A serious incident occurred during the Sea Festival in Klaipėda when a Czech man, who had brought the attraction 'Octopus', found himself involved in a tragic situation. Witnesses reported that a man and his eight-year-old grandson fell from the ride under unclear circumstances, leading to the child's injury and the grandfather's attempt to save him, which resulted in additional injuries to himself. Both were hospitalized, with the grandfather requiring surgery due to the severity of his injuries.

In the aftermath, relatives and bystanders sought public assistance in gathering footage to clarify the events leading to the fall. The incident raised concerns about safety regulations for amusement park attractions and accountability for operators. The public interest in the case highlights a community's desire for answers regarding the safety measures implemented at local festivities.

As the investigation concluded, the ride's owner, V. Helferis, was brought to court. Currently recovering from his own injuries, he joined the hearing remotely, which adds another layer of complexity to the proceedings. This case not only reflects individual tragedy but also emphasizes the broader implications for safety and accountability in the amusement industry, particularly in community celebrations.
