Investigators are trying to figure out why a teen fell from a festival ride in Oshkosh Saturday.

16-year-old Elizabeth Mohl of Neenah was killed after falling 40 to 50 feet from a ride called "Air Glory". The Lifest web site says the Air Glory ride begins by launching two to three people almost 100 feet in the air. Then the riders pull a rip cord, sending them into a freefall glide. For some reason after the cord was pulled, Mohl fell to the ground.

A police sergeant says it's too early to say if the matter is criminal in nature.
