Authorities are investigating the death of a 3-year-old boy who fell from a children's roller coaster at an indoor amusement park in Norridge Saturday night. The boy was riding a roller coaster at Go Bananas, where he was seated near the front of a roller coaster called Python Pit with his twin brother when he managed to get underneath the safety bar, the chief said. The boy slipped out of the ride while it was in motion, fell between two cars and suffered head injuries, then fell a few feet to the floor.
