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.
Man I just at Six Flags STL yesterday and getting on every ride I kept thinking, I bet none of these rides have malfunctioned lately and this'll be the time.
Now I'm really scared shitless....horrible story, RIP. [Reply]

Lol "Do you know who I am?!?!??! Im Scott Schwabs son! Let me on this ride at once!!!!" [Reply]
I confirmed from a local newscaster that he was indeed decapitated. He apparently hit one of the metal pieces holding the netting and it severed his head completely off. He was sitting on the front of the raft with people behind him too. It happened on the middle of the ride, where there is a bump. Absolutely horrifying. [Reply]

I can't even imagine being on that raft with the kid. Fucking hell. [Reply]
