MONTICELLO, Ind. – Two days after a 12-year-old Lafayette boy died while riding the Hoosier Hurricane at Indiana Beach, a second passenger – this time a 12-year-old girl from the Lafayette area – reported being shocked as she got off the roller coaster, two of the girl’s relatives and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security confirmed Wednesday.

The state agency, which regulates and inspects rides, reported that the girl saw a physician on June 29, the day she said she’d been shocked exiting the Hoosier Hurricane at Monticello resort and amusement park.

The incident came after Brayden Cooper-Douglas, 12, of Lafayette, had to be attended to by medical personnel on the ride and died the afternoon of June 27. White County Sheriff Bill Brooks and White County Coroner Anthony Deibel told the J&C on June 28 that Brayden had a medical emergency that was not caused by Indiana Beach or the ride. The coroner was not immediately available Wednesday afternoon to offer results of the autopsy.

Indiana Beach officials did not immediately return calls or emails seeking more information Wednesday afternoon. It was not immediately clear whether the Hoosier Hurricane was in use Wednesday, heading into the busy Fourth of July holiday.

Kris Bowers and Jessica Harris, two of the girl’s aunts, said their 12-year-old niece – who they declined to name beyond her first name, Sage – went on the Hoosier Hurricane with another family member. Harris said the family knew about what had happened on the roller coaster two days earlier, but they did not believe the ride posed any problems given reports that Brayden hadn’t died due to anything related to the Hoosier Hurricane. Bowers said the family has a lake home near the Monticello resort and had been going to Indiana Beach for generations.

“My niece’s ride was fine until the very end,” Harris said. “When she went to lift the safety restraint, she says she felt a strong shock from her hand all the way to her feet. It was so strong, she said she felt pinned and couldn’t move her arm. Once the shock ended, she ran to her dad and was hysterical.”

Harris said her niece’s father took her to a park first aid station before taking her home. Harris said her niece was in pain and had breathing trouble, so the family took her to the emergency room. There, Harris said, doctors ran a blood test and an EKG and determined her niece had suffered an electric shock.

Bowers said her niece had a severe headache, blurred vision and muscle cramps down her right side for a couple of days, but was doing better as of Wednesday.

According to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Indiana Beach owners requested an inspection of the Hoosier Hurricane on June 27, after discontinuing the ride after the first incident. The state agency reported that the Hoosier Hurricane – which opened in 1994 as Indiana’s first wooden roller coaster built in 50 years and can reach speeds of 51 mph, according to past media reports – was cleared for use after that inspection.

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security reported in a statement that it had been contacted June 30 about the rider who said she’d been shocked. The state agency inspected the ride that same day. According to the statement, “six test rides failed to reproduce any electrical effect or hazard.”

“This situation will be closely monitored for any future concerns,” the Indiana Department of Homeland Security statement said.

Bowers said the family has reached to Brayden’s family to share their story. She said her family had not heard from Indiana Beach officials. She said the family is keeping their children from Indiana Beach rides for now until they get better answers about what might have happened.

“Our only agenda is to make people aware and try to get this problem fixed,” Bowers said.

Harris added: “We couldn’t stand thinking that if another child was hurt and we hadn’t spoken up, we couldn’t live with ourselves.”
