Caution: Injury report below…
Bo Jones of the Reedy Creek Fire Department said the victim was an adult male from the United Kingdom who lost the tip of his ring and pinky finger on his right hand.
Jones said ‘When the medics got to him he was already out of the ride and on the platform.’
‘He was very calm and just said he needed band aid for his fingers. He did not want a fuss made and kept repeating he had his hand where it should not have been.’
‘The man lost the tip of his ring finger down to the bottom of the nail, while the little finger was about down to the first knuckle. From the medical reports they were sliced clean off.’
The victim was taken to a local hospital.
