Saturday, May 5, 2007 – At Expoland theme park in Osaka, Japan, a 19-year-old woman was killed instantly when a roller coaster car derailed and crashed into a guardrail. Another rider suffered a serious head injury; 18 others suffered minor injuries.

The accident happened on the “Fujin Raijin II,” a stand-up steel roller coaster. Its trains consist of six cars, each of which can hold four passengers who ride while in a standing position. Investigators say that an axle on one of the cars broke, causing it to derail. Parts of the wheel assembly were found underneath the ride.

The park reported that the train axles had not been inspected regularly, and had not been serviced since February 2006.

Officials are investigating the accident. The park has been shut down.
