A new Darwin Award winner?
Teen decapitated by ride at Six Flags - Life - MSNBC.com
Authorities told the NBC affiliate's Web site, 11Alive.com that around 2:30 p.m. that the boy was decapitated when he was struck by the Batman ride, a coaster at the amusement park that can travel as fast as 50 miles per hour. The park is just west of Atlanta. According to a Six Flags representative, a group of young people jumped over a perimeter fence near the Batman ride as it was coming. The teen was then struck and killed.

Apparently this guy jumped over 2 fences to get back to get something he left behind on the ride. WTH could be that important to take that kind of a chance?

I feel bad for the family, but honestly how hard is it ot avoid a roller coster? its like people who get hit by a train...theres a track...take two steps the the right!
Ive lost things on roller coasters before, you tell the operator and they ****ing get it between rides...not that hard.

I guess the ironic part is, he was going to get his hat that fell off during his ride.

First of all...things that fall off of roller coasters are considered "tips" in the carny world. Would you go to the table of people who just left "the bar" and take the tips that they left for their waitress/bar maid? NOOOOO!
This guy was practicing extremely bad Karma. The only thing that could have made this worse is if there were Dutch or Clowns involved... |
