(Okay first of all, please, the billion smilies in your sig is bad enough, lay off on the multiple smilies in your posts. Dear God.)

And this isn't "breaking" news as it happened a little while ago and yeah, I heard about it. Not exactly the type of stuff I want discussed on my forum, but whatever. I think it's VERY sad, anyways.

Sorry but isn't news something to dicuss i know this is really sad im sorry

Yeah its sad but that's not really your fault...I was just saying that 1) this isn't really "breaking" news and 2) I don't really see how much discussion we can have on the subject that isn't...well, you know. Sad.

I'm just saying. Its not like the thread will be locked or anything.

Accidents happen everywhere, even theme parks. I remember when I worked at Knott's Berry Farm a beam broke free on the big Ghostrider roller coaster and hit a bunch of people on the head. No fatalities but that sucks. But, it happens, unfortunately...The young girl losing her feet though, that's just horrible.

I hate that it happened.

I go to Hershey Park all the time, and over the years, I think I can recall one major accident and minor issue.

The major thing was an issue with the breaks on Tidal Force, a ride that's basically just a huge drop in the water... The boat crashed into the water too quickly and hit the rocks. No fatalities, but some serious injuries. They fixed the ride, and it's operating again... Not that I've ever been on it. I don't like huge drops to begin with, but that's just freaky.

The minor thing I was actually present/involved with... That Frog Hopper ride I see at every fair and boardwalk got stuck half way up with all the seats filled... we had to shimmy out of our seats and climb down a ladder. There was some issue with the ride needing oil or something...

There's probably been other problems, but those were the only ones that made it into the paper... (yes, it is that boring around here).

Yeah i won't go on any roller coasters or big drops or things that go up in the air or things that spin around or things that go really fast im a sissy but hey im safe! I hope!

This is the first I've heard of this. Did the girl survive? It's sad to hear that these things happen and all. I never did like thrill rides, I'm just intimidated by them.

Our local theme park had this water slide lined with rubber mattresses for people to slide down in, some girl managed to get her head stuck in between two mattresses. She drowned, since there was always a steady flow of rushing water running throughout the slide, and she'd been caught upside down. ._.

I think there was another incident where there was a game of tug of war and some dude got his arm ripped clean off, since he wound the rope around his arm. Tragedies.

It's unfortunate, theme park accidents aren't all that uncommon, however. Also in the future, please, post a link to the news.
