Teenager falls to his death on amusement park ride

[SHOdown220]

Just horrible, doesn’t appear he was securely fastened in when the ride came down and he slid out of his seat. These places have minimum wage teenagers checking for safety restraints. There’s a video of people questioning if they are secured properly then a video of the actual incident. I’ll refrain from posting them here.

This was on the local news this morning. I think it was a pretty new ride. Sucker was 400' high IIRC.

One of the reasons I will not ride roller coasters or other rides at amusement parks. The main reason is just because I’m a puss.

Yeah that video was brutal. More concerning though is it took for ****ing ever for anyone to render aid. The questioning of whether he was checked came almost immediately after the fall. They were legit standing there talking about it while kid was lying on the floor 20ft from them. Like wtf, sort that shit out later, your main concern is the kid and then the other riders. Other riders were screaming to be unhooked, shit was crazy.

Yeah, have done it....not again. Reward isn't worth the risk and those guys are not rockstarts to be putting my life into their hands.

Of course…blame it on the park instead of natural selection…. I guess im being too hard since it is only a 14 year old ****ING MUTANT!

The size of that kid!!! Dafuq they feeding him???

have the video of him laying dead…. Pretty rough way to go, you know he broke damn near everything.

I'm gonna guess that was insta-death. Without busting out my physics books and A&P books, gonna guess (again) that even coming down sideways feet first his neurons couldn't even fire fast enough to alert the brain. That just very recently turned to mush.

What do you think his last words were?

When I highsided my R1 and was flying through the air my brain went into ****ing overload. Wasn’t really scared and felt everything. But it didn’t hurt when I hit the ground, slid, hit the curb head (side) first, then shoulder, flipping again into the air, and finally coming to stop in dirt. Shit was crazy.

Edit: he probably didn’t even fully realize what was about to happen since he was expecting to be in free fall.

That splat sound is stuck in my head

I can't imagine how his parents are going through the days now

Yaaa no way I’m watching that

Crazy shit though… it’ll be interesting to see what my dad finds out, he’s a amusement park ride inspector and they usually get all the details on what went wrong

Pretty simple, people that are that fat body shape distort heavily under those g-forces. Pretty easy to slip out with how his shoulder restraints were.
