“Upon arrival, they found a 6-year-old boy with traumatic injuries under the roller coaster track that was approximately 20 feet high,” local police told Telemundo, adding that since then the park has remained closed, although they have indicated that it is temporary.
The closure of the park was carried out for the police investigation, since the park management indicates that the attraction has not had technical problems, so it is unknown what led to the fall of the minor.
“All our guests can rest easy knowing that Fun Spot America will not reopen the attraction until we are 100% sure this will not happen once more (…) Our thoughts and prayers are with the boy and his family and we pray for a speedy recovery ”, the amusement park said in a statement, collected by the local media Univisión.

The boy was camping in the Heart O’ the Hills area south of Port Angeles. According to a statement issued by the US National Parks website, “the cougar casually gave up its attack following the child’s mother yelled and yelled at it. Park staff responded quickly and once the boy’s medical condition was evaluated and stabilized.”
The minor suffered some minor injuries, and fortunately, he did not lose his life in the middle of the attack, but rather had to be transferred to the nearest health center to receive primary care. In turn, the campers who were in the area were evacuated, therefore, Heather Park will remain closed until further notice.
The Park indicated in the statement that “if the puma is found, it will be euthanized and removed from the park for a necropsy. This may provide clues as to why the animal attacked”, this, because seeing pumas is too rare, added to the attacks of these cats on humans that are even stranger.

However, the Olympic National Park states that its entire territory is the land of pumas, so visitors should be aware that they can run into the animal at any time; For this reason, they recommend that visitors “do not walk or jog alone and that they keep children in sight and close to adults. Leave pets at home and be aware of your surroundings when you go hiking.”
