ANN/THE STRAITS TIMES – Two amusement park visitors boarded a Sabah ‘sotong’ ride seeking a quick thrill on the evening of March 6, but the experience turned tragic for the pair after they were flung from the machine, leaving them with serious injuries.
A man and a woman were injured, but no one died during the accident in Likas, said the police chief of Sabah capital city Kota Kinabalu, Assistant Commissioner (AC) Zaidi Abdullah told Malaysian news outlet Sinar Harian.
The aftermath of the incident was captured by other visitors to the fair in videos that were circulated online.
In the videos, a man and a woman with bloodied faces can be seen lying on the ground a few feet from one another next to a fence.
The woman can be seen wiping her face while the man remained motionless. In a separate video, rescue personnel can be seen attending to the pair.
