Another decapitation at a theme park
 

When are people going to learn?

Decapitation

There is a good reason they have those "Danger, do not enter" signs. :rolleyes:

Dear RStar,

The short answer is never. Besides, it would stop the necessity of the Annual Darwin Awards.

The reality is that it just places more pressure on theme parks to ensure safety, insurance companies increase their premiums, which increases gate prices and reduces rider enjoyment due to more facism in terms of retraints and initimidating fvcking signs. So no-one wins (except the Insurer).

So much for escaping reality when you go to a theme park.

Hugs,

The Stoat.

Apparently this guy escaped reality.
At least, most of him did.

Ironic- I was just explaining the Darwin Awards to a client today. This would have been a useful example.

(Sorry to sound so crass, but when someone so stupidly ignores the barriers and signage designed to keep them healthy and in one piece, I have diminished sympathy for them).

:decap:

:rolleyes:








and that goes for the guy who posted the :decap: , too.

I've got some sympathy for what the family must be feeling, but for the kid himself? Who climbed 2 six foot fences and ignored all warnings (warnings that should hardly be necessary to begin with) to get into the path of a certified death machine? Got what he deserved.

eeeks, I climbed two six foot fences to break into Disneyland once. I could have been decapitated by the Train ... since i had to cross the tracks to enter the Park near it's a small world. Ooops.

This is virtually an identical story to the one that happen in NoCal on the Top Gun Coaster. Guy loses hat on coaster. Guy climbs fence to retrieve hat. Guy gets it in the head. So so stupid.
