Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Bridlington, Log Flume Accident, Saturday 27th August 2011

The heroes of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance flying an injured grandmother and her young relative to hospital, after a horrific log flume accident when the ride suddenly stopped and the car they were in flipped over, leaving the woman with a leg injury that was bleeding heavily. Much respect to the highly skilled pilot for landing the helicopter in such a small area above the funfair rides, while hundreds of people stood watching. Well done to you!

@xspringdaysx It was an accident involving a grandmother & her young relative. Basically the ride just stopped working, cars froze, & the one they were in flipped over & hurled 'em out. The woman suffered a bad leg injury which was bleeding heavily, & the child was ok as far as I know. The accident featured on the BBC's 'Helicopter Heroes' which aired on the morning of Monday 3rd October (find it on the IPlayer, where I watched it) A grim accident, very horrific, puts you off rides for life :/

According to BBC News that did the article said that none of the holidaymakers and tourist would move to make space for the helicopter to land closer to the incident
