A couple at a theme park in Kansas City became heroes when they intervened to save a young girl whose seatbelt had come undone on a roller coaster. Chris and Cassie Evins, parents of four, were on the Mamba ride at Worlds of Fun when they heard the distressed screams. Quickly realizing the danger, they took action to secure the girl until the ride ended. The park confirmed that safety measures were in place, with additional inspections conducted to ensure all standards were met. Following the incident, modifications were made to enhance safety before the ride reopened to the public.
