Verruckt. Crazy.

I'd give it a whirl.

I will add that I never open threads with this kind of title. Exception---it was started by Clizzy. :lol2:

You'd have to rent a ditch witch to get your trunks removed from the colon. You'd likely only do it once considering the bruise in the taint area.

 

I could do this in my Speedo.

Officials investigate death of boy at Kansas water park | KSN-TV

 

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — The 10-year-old son of a Kansas state lawmaker died while riding a waterslide that’s billed as the world’s largest, according to officials and the boy’s family.

 

Few details have been released about the Sunday death on the Verruckt, a 168-foot-tall waterslide that is one of the main attractions at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City. The park was closed Monday.

That doesn't look that scary...

What a sad turn of events.

 

According to recently released details, the boy was decapitated. I've read reports that the safety straps each rider wears were velcro attached and some riders have reported their straps came undone on the ride. They haven't said that this happened in this instance.

Gruesome details revealed in boy's water slide death at Kansas water park | abc7ny.com

 

The family of the boy who died on the slide has received a $20 Million settlement.

One of the park owners and the ride designer have been charged with reckless second-degree murder. The park operations manager has been charged with 20 felonies, including involuntary manslaughter.

 

The indictment apparently states that the park co-owner, Jeffrey Henry, who has been charged with second degree murder, was the primary designer of the water-slide and has no engineering/design background to be doing so. The design and construction process was all rushed to the point of reckless irresponsibility in order to get the slide built in time to be featured on a television show featuring 'extreme water parks'. Henry was also quoted in the indictment as having said that part of the excitement of riding the slide is knowing "I could die on this slide".

 

The Latest: Waterpark officials dispute charges in death

Wow.. Talk about putting money over lives. What a sad tragedy.

They should not have been able to force teenage lifeguards to “test” the ride every morning. Hiding injury reports...what were they thinking? Oh yeah... $$$. I am glad they face criminal charges.

 

 

I worry about today’s desire for amusement park rides to be bigger, badder, faster, and scarier.
