A MAN has been left paralysed after he broke his neck riding a roller-coaster with his great nephew.
Robert Sycamore, 58, was riding the 80kph Grand National roller-coaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in Lancashire, England, when the freak accident occurred, the Mirror reports.
"My son was with him and he's come back screaming," said Darren Parlour, Mr Sycamore's nephew. "Rob's a big bloke and he was down in the footwell of the carriage.
"His ear was on his shoulder and he was totally blue and black. His neck snapped — the muscles collapsed and he's just melted into the seat.
"I climbed in with Rob and was holding his head so it didn't move. The emergency services were unbelievable — how he stayed alive, I don't know."

Mr Sycamore is currently on a life support machine and the family has been told he will not be able to use his body, the Mirror reports.
He is understood to suffer from spondylitis, or inflammation of the vertebrae in the back, but it is unclear if this condition contributed to his injury.
A Pleasure Beach spokesman insisted the 70-year-old wooden roller-coaster is safe and that no faults were found with the ride.
