kid decapitated by roller coaster

Okay, I know this story is old but some friends and I started discussing it recently and the argument pretty much seemed split between "That kid is retarded and they shouldn't shut down the ride" and "anyone could make that mistake they should shut that dangerous ride down". If you're not familiar with this story here's a link. [url]http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/06/30/national/main4221755.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody[/url] Basically, some kid at a six flags jumped two 6 foot fences with danger signs plastered all over them to cross through the ride area in an attempt to cut in line and the coaster came through and knocked his head off.

It says the initial reports that he was trying to get his hat were discredited and after they talked to the people who were with him when he did it, it was discovered he was trying to get to the front of the line faster.[/quote]I really hope you aren't implying that I am the dumbass. I pointed out Gunner's error.

  • During cast signing: 'So, how did this happen?' "Kicked some kids head off =/" OT: The kid is a damn idiot, 2 fences + warning signs on both? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ElementalRunner Also, you know what decapitated him? [i]A woman's leg.[/i] Yea, the women punted the kid's head right off. Safe to say her leg was shattered.[/quote]

  • Contrary to popular belief, I don't think it's the boy's fault. The rollercoaster was probably [i]heading[/i] the wrong way.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lies Retarded kid wins darwin award. Obviously the ride itself isn't the problem here, so safety isn't the issue. It says the ride was temporarily closed down to show respect for the family, which I guess I can understand.[/quote] Screw that. They should've kept the ride open and made the parents apologize to the woman who's leg got shattered because their son was retarded.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] relliK42 I heard about that. I still believe the kid is stupid for disregarding the warnings and hopping the fence.[/quote] He didn't quite know where he was headed.

  • Caption reads: [quote]Authorities say a teenager was decapitated by the roller coaster after he hopped a pair of fences and entered a restricted area at the amusement park. [/quote] By all means, 100% no doubt, this is the kids fault. There were precautions meant to keep him out: [i]the fence.[/i] He [i]had[/i] a brain meant to use logical thinking and not go into a running rollercoaster. The roller coaster should be kept open as an attraction as it is in no way responsible for this freak accident. Now if he was [i]on[/i] the ride or somewhere [i]not[/i] restricted and this happened, your damn right it needs to be shut down. But that's not the case, this is simply Darwinism showing through.
