Overview
- Parque Warner Madrid confirmed the Batman Gotham City Escape was stopped after an incident and remains closed while the park and authorities review the event.
- Emergency services treated a 49-year-old rider on site and then airlifted him to 12 de Octubre University Hospital with an open fracture to his left leg and a closed fracture to his right leg.
- Eyewitnesses told reporters the rider may have slipped from his seat and become partially trapped, but investigators have not verified those accounts or identified an official cause.
- The incident occurred on Saturday, August 29, and the park continued to operate other attractions while local emergency crews and police responded to the scene.
- Batman Gotham City Escape is a high‑intensity, multi‑launch coaster that opened in 2023 and its closure removes one of Parque Warner’s headline rides while the investigation continues.
