Des Moines Register
Lawyer Ryan Best said his account comes from conversations with numerous witnesses who reached out to him as news spread of the holiday weekend tragedy. Eleven-year-old Michael Jamarillo died after the boat flipped and his 16-year-old brother, David, was critically injured. The first people to help my clients were park guests, Best said. No one from the park responded to this incident prior to the first responders arrival.
Adventureland did not directly respond to Best s account but said that park workers actions were prompt. Prompt action was taken by the ride operator, park security, and on-site park EMS crew to respond, said spokeswoman Molly Vincent.

ALTOONA, Iowa The Jaramillo family is still in Des Moines Friday, waiting for 16-year-old David to recover after a July 3 accident at Adventureland killed his little brother, 11-year-old Michael Jaramillo.
It s been almost a week since their boat on the Raging River overturned. The more I think about it, it s not an accident. It s a tragedy, said Christian Shields, the family s pastor. Somebody is to blame for this, and certainly not the Jaramillos. And it s not Michael who gave his life to Jesus on the Fourth of July.
