Seagull Hits Teen in the Face While on Amusement Ride

Posted: July 22, 2021

Georgia Reed, 14, and Kiley Holman, 13, who live near Weatherly, Pennsylvania, got quite the surprise visitor while on a ride at Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey earlier this month.

Georgia was celebrating her 14th birthday while on vacation and decided to go on the SpringShot ride at the amusement park.

Video shows the two teenagers get fired into the air and then, shockingly, Kiley comes face-to-face with a seagull.

“When I got shot up, then I saw it. It was going the opposite way and then it came back and hit me right in the face,” Kiley said. “It felt really light and it only left like the tiniest scratch.”

Kiley was able to remove the bird and it seemingly flew away uninjured.
