Teenager killed after being thrown from roller-coaster called Hell at Benidorm

A teenager has died after being thrown from a roller-coaster called Hell at a theme park in Benidorm.

The 18-year-old is thought to have been flung from the ride at the Terra Mitica theme park after his harness failed yesterday afternoon.

The teen – who was on holiday with his parents and a friend – suffered horrific injuries including multiple fractures and head wounds.

National newspaper El Mundo last night quoted local councillor Jose Marcet saying the dead man was British.

However, this morning a police spokesman said: “He is from Iceland and not Britain as some reports have said.”

A local judge has launched an investigation into the accident which happened on a ride called ‘Inferno’ – Catalan for ‘Hell.’

A shocked British witness to the horror told the Mirror how her teenage daughter had been on the ride, which only has eight seats, just 5 minutes before.
