Shylah Rodden Rollercoster Accident: Who is Shylah Rodden?

The family of a woman who was struck by a rollercoaster at the Melbourne Royal Show say they are “appalled” that the ride has been deemed safe and reopened to the public.

Shylah Rodden is believed to have walked onto the track of the Rebel Coaster ride to retrieve her phone when she was struck by a moving carriage on Sunday.

The 26-year-old, who was working at the show, is believed to have been thrown into the air on impact and fallen 9m to the ground.

On Tuesday, the show organisers issued a statement saying WorkSafe had finalised its inspection report on the Rebel Coaster.
