There are support hoops the whole way, but only netting on the vertical and hill portion
Actually some other videos I watched do show net the whole way. Must not have been fully installed for the first run I saw

What a horrible accident. Thoughts for the family, and the boy.

I see that you are supposed to be at least 14 to ride that thing, too.
The park better pay up for this family. But they will likely hold his age against him.

Man, what a tragedy. That ride is over. No way they reopen it.

Really? I would guess weight is more important than age.

I know they wouldnt let my son ride alone at one in Corpus because they required at least two rider and 185+ pounds. Im guessing that varies by ride though...

How could SB verify a child's age? It's not like many of them have ID cards, much less a way to carry them with swim trunks.

KCTV's website has removed the age requirement, I guess.

Oh, everybody? Okay.

That poor kid, and I can't even imagine the grief the parents are going through.

The kids that where in line and watched it... That park is done. Probably all around the country. That is some major lawsuit city. Holy crap!

And? Thoughts or opinions as it relates to this story from someone who has ridden it?

I'll bet you it's not done.

That's sad. He wasn't very head strong to ride that slide under age. He'll never grow up to be the head of a major corporation like the one that owns that water park

Only thing I've read so far is a height restriction.


I can relate. (Present when folks were killed). Things happen in an instant & your whole life is never the same.

Dreams, what dreams?

CP is pretty horrible, but this really isn't appropriate. The kid was 12.
