Karin and Mikael Elmegard were thrown from the Jetline roller coaster when it derailed at Gröna Lund. For the couple, the verdict against the amusement park is a kind of closure - but they had hoped for higher damages. It's distressing, Karin Elmegard says.
SwedenKarin Elmegard fell from the Jetline and suffered life-threatening injuries when she hit the ground seven meters down. In the trial about the accident at Gröna Lund, she testifies about the fear of death. I think it might be the last thing I do.
SwedenAccording to Gröna Lund CEO Jan Eriksson, the park feels a great responsibility for the fatal accident on Jetline – but despite that, the company denies any wrongdoing and does not want to pay damages to the victims. The statement is questioned by the affected couple, Mikael and Karin Elmegard. I understand that people are reacting to it, says Jan Eriksson.
SwedenThe trial of the Jetline accident at Gröna Lund in the summer of 2023 has begun. We of course hope for a guilty verdict, says Mikael Elmegard, who was on board the roller coaster that derailed. The prosecutor began by showing a film in court where two women are seen falling from the train.
SwedenThe couple was involved in the tragic accident at Gröna Lund a year ago. Karin Elmegard fell seven meters and got fractures on both arms and legs. Husband Mikael managed to cling to a steel beam hanging high above the ground. Now they have ridden the rollercoaster again – at Liseberg.
