Re: RE: This really saddened me a bit.

Well, the reason this saddened me so much was because yesterday i witnessed a death and death has been on my mind lately.

How did you witness this death? Please explain the context of the event.

I didnt say this death, i said A death. I saw a car get crushed by a semi yesterday and a little boy was thrown out of the front of the car. Fucking scary shit, it makes you realise that life can be over in the blink of an eye.

First of all, they don't need to make these rides safer... The ride itself was safe for a normal adult...

It's like taking a pregnant woman on a roller coaster... You're just begging for trouble =\

Honestly, people are stupid, its just that simple... "Hmmmmmmmmm, this movie Sin City looks good,
lets take my 6 year old child who has never been exposed to violence to see it... thats a good idea, lets do that!"

As for car accidents, I witness one too... I didn't actually see the accident, I probably got there a few minutes after it happened... The husband FLEW THROUGH the windshield, and the wife splattered her head into the steering wheel... looked lovely... spectacular, breathtaking :P

lol everyone's repeating what i said in their own words. but everyone is right too. people are getting stupider now, which leads to lack of responsibility. once again, i blame the mother.

For a 4 year old that is.

Only car accident I saw where a person might have died is when a car flipped over and smahed into another car in the other lane, dunno if they died but it looked like a pretty dang hard hit.

Worst thing that ever happened to me was once driving down the highway a rock just bigger than the size of a fist hit my windshield and cracked the entire thing, didn't quite break through though, just flew over the car. Nothing major, it just cost a heavy chunk of money for not being my fault.

How could they have age restrictions? Think about that seriously for a minute.

Operator: "Let's see, little boy...well you meet the height requirement. You have to be 7 to ride this. How old are you?"
5-year old boy: "I'm 8 and a half."
Operator: "I dunno little guy, I'm gonna need to see some I.D."
Boy: "Dude, I'm just a kid. I have a library card, but it doesn't have my age on it. You want that?"
Operator: "Ah, whatever, just get on the ride."

A weight restriction might work, but some people are quite sensitive about that, so I don't see them ever implementing such a thing. And guys, 5 Gs for an adult is just as bad as 5 Gs for a kid. It varies by how much the kid weighs. A kid should be able to withstand their own weight 5 times as much as me or you should. The kid weighs less, so it's less for him.

And since they didn't find any evidence of physical harm, he was probably like, scared to death. Don't blame the mom or Disney. The kid made the choice to get on the ride, and the mom probably saw plenty of other kids just as small (and smaller) getting on as well. If the kid was so weak-minded that he could be scared to death, you'd think he would have known better than to hop on that ride.

PS: Don't you like how they throw the old lady's death at the very end? Apparently nobody cares when old people die.

The old lady thing shouldn't even be in that article... that pirates of the caribbean ride is 100% safe...
she died because she was old, not because she went on that ride...

Theres only one ride that I THINK should have been fixed, and actually was fixed...

in west edmonton mall, there was a ride called the drop of doom... 80 feet drop, few seconds, you know the deal...

anyways, this girl with really long hair goes on the ride, and it gets caught in the very back of the ride, and she gets scalped as she goes down the ride... ouch >.<
they took that ride out of there right away... i guess they did the right thing, because i dont think anybody would want to ride that thinga after an incident like that... =\

That happened at the Power Tower at Cedar Point a time or two. It's like a 100+ foot drop. It goes up, drops, up, drops, etc.

That would seriously hurt. And then the people next to you would be like WHO SHE HAS NO SCALP, or they wouldn't notice or something. Yep, it'd suck.

[msbrunnettemickey]

Yeah, the old 70 year old lady, had diabetes, and something in the liver, maybe cancer.

I think she wanted to go to disney world before she died.

But instead she actually died IN it.

Rofl.

That'd be cool to see on the rides where they take your picture as you're going down. XD

This thread in one simple equation:

Old people/Young children + Amusement rides = NO YOU FOOLS
