Overview
- Family members and witnesses say the accident occurred on the night of Friday, July 17, when the girl was thrown roughly three to four meters from an inflatable and fell onto the pavement.
- The child is hospitalized at the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño after two high-risk operations, including an about six-hour neurosurgery to drain an intracranial clot and skull reconstruction with mesh, and remains in critical trauma care.
- The family alleges the inflatable lacked perimeter protection, that no trained first-aid staff were on site, that an ambulance response was delayed five to ten minutes, and that the operator later sent an unsolicited bank transfer to the mother.
- Serpar says it activated emergency protocols, provided first aid, coordinated transfer with the fire department, suspended and removed the inflatables involved and will cooperate with investigations while reports disagree on whether the operator is JOY ZONE or Cachuelos Express.
- The parents have asked prosecutors and municipal authorities to investigate and plan civil and criminal action, and officials will review permits, civil-defense certification and whether liability insurance or other concession controls were properly in place which could prompt tighter oversight of park concessions.
