The horrific deaths of four people at a Gold Coast theme park have resulted in a court case against Dreamworld, by safety officers who witnessed the tragedy.
Four former Dreamworld workers are suing over the trauma they suffered as first responders at the fatal incident on the Thunder River Rapids ride in October 2016.
New Zealander Cindy Low along with Roozi Araghi, Kate Goodchild and Luke Dorsett were crushed when their ride flipped.
The four medical staff could do nothing for the victims, who were crushed between the wooden conveyor and the raft.
The level of trauma suffered by the first responders was "beyond anything I have ever seen", their lawyer Tina Ibraheem said in a statement to news.com.au.

- Dreamworld tragedy: How did it happen?
Three of the four workers will give evidence into the inquest.
All four have left Dreamworld and are involved in ongoing counselling.
"Nobody should ever have to see what they were confronted with when they entered that trench," Ms Ibraheem told news.com.au.
"The victims' bodies were so badly disfigured from crush and compression injuries that these first aid officers were completely helpless, there was nothing they could do."
Ms Ibraheem said her clients will have to live with those images for the rest of their lives."
