Mexican teenager died after falling from a carnival ride
In the clip that has been circulating, Gabriela Rodriguez Tezoco is shown falling out of her seat on a ride called The Pendulum, a spinning ride at the Cabo San Lucas Traditional Festivals. According to reports, Gabriela came free of her security belt attached to the seat of the ride, which was spinning at full speed shortly after 8 p.m.
Gabriela was given immediate treatment before she was rushed to a nearby hospital. She died in the early hours of the next day after she suffered catastrophic injuries from the fall. After the incident, municipal authorities shut down the ride and sealed the area for security and safety checks of every ride in the carnival.
It is worth adding that these rides are operated by private contractors. A formal investigation in the matter has been ongoing to determine how the teenager came free from her restraints and who was to be blamed for the incident. They are also investigating if the ride met operating standards. Los Cabos mayor Christian Agundez Gomez talked about the carnival. He said:
“These festivals remind us who we are, where we come from, and what we are capable of when we are united. Today, with the same spirit with which we come together to celebrate, we must come together to accompany Gabriela’s family. It could have been any of us. You are not alone.”
The town hall also confirmed it will cooperate with investigators and support the victim’s relatives. Talking about Gabriela, she recently completed high school in Cabo San Lucas, where she was crowned as Princess of Cobach. The school also penned a tribute and prayed that her smile remain alive in their memory, “May your smile remain alive in our memory and your memory always be a light that accompanies us.” The Council wrote:
“It is with deep sorrow that we report that the young woman who was injured in the incident that occurred in the amusement park area of the Cabo San Lucas Traditional Festivals was immediately transferred to receive medical attention and lost her life despite the efforts of the health personnel.”
Netizens took to X and shared the horrific video footage of the incident, which was recorded from a phone camera. In the clip, Gabriela came loose in her chair, which sent her legs flying above her head before she dropped to the forecourt. One user wrote:
“On October 20th past, during the Traditional Festivals of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur (Mexico), Gabriela Rodríguez Tezoco, 18 years old and former princess of the College of High School Students of Baja California Sur, died after falling from the mechanical ride ‘El Péndulo’ when she was ejected from her seat while it was in full operation (at the 30th second of the clip). She was attended to by Civil Protection and the Mexican Red Cross and transferred by ambulance to a hospital, where she passed away due to the severity of her injuries.”
We pray for Gabriela’s family in these testing times.
