A 36-year-old young man, an English court worker, died this morning at an attraction during the Matamá festivities, in Vigo.

The "grasshopper" attraction that Iván Castaño Hervella was riding had one of its arms detached and hit the ground and died. Although the person in charge pressed the button that stops the attraction, it took two turns to do so.

The attraction had passed the annual technical certificate, and its documentation was in order.

The Matamá city council suspended the party program completely and expressed its condolences to the family while the police opened the necessary procedures to investigate what happened.
