World's fastest roller coaster suspended after riders report broken bones

Located at  Fuji-Q Highland amusement park in Japan's Fujiyoshida City, the Do-Dodonpa roller coaster goes from 0 to 180 kilometres per hour in 1.56 seconds, making it the fastest-accelerating roller coaster in the world. 

It's a roller coaster that has thrilled and terrified, often at the same time, riders from all over the globe. But the Do-Dodonpa roller coaster in Japan has now been temporarily suspended after multiple riders were injured - they reported broken bones. Known for its "super death” speed, the roller coaster is located at Fuji-Q Highland amusement park in Japan's Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi. Four of the riders said that they broke their neck or back, a spokesperson for the park told VICE World News. Those who were severely injured included both men and women, and are in the age group of 30-50 reportedly.   “We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the injured customers … but we will endeavor to investigate the cause under the guidance of the government,” the statement read, per a translation, News 3 Channel quoted. Investigations show no technical glitches and the ride's manufacturing company, while apologizing to injured customers, admitted that they are not sure what caused the injury.
