Six Flags Closes Ride After 7 Hurt

The Texas Tornado ride at Six Flags Over Texas will remain closed for several weeks after seven people were injured on the ride during the weekend, a park official said Tuesday.

The incident happened Sunday evening after a mechanical failure triggered a safety device that stopped the circular swing and quickly lowered riders to the ground quickly.

During that time, some of the swings bumped together.

One woman complained of back pain and was treated and released from a hospital Sunday evening, a park official said.

Engineers are examining the ride and talking with its manufacturer.
