Aigio: Child injured after electronic ride overturns
A 5-year-old child was injured in Aigio, Greece, after an electronic amusement ride overturned and fell on them. The incident occurred on the evening of Thursday, August 20, in the Psila Alonia area.
The child was transported to the Karamanidaios Children's Hospital in Patras for medical evaluation. While the child remains under observation, recent updates suggest their health condition is reassuring, and they may return home soon if test results remain positive.
The child's father has raised serious allegations regarding safety standards at the site, claiming that machines on wheels lack brakes and that exposed cables are accessible to both children and adults. Local police are investigating the circumstances of the accident, and a formal forensic report is expected to determine liability.
