"The parents of a 13-year-old Louisville girl, whose feet were severed on an amusement park ride, say her recovery remains slow.
Three months ago, WBKO told you about Kaitlyn Lasitter who lost both feet when a cable snapped on a ride at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom.
In an e-mail, her mother Monique Lassiter, said Kaitlyn will suffer through a hard recovery for a long time.
She says her daughter is sick from the medications and her weight has dropped to under 100 pounds.
After the accident, doctors were able to reattach her right foot, but her left leg had to be amputated just below her knee.
The family sued Kentucky Kingdom in July, claiming the park failed to maintain the Superman Tower of Power and ensure riders' safety."
Truly a sad situation. Would any of you continue to ride a ride of this nature? Have you been scared off? What do you think about park safety requirements? Do you feel they are being met?
