Girl injured at Kentucky amusement park question

Has there been an update on her yet? I know they were going to attempt to do surgery to try to reattach her feet, is that correct? I did a Google search but couldn't find anymore info on it.

Please post if anyone knows of an update. That was a very sad story.

June has been a sad month for news....

she had surgery, but no further updates.

However... Six Flags has already opened the ride back up, BEFORE they were completed with the inspection!!!

we were in Orlando at Universal last April

They had a ride similiar to the KY ride. The Universal ride was having a lot of problems. We waited in line for a few hours. Finally walked away. I am glad now.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A 13-year-old girl whose feet were severed in an accident on an amusement park ride is in stable condition in a Nashville, Tenn., hospital, her family said in a written statement Tuesday.
Kaitlyn Lasitter, whose name had not previously been released by officials, was riding the Superman Tower of Power ride Thursday at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville when a cable broke loose on the ride, cutting off the girl's feet above the ankles, authorities said.

State officials were investigating the incident.

"The parents of Kaitlyn Lasitter would like to acknowledge everyone across the country that have been supporting their daughter with many positive thoughts and prayers over the last six days," according to the statement, which was issued through Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Authorities and the hospital have declined to say whether her feet were reattached. The statement included a plea for privacy for the girl's family, and the family has instructed the hospital not to comment further.

Thank you for your post, beckyandplacido. I wish there were more information about her. I've really been thinking about her quite a bit.

A weird thing about this story is we were at the Texas Six Flags late last week. While we were at a friend's apartment, the FOP called solicitating money. They implied that the accident had happened at the Texas one.

Small update:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Doctors reattached the right foot of a 13-year-old girl involved in a gruesome amusement park accident, but her left foot was too severely damaged to repair, her family and doctor said in a statement Tuesday.

Kaitlyn Lasitter of Louisville remained in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., Dr. Douglas Weikert, a surgeon and assistant professor at Vanderbilt, said in the statement.

"Things are progressing as expected over this first 10 days," he said.

The ride was last inspected April 5 and found to be operating normally, Frye said. The ride passed inspection in each of the last four years, according to records.
