Nothing to do with the ride itself this happened due to the negligence of the operator.

Before rides like these start they are meant to check everyone is secured.

They usually come round and try to lift the harness to make sure it's actually locked in.

If they can't lock it down you get kicked off the ride.

The worker here just couldn't be bothered to do his damn job (a basic safety check) which involves looking after people's lives.

But really these parks need to put operators through difficult and extensive competency tests to prevent things like this happening.

Wow i know the parents are sick you do every thing in your power to make sure your child isnt a victim of them rough ass STL streets only for him to die in a damn amusement park.

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

Bruh the dude landed face first, the average civilian is not trying to touch an obvious dead body or even the see the aftermath of that scene. At the rate of speed he was launched I don't even want to imagine what his physical appearance looked like.

Smh look at this shyt

It was the big dude who fell? These rides ain’t designed for tall and/or overweight people.

 

[Metal Face]

Yeah I think I'm skipping Six Flags this Summer

I'm saying. Most people aren't equipped emotionally to deal with that shyt

looks like it's teacups for me here on out brehs

to that child.

From what I understand these theme parks don't have regulations on a lot of their rides/machinery. But of course the food establishments do

From 2007.... Be safe out there brehs.


Natashia West was injured Thursday on the Magic Teacup ride at Boomers, just south of Fort Lauderdale. She remained sedated Monday with head injuries.

"All I want is for her to be the same little girl she was," said Donnie Jackson, her father.

The ride carries passengers inside round cups. At the center of each cup is a wheel riders can turn to control how fast it spins. It was not clear how Natashia hit her head or what part of the ride she hit it on.

State officials inspected the ride Friday and found no mechanical problems, agency spokesman Terence McElroy said. Watch girl's father call for more oversight »

The department has not concluded its investigation but expects to release a report this week. The ride was cleared by the department to open but remained closed Monday, McElroy said. A routine inspection by the department in April also found the ride to have no mechanical problems.

The accident was the second of at least three serious ones in eight days at U.S. amusement parks.

People call me p*ssy all the time for not doing high flying roller coasters and shyt like this, nope I will stay on the ground with your belongings when and if you return

All I ever did at amusement parks was eat and play games. Couldn't pay me to get on those rides

The worst is when that kid got decapitated by a slide that had no business being open..

Then they opened the park like the next day

That slide from what I remember the physics of it all ..the slide shouldn't have been open because it was deadly and bodies.wouldnt stay in the slide due to the angles and shyt.
