Wednesday 28 September 2022 04:47 PM Melbourne Show rollercoaster accident: Man who filmed Shylah Rodden reveals ... trends now
The traumatised man who accidentally captured the tragic moment a young woman was struck by a rollercoaster travelling 70km/h says he 'hasn't slept since'.
Jordan said he was filming his sister and partner riding the Rebel Coaster at the Melbourne Royal Show on Sunday when he captured the moment Shylah Rodden, 26, was struck by the ride.
The shocking video shows Ms Rodden get dragged halfway up the ride's next loop before falling nine metres to the ground.
Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to share the disturbing footage out of respect for Ms Rodden's family.

Jordan said he watched Ms Rodden walk to the track and bend down to retrieve something, all without noticing the roller coaster hurling towards her.
'It all happened so quickly but so slowly. All of a sudden, I saw someone getting taken up but at the same time I'm thinking "f**k, my sister, my partner",' he told 7News.
Ms Rodden remains in a coma with 'horrific' facial injuries her family describes as 'life-changing'.
However, the thing that surprised Jordan was how quiet Ms Rodden was immediately after she was hit.
'I didn't hear her scream. The screams that I heard came from onlookers, I think. It happened so fast,' he said.

Ms Rodden's devastated family have lashed out at cruel online bullies blaming Ms Rodden for her injuries while she remains in a critical condition and unable to talk, let alone defend herself.
'It's sad and disgusting to see the false stories and cover up when my sister is fighting for her life,' her sister, Caisha, told
