I'm a big dude, with a big belly. These harnesses suck for us but I've been on rides, last week in fact, that have sensors to detect if it isn't engaged. Got on it, felt the click, seemed secure. Operator got my attention and pointed at his safety monitor that had my car highlighted in red...ride wouldn't take off unless I got the harness to click again. I adjusted myself, got it to click again, screen turned green and we went on our way.

This seems like a pretty modern ride. Sucks they didn't implement a few more basic safety measures to prevent this. Those poor ride operators though...they'll be reliving those moments in their heads and in court for many years to come.

Imagine you are flying down almost in freefall, you fall out of the seat terrifyingly far from the ground, the last thing you hear is that witch cackling...

This ride has the same thing then, I guess that's what the operator meant by "The light was green".

I think the kid did not understand the gravity of his situation. Was he from Australia, where the gravity is closer?

I just don't like how some peoples reaction is to pull out their cell phone, start recording, and NOT send it to me directly.

This website is just FILLED with horrific content!

Um.......that's why I'm here.

At least once he/she realized what happened they turned the camera. Perhaps not on purpose but more out of shock and disbelief of what had jus transpired.
But if folks didn’t do that, we wouldn’t have this site and 90% of what we all come here for

no bud, i was talking about the people in the background. no shit the person who made this vid was already recording lol

Yes, exactly, he is too fucking fat to lock into that ride safely. I'm guessing today's "wokeness" (if I'm using that term correctly, you know, the old "politically correct") got him killed. Can no longer say retarded, can't say ******, and don't dare say too fucking fat or someone's feelings get hurt. Well, the demise of this poor kid proved something and I'll let you figure out what it is. On another note, why hasn't a clan of midgets protested to get the "Must be this tall to ride this ride" rules thrown out? A: Because they're too smart and life is too short.

Lol so i'm reading through the multiple replies i got on my first comment saying how it's disgusting people pull their phones out and film instead of helping.

So yall don't agree? Yoy are that bad of a person?

I understand we are on a gore site but that does not exempt everyone here from having morals and being a good person. That is a kid laying there dead or dying. Yall are sick if that does not trigger a help response...

I would have at least checked for a pulse, but don't forget the ABCs of first aid: Always Bring Camera

At least we know the perimeter fencing is the correct distance.
Carnies..did you check him, did you check him...more concerned about who is getting fired/sued...
