Authorities are investigating how a 12-year-old girl jumped off Australia's "tallest travelling freefall ride" after a fairground seatbelt malfunction left her thinking she was going to die if she stayed on it.
But, according to Holly and another witness, Danielle Snow, the operator slipped and fell from a height of around three metres."I'd been on this ride before so I knew what was going to happen," Holly said. Snow said Ava, who was now unbuckled and alone, travelled up the tower a little higher before the attendant hit an emergency stop button to halt the ride."Because from the height ... she just assumed that she would have died, that she wouldn't have survived that."" just went into an absolute panic and I was screaming at her trying to tell her that Holly was okay, but she couldn't hear me.
