Two people were injured Tuesday evening after falling from the platform decking of the Sky Ride along the Seaside Heights Boardwalk.
As reported last night on TLS Communities, the incident occurred at approximately 8:00 p.m. on Sampson Avenue, where the Seaside Heights Fire Department responded for a reported fall victim.
According to the Seaside Heights Fire Department, responding personnel arrived to find two patients who had fallen from the Sky Ride platform, along with a juvenile who remained on the ride.
Firefighters immediately established a safe means of access and placed a ladder to assist in removing the juvenile from the ride. The juvenile was safely removed and reported to be uninjured.
The two individuals who had fallen were subsequently removed from the area and turned over to EMS personnel. Both were transported to Community Medical Center for further evaluation and treatment.
The Seaside Heights Fire Department thanked the Seaside Heights Police Department, Tri-Boro First Aid, Ocean County Communications and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department for their assistance.

Huh?
but it’s only Tuesday morning!!??
The sky ride platform is the boring ride that goes across the entire boardwalk, not the pictured Ferris wheel or other things. I think that should be made clear so as not to overhype. It was a mother who fell after her child fell and left her other remaining child on the platform.
Was he the right height for the ride?
