14 year old killed after being thrown from “drop tower” ride

[ChuckTaylor84]

he didn’t get shot , he was killed instantly on impact . Ain’t no aid they can provide to breh.

Nobody even checked if he was still breathing. There has been situations where people fall from high places and survive.

People would rather pull out their phones to film it but not check on dude

That shyt ain't right

Im 6’5 and went to six flags in vallejo years ago…theres a ride i forgot what its called but one the bigger one….twists and turns….theres a part where the ride turned to the side and my legs kinda hanging and it came super close to a bar…

probably would ripped my leg off

This is why I really stopped riding rides. I don't think the builders account for people outside the norms.

I was on a ride and because I'm longer than normal people, I had to physically tuck my head and legs to keep them from striking bars. That's what first opened my eyes to fukk putting my life in the hands of someone else unnecessarily.

When I was a kid, I got on one of those similar free fall drop rides at 6 Flags. It fukked me up even more and made me scared of roller coasters. Still to this day I only go on the log ride. fukk al that other shyt.

No one is surviving a fall at 30-50 MPH at a height of 50-60 feet.

Even if he was breathing, what the fukk is a carnival attendant gonna do? You can't touch the victim because of injuries and possibly making things worse.

Theirs a ride called boomer rang at Six Flags in Vallejo.. Got stuck upside down on that shyt for like 5-10 minutes one time (the ride broke down mid way, we was like damn hope the seats dont come undone ) , never really been on roller coasters since then

I feel like if the seats didn't tip forward but stayed in their original positions he could have survived not being properly strapped in.

I'm a big fan of roller coasters. Been on all the different types, standing, superman flying style, backwards, wooden, etc. I used to love the type of ride that this thread is about. I remember one day riding it like 20 times. Then one time I tried it and I felt like I was going to fly out. Around the same time at a park near me one of the wires snapped and cut a girl's feet off on this type of ride. I became shook of that ride and never rode it again. Free fall into concrete...it's crazy. With a roller coaster, there are actual tracks (though those sometimes break too).

I took a girl to an amusement park and they had this type of ride and I refused to ride it with her. I'm like no, no way that shyt scares me. She was disappointed, but I just couldn't do it.

I watched the video, RIP to this boy. Super sad...a nightmare come true

As other people have said, all of these rides need to have seat belts as a back up and then the ride shouldn't start unless the metal bars are secured.

They got cars that will sound off if your seat belt isn't on but, a million dollar ride doesn't? Make it make sense. Hope that park gets sued out the ass.

rip to that kid

I remember one ride at kennywood I could feel my self slipping out of the bars, so I held on for dear life. Why I haven't fukked with rollar coasters since I was a teen.

Thing is, icon park ain’t really an amusement park so I’ve been extra weary on getting on the rides there, looks like I def won’t now

I always go to Orlando and this fall I finally went there to see the Ferris wheel . The area Is pretty lame

Grown man pulling out his phone and recording, hope he's next

 

[posterchild336]

This is so sad

 

[posterchild336]

Those blood curdling screams from spectators. I hope no one had to witness their loved one go like this.

Rip to the young boy.

I think the parents saw

I always think about folks in situations like this. You know your love one is in a place or situation where a terrible accident just happened. So in the Immediate aftermath you’re holding out hope while everybody figures out what happened and that your person will walk out like everyone else is doing, so you can breath a sigh of relief but they never walk out and the realization it was your loved one hits you like a ton of bricks

I've gotten a few of these phone calls..

Worst shyt in the world.

I remember one time my boy called and said he had to tell me something and I was just like.. tell me in the morning.. I can't do it.

I wanna sleep tonight.

I think the parents saw

That's definitely worse ..

This shyt is so fukked up
