Actually some other videos I watched do show net the whole way. Must not have been fully installed for the first run I saw

The park better pay up for this family. But they will likely hold his age against him.

Man, what a tragedy. That ride is over. No way they reopen it.
[Reply]

Damn, didnt think about that one.

Really? I would guess weight is more important than age.

I know they wouldnt let my son ride alone at one in Corpus because they required at least two rider and 185+ pounds. Im guessing that varies by ride though...

How could SB verify a child's age? It's not like many of them have ID cards, much less a way to carry them with swim trunks.

KCTV's website has removed the age requirement, I guess.

Who saw this coming?













Oh, everybody? Okay.
[Reply]

Yes.

That poor kid, and I can't even imagine the grief the parents are going through.
[Reply]

The kids that where in line and watched it... That park is done. Probably all around the country. That is some major lawsuit city. Holy crap!
[Reply]

And? Thoughts or opinions as it relates to this story from someone who has ridden it?
[Reply]

I'll bet you it's not done.

That's sad. He wasn't very head strong to ride that slide under age. He'll never grow up to be the head of a major corporation like the one that owns that water park

Only thing I've read so far is a height restriction.


I can relate. (Present when folks were killed). Things happen in an instant & your whole life is never the same.

Dreams, what dreams?

CP is pretty horrible, but this really isn't appropriate. The kid was 12.
