12-year old Teagan Marti of Parkland, Florida was injured after falling 100 feet from a ride at a Wisconsin Dells amusement park.  An employee at Extreme World released Marti from a 100-foot tall platform from the ride before the safety net was secured.  Marti fell to the ground instead of onto the net.

Marti was flown to Madison Hospital in Florida to be treated for serious injuries.  She was later transferred to a hospital in Miami.  Doctors fear that she may be paralyzed from the accident.

The ride’s operator has been charged with first-degree reckless injury and will go to court at a later date.  First-degree reckless injury is a felony charge and is punishable by up to 25 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Teagan and her family during her recovery.
