Teen girl falls 25 feet from amusement park ride in upstate N.Y.

June 25 (UPI) -- A 14-year-old girl fell 25 feet from the Sky Ride at Six Flags Great Escape in upstate New York, but she wasn't seriously injured, authorities said.

On Saturday, the unidentified teen from Greenwood, Del., was riding with a younger brother in a two-person gondola at the Queensbury park, about 55 miles north of Albany. Around 8 p.m., she fell out of the ride and was hanging onto the edge. She then let go, struck a tree, then fell into the arms of workers and guests.

Amateur video was caught by Loren Lent, who told WRGB-TV people gathered beneath the young woman in an effort to help.

Her condition was stabilized Sunday at Albany Medical Center with no serious injuries

A 47-year-old guest from Schenectady, N.Y., sustained a back injury attempting to catch the falling victim but he was treated and released from Glens Falls Hospital

Six Flags officials said in a statement, "There does not appear to be any malfunction of the ride, but we have closed the attraction until a thorough review of the ride can be completed."

According to the park website, the ride has no height requirement.

"Let your legs dangle in the air as you board your open, two-person cable car in Fest Area," the website said. "You'll travel in a round-trip circuit high over the boulevard, as you coast more than 20 feet in the air with a VIP view of Storytown on one side and International Village on the other."

The gondola was added to the park in 1994.

More than 135 rides and attractions are at Great Escape and its adjacent Splashwater Kingdom.

The park opened in 1954 as Storytown USA and was acquired in 1996 by Premier Parks, which later bought and changed its name to Six Flags.
