The investigation regarding the incident that occurred at the Melbourne Royal show is reportedly one step closer to being resolved.
In September 2022, Shylah Rodden was severely injured after she was accidentally hit by the ride known as the Rebel Coaster.
Shylah was 26 years old at that time. According to a source, the brief of evidence related to the incident was handed over to lawyers by WorkSafe Victoria.
They will then examine it and decide if the operators and organizers of the event should be held accountable.
The two-year deadline for the investigations to be carried out has already passed.
The ride, which was known as the Rebel Coaster, was brought back to the Melbourne Royal Show that year.
In September last year, Shylah’s family criticized online trolls for their cruel and harmful treatment of her.
According to her mother, Kylie Rodden, the family’s priority was to support her and help her get back on track.
Shylah has made incredible progress since the accident, and her family is so grateful for her recovery.
According to Rodden, they’ve been reluctant to talk about the incident due to the constant criticism and abuse directed at her.
The tragic accident has affected the entire family, and they’ve had to deal through it all.
In her statement, Rodden stated that the negative comments directed at her daughter on social media and in the media have been very hurtful and have affected her recovery.
The family has tried to shield her from these types of comments, as most of them were cruel and misguided.
Shylah has reportedly viewed the negative comments, and her mother stated that they have affected her.
The family hopes that the statement will help others understand that such remarks are not helpful.
The family also wants to continue supporting Shylah and allow her to focus on her recovery.
