Addendum

In Kyiv, a 20-year-old man fell into the Dnipro River from an amusement ride due to a broken cable. His body was searched for about seven hours and found during a survey of the river bottom.

Police have opened proceedings under two articles after a cable broke on a rappelling attraction across the Dnipro River, causing a 20-year-old man to fall into the river. 

Back in 2021 , the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office tried to stop the operation of the Dnipro River descent attraction in Kyiv, where the rope broke, but the courts and the defendants, represented by the capital's officials, disagreed with the prosecutor's position that the cable car was a high-risk attraction.
