“Woman Killed on Bungee Jump Accident”
|
|
A St. Louis woman was killed on July 9, 2002
while riding on a Bungee Jump Ride at Fanny Fae’s Funhouse.
Authorities say the woman jumped off the bungee platform only to
bounce back up and hit her head on the same platform from which
she jumped. The woman’s fatal head injury caused Fanny Fae’s
Funhouse to temporarily close the ride until a full
investigation can be completed on the accident. |
