Last night, a seemingly routine ride on Kennywood's Phantom's Revenge roller coaster turned concerning when a guest was hit by a flying cellphone. As reported by WTAE, the incident occurred close to 8:45 p.m., prompting an immediate response from the park's first aid team.
The affected guest, while enjoying the highs and lows of the coaster ride, was not expecting a mobile device to intervene in their experience. Following the incident, they were transported to a hospital for further evaluation, with the details of their condition not disclosed. A statement from Kennywood reiterated their policy on loose articles: "Safety is our top priority. Loose articles, including cell phones, are strictly prohibited on all attractions," as noted in the WPXI report.
Despite the lack of specifics on how the cellphone incident took place, the park extended its wishes for a "full and speedy recovery" to the guest. This sentiment was echoed in a less detailed report by WPXI, which confirmed the event without additional context.
