The police received information about the accident in Kyiv yesterday, around 14:00. Police opened proceedings under two articles due to a cable break on a rappelling attraction across the Dnipro River, which resulted in a 20-year-old man falling into the river.

The KCSA noted that the city will demand that law enforcement officers conduct a thorough investigation into the activities of the companythat operates the Dnipro River Ride in Kyiv, where a cable broke and a girl fell into the river.

Back in 2021, the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office tried to stop the operation of the Dnipro River Ride in Kyiv, where the rope broke today, but the courts and the defendants, represented by Kyiv officials, did not agree with the prosecutor's position that the cable car is a high-risk attraction.

Previously, there have been cases of people getting stuck in the middle of the ride.
