Stupid kid decapitated by Six Flags ride.

[quote name='bigdaddy']Exactly, that is sad, this isn't. I high school some ass was making fun of the drunk driving speech they gave every year at my high school. A week later that fucker was dead when he drove into a ditch after prom. There is no compassion for that, he was a fucker, and I'm VERY glad he didn't kill anyone else.[/QUOTE]

This doesn't make sense to me.

A person doesn't mind dying. That is, they can't care -- they're dead. The deceased can't have emotion, so it's silly to feel bad for them, or say it doesn't matter because of who they were. The aspect of death that should be saddening is the emotions of those affected, who survive and miss the presence of the deceased.

If the dumb coaster-jumping kid's friendly and family suffer more than van-girl's, I'd consider coaster-jumping kid's death to be more tragic.


This is a pretty dumb argument, but I think it gets down to a fundamental difference in how death is viewed.

Are you sure? He might find that hard to swallow.
 
Ok, totally wanted to comment on this earlier, but my inner child controlled my fingers. A lady with a fake leg went on Wicked Twister at Cedar point in Ohio. It landed by Disaster Transport. You can't ride Wicked Twister with fake legs anymore. I wonder if anyone fainted when they saw the plastic leg flying towards Cedar Point's million dollar garage. I am in the process of MSPainting a reenactment of the kid getting his head falcon kicked off.

For both comment and visual effect.
 
Everyone in here making jokes about this ought to be ashamed. Uncalled for. It is obvious what he did was stupid. But imagine if a friend, a loved one, or a family member was reading this thread. Come on people, be compassionate.

Most CAGs don't have a lot of things when it comes to being a decent person.

And yes, I have a sense of humor, assholes.

If the kid knew anything about having a good time he wouldn't have been anywhere near the murdercoaster -- not with opportunities like this around.

Dumb and Dumber quote about a kid who got his head kicked off? You have easily made the BEST post on this forum that I've read here.

"I-I just thought he was really quiet."

I highly doubt that anyone connected would read this thread. Death of someone close to you kinda does that to you. Besides, if I was face to face with his parents, I wouldn't say, "Damn, your kid was a moron," but man - would I be thinking it REALLY hard.

Besides, he was part of a church group, so he's with God now and that is what He planned, right?

Besides, part two, they're religious - they'll forgive us.

If I die doing something incredibly stupid like jumping a shark or jumping over a fence to get a hat or grab peoples legs on a roller coaster, everyone here has the right to make fun of me on the internet and at my funeral. In fact, you can teabag my dead body. I honestly feel bad for the ones who saw it and the person who kicked his head off. If you are dumb enough to jump in front of a machine that doesn't care if you live or die, you deserve the consequences. I wonder what Ed Markey will have to say about this. He is the JT of Roller Coasters.
 
This is like the third time. The idiots climb a huge fence and get under the batman ride. This ride is a hanging ride where the track is above you. You .can get into the park this way. The cut through where the ride goes over your head in a flip. Then you hop a short fence and your in the park for free. It happened last year too. Peoples heads get hit by peoples feet. Thats what they get for being stupid. Six flags should electify the fence.
 
That's wild.

Most of the time you have to try really hard to get killed by a roller coaster ride, and this is no exception. Still tragic though.

I think everyone here knows those kids who never listened to reason and always had to act the fool. Everyone has done something stupid at one point, but I figure the law of averages works to make victims out of the repeat offenders. Let's not forget that this kid put the rider in danger too - if the rider had lost a leg I doubt anyone here would feel any sympathy for the kid.
 
I think it's a little funny that the reporter used the wording "The boy ended up being decaptitated", almost implying that he sort of wasn't decapitated at first, and then some other stuff happened, and then finally decapitation took place. Anybody? No?

Anyway, this is pretty rough. I feel bad for the family. Especially years down the road when someone asks the parents if they have any kids, and then they say "We did, but our son passed away", and then the people say "Oh my God, I'm so sorry, what happened?", and then they have to reply "He got his head lopped off by a rollercoaster". Tragic.
 
When I first read this story yesterday soon after it happened, the end of the story said that cause of death still had to be determined, pending an autopsy...#-o
 
It sucks for the family of the kid, but really if it wasn't a roller coaster something else would have done this kid in. I'm kinda shocked people on the internet haven't found his my space and started pissing all over it.

The internet is so freaking unforgiving about stuff like this. But when you can't do decent things like not move in front of a speeding machine you're going to get no sympathy.

At the very least I hope this shows the kids he went to school/church with that your not immortal at 17. Wake your ass up and don't do stupid shit or your ass will be dead.

And his memory will live on. Every person waiting in line for that ride will talk about the kid who got his head ripped off getting a hat.
 
Oh god! Make it stop before I lose my head!

[quote name='electronicthroat']You people have no compassion.[/quote]

Bwahahahahhahahha! oh man... Tree'D!
 
which six flags is this? I went to Great Adventure, and my cousin lost his hat on Superman Ultimate flight. they said he couldn't get it back until the park closed, so he just left it there. The ride goes dangerously low the the ground, so you would be decapitated if you wanted to retrieve anything. He didn't wanna wear glasses on the ride.

Anyway, anyone who goes in the path of a dangerous vehicle to retrieve something less than $20 is really stupid. Sure, its sad, but he shouldn't have done it at all. BTW, what happened on Apollo's chariet?

Edit: Read this: http://www.ajc.com/health/content/metro/cobb/stories/2008/06/28/six_flags_death.html
"According to police and the amusement park, Ferguson and a friend climbed over two 6-foot fences -- a wrought-iron style park perimeter fence and a second chainlink fence around the Batman ride -- as a shortcut to get back into the park after lunch. Signs about 40 to 50 feet apart on the outer fence warn that it is a "restricted area" for "authorized personnel only." According to park officials, a sign on a locked gate at the chain link fence also reads "Danger zone" and "Do not enter.""

[quote name='Kendal']Where and what coaster is that? Looks like a Morgan Hyper. Japan?[/quote]

The name of it is Vanish and it is in Yokohama, Japan.

Here's a video of it from the night time.

He was stupid. Enough said. If a family member/loved one did something this stupid, I honestly wouldn't stop the jokes from coming, because it's damn obvious he deserves no compassion for being such a fucking dumbass.

Daaaaaaamn. That really sucks. R.I.P. son. Oh, and a message from the kid that died to all the assholes: fuck you guys, you heartless dicks.
 
I've ridden the Batman ride at Six Flags in Atlanta. I waited an extra 15 minutes or so just so I could sit up front. I feel gipped now to know that I could have kicked someone's head off and didn't get to. Maybe next time.
 
[quote name='help1']Stupid OP, "Six parks?" Moar like Six Flags, m i rite?[/QUOTE]
"Six Flags, more fun!"

Now we know what the seventh flag is.
 
I wonder how much the shoe that was used to kick the kids head off would sell for on eBay? I bet that shoe has special god-like powers now.
 
The caution flag?

So on my local news, they interviewed an eye witness who said two boys went over the fence. One kid ducked, the other kid was trying to grab some people's legs. He was then thrown against a pole and his head popped off from the force. Then the news anchor said that the kid might have been trying to get a hat. Someone needs to get the story straight. Was he grabbing legs while getting his hat? Was he just getting his hat? Was he tickling the feet of riders? I really hop he was trying to get his lost hat.

Still no answer, but we learned that your head can fall off from hitting a pole!

I thought it was a known fact that if anything goes over the fence it was gone forever. Thats why you dont take anything on the coaster itself.

He hit a pole and his head popped off? Damn I want a video of that.. If he was a bobble head doll I might understand, but human? hmm.. :whee:

Oh wow.. it just appeared on the 11PM news here.
 
I feel so bad for laughing at these photoshops in this thread


But I don't feel sorry for the kid, he deserved it, especially for him jumping up to try to grab somebody's foot

At Cedar Point and Disney. But it is ok at Six Flags where they just don't give a shit. ;) My worst experiences have been at Six Flags parks. I swear they draw some unruly people and hire dipshits to operate the rides. I am not saying every SF park is this way, but mine were.
 
I still can't wrap my head around this entire event. I've read Kendal's stuff but I still can't picture it in my mind.
 
This is too funny. That dude was stupid. Period. I don't care if the guy was my brother, if I had to go to his funeral, I prolly would be cracking jokes in the eulogy.

I've lost a hat on a ride at that very same Six Flags park (not on Batman tho). Yeah, I was kinda mad, but I knew it was my own damn fault for forgetting to take it off. Did I jump a fence to get it back? Hell no. Consequently, I went back almost a month later, and the hat was still there underneath the coaster. Those kids that run the ride are so lazy, the dude's head may still be there too.

I don't feel sorry at all for the guy who lost his head. He was an idiot. He made an idoitic mistake. That mistake cost him his life. There usually are consequences to doing stupid stuff, and this dude suffered the ultimate consequence.

I DO feel sorry for the people who were undoubtably standing in line for an hour or more and couldn't ride the Batman ride because of this idiot. That would have pissed me off to no end if I had been in that line and told the coaster was being shut down cause of some douche broke the rules and got his head knocked off. This guy had no consideration for himself nor for others in the park, including his other church-mates who prolly had to cut their visit short because of this moron.
