A 13-year-old girl has died after being flung out of a fast-turning ride at an amusement park in southwest China. Cellphone footage carried by state media showed the girl flying out of the "Travel Through Space" ride on Friday afternoon as seats repeatedly spun round 360 degrees. The newspaper also said the ride had passed a routine quality inspection in December. " It also ordered companies operating the same "Travel Through Space" ride across the country to immediately suspend use of it and contact its Chengdu city-based manufacturer for further checks. The West China Metropolis Daily reported Sunday that the girl`s family had reached a compensation agreement with the park for their only child`s death amounting to $127,000.
