Batman Kills Teen At Six Flags Amusement Park
« on: June 29, 2008, 04:19:58 PM »

http://www.news-journal.com/nation/content/shared-gen/ap/National/Six_Flags_Death.html

 I just keep wondering if his head hit between somone's feet, since they hang down there . . . and did they (the ride passengers up front) see it coming? Maybe pulled their feet up...

 Anyway. What a memory.

  "Yeh. I rode the Batman ride."

Six flags, although I know this incident isn't their fault, is getting a bad reputation.  Last year they amputated two feet off of a girl here.  That one they still deny but it has to be their fault for not keeping up the ride.

Oh and an Atlanta link this morning said he was trying to grab the foot of someone on the ride.

Apparently not wise enough.

Like my momma always said: "Stupid is as stupid does."

It's a shame, but it's also no one's fault but the kid's. I mean...really? You're going to jump in the path of a speeding roller coaster? One named after Batman, no less?

That's two Batman related deaths in short period of time. I'm not seeing that movie alone.

Who in their right mind thinks that rollercoasters are "safe" to begin with? I mean, they do all kinds of crazy turns and shit while going 60mph.

Anybody who grew up near Cedar Point believes in the safety record of roller coasters.

This kid and his friend apparently jumped not one, but two fences to get to the spot of the incident.  :roll:

Why would you attempt to grab somebodies foot while they go by at 50 MPH.  That's just . . .  oh wait it was in the south. 

Feel bad for the people on the ride cause I'm sure they saw it happening.
