Gold Coast theme park Dreamworld has to pay $2.15 million to the husband and two children of a woman who died when a ride malfunctioned in 2016.
Sydney woman Cindy Low, 42, died on the Thunder River Rapids ride along with Kate Goodchild, Luke Dorsett and Roozi Araghi when a water pump failed and caused the raft they were in to overturn.
Low sued Ardent and filed a claim for dependency costs and economic loss in June 2019 on behalf of the couple’s two children, Kieran and Isla, aged 10 and six respectively at the time of Cindy’s death.The terms of the settlement were not revealed in court, but public documents now show that Ardent Leisure agreed in September to pay $2.15 million plus $280,000 in costs and outlays to the Low family.Low’s legal representatives, the Clayton Utz firm, originally filed a claim for more than $2.
“Kieran said to me words to the effect that another empty boat on the ride hit them a few times and the boat that he and Cindy were on flipped over. He was very sure Cindy was badly hurt and he was upset he could not save her.”
