Jan. 16th, 2007 -- A 38-year old woman died at South Korea's Everland on Sunday after she tried to leave a dark ride that started its cycle.

The ride, Gargoyle's Magic Battle, is a Haunted Swing-style ride. The woman began to feel sick and undid her safety belt and attempted to leave as the ride was starting. The woman then was lodged between the screen and seats.

A park spokesperson admitted the park's fault in not properly checking all safety belts before beginning the operation of the ride.
