Man seen 'dangling' from fence at Alton Towers after trying to leave queue

A visitor at Alton Towers was left "dangling" from a fence after trying to climb out of the queue.

The guest, who was said to be in his late teens, had been queuing for the Rita rollercoaster, and was attempting to scale the fence when the incident happened.

It is understood the guest got his foot stuck on the top of the fence as he was coming down the other side, and ended up suspended by his leg in view of dozens of onlookers. Because the park is in a rural area, an air ambulance ended up having to be dispatched to the scene, followed by a land ambulance which eventually took the visitor away, StokeSentinel reports.
