Girl, 8, slipped from fairground ride and fell to death after height restriction ignored

An eight-year-old girl fell to her death at the Royal Adelaide Show after ride operators ignored safety instructions, a coroner has found.

Malaysian Adelene Leong had been visiting the show in Australia with her Mum while on holiday in 2014.

While on the Airmaxx 360 ride, she slipped out of restraints and was flung into the air before landing on the ground headfirst in front of her mother and multiple witnesses. She then died from the multiple injuries sustained during the fall.
