Swedish amusement park fined over 2023 roller coaster derailment that killed 1

A Swedish amusement park has been fined nearly $588,000 in connection with a fatal 2023 roller coaster derailment. The tragedy occurred June 25, 2023, on the Jetliner roller coaster at the Gröna Lund park and left one passenger dead and nine others, including several children, injured. The Stockholm District Court on Wednesday ruled that the Jetliner’s support arm, an important safety component, broke in the first car. Located on an island near Stockholm’s city center, Gröna Lund opened in 1883 and is one of Sweden’s most popular amusement parks. Gröna Lund and a manufacturing company were fined. Neither responded to requests for comment.
