WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. (AP) – Police say a 12-year-old girl was seriously injured on a “free fall” amusement ride when a net that was supposed to catch her failed.
     Lake Delton Police Chief Thomas Dorner says the girl was participating in the “terminal velocity” ride at Extreme World in the Wisconsin Dells.
     Dorner says a net that was supposed to catch her and break her fall was not high enough above ground and she hit the ground. In all, she fell at least 40 feet.
     The ride is described as an “unattached, controlled free fall.” Extreme World Owner Bill Anderson says it is the first accident in the ride’s eight-year history.
