*On 31 May 2005, shortly before 12:30 p.m., the victim and a friend climbed into the back seat of an eight-seater boat on the Poseidon. The retaining brackets closed properly, as shown in the pictures. After the start, the boats of the "Poseidon" water coaster are pulled diagonally upwards to a height of about 20 metres. According to witnesses, the heavy man suddenly panicked, pushed out with all his might against the retaining bracket and squeezed himself under it. Even his companion sitting next to him and the other passengers in the boat could no longer prevent him from climbing out of the slow-moving train. The 44-year-old fell into a pond overgrown with school, which is outside the generally accessible visitor area. An emergency doctor could only determine the death of the man. The passengers who were still in the boat and those accompanying the dead man received psychological care as a precaution. The accident went largely unnoticed by the other guests of the park.Arthur

She was ejected from the boat into the water and slid down the slope, where she was hit in the head by at least one of the two following log boats. Since she had managed to temporarily keep the log boat from dropping down the slope, the following two log boats passed the last safety gate, and couldn't be stopped from falling down the last slope where the woman was located. The event was witnessed by the staff who stopped the ride, but were unable to prevent two of the log boats from continuing. The woman, who was travelling together with her 11-year-old daughter and another woman, was taken toRainbow

Gebirgsbahn & Grand Canyon Achterbahn
*On 1 May 2001, a fire broke out at the park. 54 people were injured during the fire, however no one was seriously hurt. The fire broke out on the powered roller coaster Grand Canyon Achterbahn, located inside the structure of the bigger roller coaster Gebirgsbahn, on a day when the park was filled with 20,000 visitors. The park's founder said a cable fire was most likely the cause of the blaze. There were 150 passengers on the two rides when the fire broke out. Some passengers of the Gebirgsbahn were only able to exit the cars using a ladder. The mostly polystyrene facade was coated with a fire-resistant film; however, it had lost its effect after years of operation and caught fire. The two roller coasters and the nearby Tanagra Theater were completely destroyed and demolished shortly after. Following this accident, the park improved the safety standards on many of its attractions. This resulted in some compromises. Some of the effects on the park's rides had to be removed, the upper floor of the IMAX simulator Galaxy (later: Race for Atlantis) was permanently closed and the track of the Gondelbahn 1001-Nacht dark ride was shortened to make room for a rescue passage for firetrucks. The park also installed new sprinkler systems in some of the rides like the Silbermine dark ride. Today the rapid river River Quest is located on the site of the two roller coasters. The Tanagra Theater was replaced with the Vekoma Mad House Feng Ju Palace.Black Mamba

*On 5 May 2018, a 13-year-old girl was severely injured in a karting incident. A part of the skin on her head was torn off after her hair was caught in the engine of the kart through an opening behind the seat. Walibi Holland was prosecuted for a possible negligence on two points: the kart was missing a part guarding the drive belt, and the ride operators might have ignored safety instructions. The park was found not guilty because there was not enough evidence that the missing guard contributed to the accident, nor that there had been too few instructions on the part of the operators. Eyewitnesses also confirmed the hair had been tied in a knot when the girl left the station. The manufacturer of the karts criticized the absence of a helmet requirement which is in place for karting tracks but not for amusement parks. As of February 2021, she still had physical and psychological problems from the accident.Wheelgate Park, Nottinghamshire, England
