'Mad Mouse' victim still ill
( 2003-10-30 12:27) (China Daily)
Chen Yiyao, who sustained serious injuries on Sunday afternoon after being
hit by "Mad Mouse" roller coaster cars at the World Carnival in Pudong, is still
under close observation at Shanghai East Hospital, Shanghai Labour Daily
reports.
The 19-year-old freshman is studying at Shanghai Normal University.
On Monday evening, doctors detected a haematoma on one of Chen's kidneys,
which they described as "a time bomb that could explode any moment".
After a woman visitor's persistent requests to retrieve a wig that flew off
her head and fell to the ground within some of the roller coaster's rails, Chen
received approval from a carnival administrator on the spot to enter the track
area. He was hit while reaching for the wig.
The woman slipped away soon after the accident, without showing concern for
the victim.
