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

[Amerikan Melanin]

RIP to breh but I really don’t see how he couldn’t just hold on to the handles, he’s in a sitting position? Also he wasn’t screaming I’m not locked in? I would have been hysterical.


His family gonna sue the entire shyt out that park. My god this is horrible.

only 14.

Amusement parks are not regulated enough

You got high school kids who had a day of training in charge of powerful rides. I know because I was one of them.

Why does somebody go "Whooooo" like they Ric Flair near the end of the vid

 

[whatthatthangsmelllike]

I know supreme scream at knotts berry farm have a similar ride but they have a belt connected at the crouch area

 

[Umoja]

Am I wrong for giving the face at screams of "call an ambulance, call an ambulance...."

Yes

Obviously the kid was dead but in the moment hope and desperation kicks in.

quicker ride turn around and less mistakes with these. ride operators can quickly see who has their safety harness on or off. Seatbelts that completely rely on the rider to buckle don't stand out as much and can lead to mistakes by the rider.

some of the newer versions all 4 harnesses come down at once. So even quicker.

not sure if they are safer (otherwise we wouldn't be talking about this).

They should have a system that prevents the ride from starting unless everybody on it is properly secured

pretty sure he got threw out when the ride started braking at the end

that’s like me telling you my passenger seatbelt don’t clasp , so you gotta hold it while I go from 100-0 with a hard brake .

good lucc with that

 

[broller]

Damn that's tragic. R.I.P. to him.

 

[NoMorePie]

Yeah. I'm officially retiring from all rides that require me to leave the ground.
