top of the carriage” before falling “30ft (10 metres) to the ground”.
