a piece of metal struck her head

Earlier this year, a woman suffered serious injuries after a piece of metal struck her head while she was waiting in line for the Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster at Cedar Point Park in Sandusky, Ohio. The woman was identified as Rachel Hawes, a Michigan native. The state of Ohio’s department of agriculture reported that the piece of metal was approximately the size of an adult male’s hand.

Rachel Hawes suffered from head trauma and brain injuries after the metal bracket hit her while she was waiting in line for the roller coaster. She was transported to Firelands Medical Center in Toledo, where she was then transferred to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Toledo for further treatment.

After the accident, the Ohio Department of Agriculture conducted an inspection of the Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster. A report was issued, concluding that Cedar Point did not break any laws in the incident. It also stated that the piece of metal that hit Hawes was part of a sensor system that was attached to the back of the train. The bracket was attached to the back of the train, so it was hovering over the track.

After the investigation was done, the Ohio Department of Agriculture issued a 620-page report. The report stated that the metal piece that hit Rachel Hawes was part of a sensor mechanism that was attached to the back of the train.

Apparently, last week’s Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster incident in Sandusky, Ohio was no ordinary accident. Guests and workers were tasked with keeping everyone safe in the wake of a piece of metal flying off the train.

A fist-sized piece of metal broke off the rear train of the ride, and flew off at an impressive rate of speed. It hit Rachel Hawes in the head. Hawes, a 44-year-old from Swartz Creek, Michigan, is currently in the hospital with a brain injury. The incident happened while she was waiting in line to ride the 420-foot roller coaster.

Hawes’ family said she is still in the hospital’s intensive care unit on Monday. Cedar Point officials have not confirmed the woman’s condition or provided any updates.

An Ohio Department of Agriculture official announced Monday that an “L-shaped bracket” attached to the back of the train car dislodged from the track. The “flag plate” atop the bracket, which measures roughly the size of a human hand, acts as a “sensor” to keep track of vehicles on the track. It is not clear why the bracket came off or what exactly went wrong. The Ohio Department of Agriculture’s chief of amusement rides said a few other things, like half of the bracket’s bolts were dislodged as well.

The 620-page report was released by the department, which concluded that Cedar Point did not break any laws in the event of the incident.

During a visit to Cedar Point in August of 2021, Rachel Hawes was waiting in line for the Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster. At that time, she was struck in the head by a piece of metal. She suffered severe brain injuries and was rushed to the hospital in Toledo for treatment. Several people assumed that she had died in the incident. However, rumors suggest that Rachel was alive. The woman, who is 45 years old, is from the Great Lakes region of Michigan. She hasn’t offered any updates on her recovery process.

The state of Michigan has released a 620 page report on the incident. The report found no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Cedar Point. The report also concluded that the roller coaster was safe.

A piece of metal about the size of a man’s hand was the cause of the accident. The “L-shaped” bracket was supposed to hover above the roller coaster’s track, but it came loose. The bracket struck Hawes in the head, causing serious injuries. The bracket was attached to the back of the train with bolts. Half of the bolts were dislodged, causing the bracket to come in contact with the track.

The top-rated roller coaster in the United States, Top Thrill Dragster was in operation for 19 seasons. It towers 420 feet, with a top speed of 120 miles per hour. It is also the second-tallest roller coaster in the world.
