Placed under seal
Placed under seal for the purposes of the investigation, the Speed Mouse must remain as is until the experts have completed their technical investigations. It is the investigating judge in charge of the case who can authorize the dismantling of the metal structure.
A 63-year-old man, the “de facto” manager of the ride, died after falling from a height of around 10 meters, struck by a basket. He was carrying out an intervention while the Speed Mouse was running.
The owner and driver of the ride were indicted for “manslaughter by breach of safety obligations”, after the police discovered that elements of the structure had been “withheld from investigation”. The two men, both aged around fifty, were left free, under judicial supervision, but the prosecution did appeal of this decision.
