After a recent accident on a carousel at the Leon Fair that caused nervous crises and injuries to two people, additional security measures have been taken. The mechanical attraction 'Himalaya,' where the incident occurred, has been immediately suspended and will not operate again until the required mechanical tests are conducted.
The competent authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the causes of the accident, while Civil Protection and specialists from the operator Grupo García are carrying out additional technical inspections on mechanical attractions to ensure their proper functioning.
Despite the measures announced by the organizers of the Leon Fair to ensure the safety of visitors, the reputation of the mechanical attractions at the event has been questioned again. The Fair Board has assured that they will maintain continuous surveillance and safety protocols to protect the integrity of visitors.
In the specific case of the accident on the 'Himalaya,' two people were injured, a man and a woman. The woman was treated at the scene and did not require hospitalization, while the man remains hospitalized for additional observation, although his condition is stable.
The mechanical ride 'Himalaya' will remain closed preventively until it is precisely determined what caused the accident. This incident has once again put the spotlight on the safety of mechanical rides at the Leon Fair, despite the efforts made by Civil Protection to monitor the facilities daily since the start of the 2025 edition.
