I read this article from a British newspaper website. The display was produced by Kimbolton Fireworks. For all those who believe that an incident can't happen at La Ronde. Does La Ronde has any emergency plan for that?

11 INJURED AS ROCKET FIRED INTO A CROWD
The boss of an amusement park where 11 people were hurt when a firework hit the crowd yesterday defended his safety measures.


One boy, aged around 10, suffered serious injuries when the organised bonfire night at Wicksteed Park went badly wrong on Saturday night.

The injured were standing behind a safety cordon when they were hit by a stray firework.

They were taken to Kettering General Hospital, Northamptonshire, for treatment, mainly for burns to the lower body.

Two children were detained at the hospital and a third child was transferred to a specialist burns unit.

His condition was described as "serious but stable".

Wicksteed Park managing director John Roberts said last night: "All available staff, including our first aid team andSt John's ambulance, immediately attended the injured and ambulances were called.

"Police, some of whom were already on site, supported our operational staff to ensure that our emergency plans were followed effectively.

"We understand three are still in hospital.

"We regularly host large events here at Wicksteed Park and this firework display is organised by one of the country's leading firework display companies, Kimbolton Fireworks."

Roberts said 100 stewards were on hand and the safety cordon far exceeded the recommended minimum distance.

He said: "Our thoughts are with the injured people and their families."

Police are still investigating the incident
