A day after the girl rode the ride, park officials shut it down and notified Cal-OSHA, the state agency responsible for safety in amusement parks. An investigation is underway and is currently awaiting a report from the girl's physician.

Hammerhead Shark will not reopen until Cal-OSHA gives its approval. A park spokesman said that there had been no problems with the ride before.
