A technical malfunction in a rotating amusement ride at the “La Feria” entertainment park in the northern coastal city of Martil caused three young people to fall from a suspended swing late Saturday night, resulting in injuries of varying severity.
According to information obtained by Hespress AR, the incident occurred when a mechanical failure caused one of the ride’s gondolas to lose balance, throwing its occupants to the ground. The scene quickly turned chaotic, with witnesses reporting panic and confusion among parkgoers.
Emergency responders from civil protection units arrived promptly at the scene, and the injured individuals were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Unofficial sources indicated that at least one of the victims sustained serious injuries, although authorities have not yet released an official statement detailing the exact number of casualties or the cause of the malfunction.
Footage and images circulated widely on social media showing the aftermath of the accident, drawing shock and outrage from the public.
The incident has reignited debate about safety standards and maintenance protocols in Moroccan amusement parks, particularly during the busy summer season when such venues experience heavy foot traffic.
The park, considered one of the main recreational attractions in Martil, has been under increased scrutiny following the incident. Social media users have called on local and municipal authorities to launch a full investigation and enforce stricter safety inspections at amusement facilities.
Many are also urging park operators to implement regular maintenance checks and ensure basic protective measures are in place to safeguard visitors, especially children.
As of Sunday afternoon, there had been no official comment from park management or local officials.
