A roller-coaster contractor has been jailed for three months for an accident that killed a student in east China last June, a local court ruled on Monday.
He Ping, contractor of amusement facilities at the Xiaoyaojin Amusement Park, was found guilty at the Luyang district court in Hefei, capital of Anhui province, of dereliction of her safety duties.
Her sentence was suspended for six months.
On June 30 last year, a middle school student was crushed to death when the carriage she was riding in suddenly reversed, derailed and fell more than 10 meters to the ground.
Another student in the same carriage suffered slight injuries.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine found after an investigation that the machinery was poorly maintained and the operators were not licensed to run the facility.
