The Rathis&rsquo; first ever visit to the city turned into a horrifying experience after Purnima Rathi, and her 16-year-old daughter Mamta fell off the &lsquo;Bandits of Robin Hood&rsquo; rollercoaster at the theme park when it suddenly tipped to one side.
They were initially admitted to Jakotia Nursing Home nearby, but have now been moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Dr Mukhi&rsquo;s Raj Orthopaedic Hospital in Mulund.

The Rathis have relatives in the vicinity of this hospital. Speaking to MiD DAY, Dr Shyamlal Mukhi, orthopaedic surgeon and director of the hospital where the two are admitted, said, &ldquo;Both are out of danger and fortunately have no head or spine injuries.
The girl has a mandible (lower jaw) fracture and would be required to undergo an operation, while the mother had a wound on her head, which was sutured at the hospital where she was first admitted, and sent. Both are in the ICU only for observation.&rdquo; The family had come down to Lonavla to attend a wedding and decided to go to the amusement park before returning to West Bengal.
&ldquo;We were to leave the city on February 8. However, we yet don&rsquo;t know how much time the two would take to recover,&rdquo; said Mukund, Purnima&rsquo;s husband. A relative who did not wish to reveal his name said, &ldquo;Close to seven members from our family had gone to the park. They were all seated in the ride.
The ride probably malfunctioned and that&rsquo;s when the emergency brakes were applied. The injuries were caused due to a bad jerk both were conscious, but had started bleeding. We have been receiving calls from worried relatives in Kolkata as well.&rdquo;
