This is horrifying. Supposed to be a press conference soon with more details. Rumors seem to indicate it happened on the Verrukt, the world's tallest waterslide.
The park's website said Verrückt is the largest water slide in the world, and riders must be at least 14-years old and at least 54 inches tall. The combined weight of all the people on-board one raft must fall between 400 and 550 pounds. By Sunday evening, Verrückt was no longer listed as an attraction on the park's website. [Reply]

It's fast and you get a little bit of airtime, not like riding the mamba or something. The velcro straps held my fat butt in there pretty securely. [Reply]
