Two people reportedly fell off the Ice Skater ride

Seren McCallum-Weller was at Winter Wonderland celebrating her birthday along with her family. The 13-year-old said she saw a number of people on the floor and that the experience left her panicked.

She said: "I was on the Ice Skater ride with my cousin. We were just having a fun time then we suddenly heard a massive bang. I didn't know what it was.

"We looked behind us and the ride was still going and then we saw a lady on the floor. We then saw a second lady who was pushed into the railings and the railings had moved.

"She was lodged in between the ride and the railings. I think a third lady was also thrown into the railings. There were a few children on the ride who were no older than 11 or 12."

Seren said the ride involves several clusters of around four seats which spin and move diagonally "very fast". She said staff tried to stop the ride as soon as they could but it took a few minutes to slow down.

The ride is reportedly not currently running following the incident

She said: "The ride was slowing down and it came to a stop about one or two minutes after it happened. The attendants were trying to stop it straightaway.

"One of the ladies had damaged her head and there was blood. I think she possibly broke her ankle as well. I think [one of them] was unconscious. I was panicking. I saw one woman get up and as I was leaving I heard one of them crying. I hope the ladies are okay.

"You see things like this happen on YouTube and hear them happening to other people but it's scary when it happens to you. It has scared me and I'm giving theme parks and rides a miss in the future.”

A spokesman for the Welsh Ambulance Service said: "We had a call at 5.15pm that two patients had reportedly come off a ride at Winter Wonderland. We deployed our cycle response team who were in the city centre for the rugby match. A conveying ambulance was requested to take two patients to hospital."

It is understood that Winter Wonderland opened as expected on Sunday, November 27, but the Ice Skater ride is not running.

Winter Wonderland, Cardiff Council, and the Health and Safety Executive have been contacted for comment.
