Karine Brock, a psychologist who was seriously injured after being thrown from a children’s roller coaster in Além Paraíba, in the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais, says that doctors consider it a miracle She survived the accident, which happened on August 11.
“When the doctor came to see me, the first question was if I believed in God, because, because of the fractures, injuries and the result of the MRI in my head, me being alive was a real miracle,” the woman said on social networks.
She does not remember the accident and knows details of what happened to other people, but said that reports “had not given me the real dimension of what I had been through, until a doctor said that I was not supposed to be alive due to the circumstances”.
Roller coaster fall or accident?
The psychologist was riding a children’s roller coaster known as a “worm”, sitting in one of the first rows, when she was “thrown and thrown out because the safety lock did not work as it should and, as videos show, it was open even though I had lowered it”.
Karine’s injuries were serious, but she remembers little of the accident:
“I know what they tell me, that I was thrown and hit my head on the iron and fell convulsing on top of the toy’s hardware, which justifies me having so many purples on my body. The blows to the head were very strong, but I only [remember] when I was already in the hospital.”
Karine has been hospitalized since the 11th and there is no forecast for discharge. She was admitted to Hospital Salvador but ended up transferred to Hospital Monte Sinai, in Juiz de Fora, better structured to receive her.
Brain damage
The blows to the head generated great concern among doctors “because, from the marks I have, they were very strong, but, thank God, by a miracle, I will not need any surgery for now”.
However, the psychologist will need brain scans every 15 days to monitor activities.
