Английская Википедия:Death of Gabriela Yukari Nichimura
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates
On 24 February 2012, 14-year-old Gabriela Yukari Nichimura died after falling from the La Tour Eiffel drop tower at the Hopi Hari amusement park in Vinhedo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Incident
Nichimura's chair lock opened[1][2][3] at about Шаблон:Convert in the air.[4] The chair had been unused for 10 years, due to the seat's location where a person could bump into the metal frame of the drop tower, and the absence of a seat belt.[5]
La Tour Eiffel
The drop tower initially opened, along with the park itself, on 30 November 1999.[6] The tower allows participants enter into free fall from a height of 69.5 meters, or 228 feet (the equivalent of a 23-story building) at a speed of approximately Шаблон:Convert.[1][2]
Aftermath and investigation
The park closed hours after the accident. A full review of all rides began on 2 March of that year.[5] Upon completion of the review and the signing of a Conduct Adjustment Term (CAT), the park was reopened on 25 March 2012, but the tower remained closed.[7]
At the time, Nichimura's family planned to sue the park for material and emotional damage,[8] and asked for R$ 4 million in compensation from Hopi Hari and R$ 1 million from Vinhedo City Hall.[9]
On 9 May 2012, the Public Prosecution Service indicted 12 people for the accident, including then-president of the park Armando Pereira Filho.[10] The park attempted to reach a deal with the family.[11]
In 2017, three employees were convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to two years and eight months of community service and the payment of a minimum wage for a social entity. Another five employees were acquitted. The family and the park came to an undisclosed agreement.[12][4][13]
On 18 May 2017, the Supreme Federal Court discontinued a lawsuit against former park President Armando Pereira Filho. The family received therapy in the aftermath of the incident.[13]
Reopening
After changes in the drop tower,[14] it was estimated to be back in August 2019,[15][16] but in June 2019 the management decided against its reopening, due to the need for US$Шаблон:To USD round to recover the equipment and the realization of marketing.[17]
