A 13-year-old girl visiting Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom lost both of her feet when a ride malfunctioned Thursday afternoon. It happened about 4:45 p.m. on the Superman Tower of Power, formerly known as the Hell-a-Vator. According to Six Flags officials no one else was hurt.

Here’s how the Superman Tower of Power works: riders are strapped in and slowly taken up to 177 feet before a free-fall of 154 feet, reaching a speed of 54 miles-per-hour before easing to a stop about 20 feet above the ground.

That’s what happened Thursday at Kentucky Kingdom except for one major mishap.

“It went up and then the cable snapped,” a witness told the media. “It was all the same. It went up, the cable snapped and it fell down and cable hit ’em. It was the same thing, just the cable broke.”
