Overview
- The incident occurred on Saturday, August 29, when a 49-year-old guest was seriously injured on the Batman Gotham City Escape coaster and flown to 12 de Octubre University Hospital.
- Emergency services reported an open fracture to the left leg and a closed fracture to the right leg and said the rider received on‑scene treatment before the airlift.
- Parque Warner Madrid said staff stopped the ride immediately, activated emergency protocols and will keep the coaster closed while authorities review the circumstances.
- Witnesses told reporters the rider may have slipped from his seat and become partially trapped but investigators and the park have not confirmed that account or identified a cause.
- Batman Gotham City Escape opened in 2023 and is one of the park’s flagship coasters at about 45 meters tall with speeds near 65 mph, and the closure removes a major attraction for visitors until the review is completed.
