Year of the cell phone accidents as Superman screens calls

Posted | Contributed by phil

While standing in line for Superman: Ride of Steel, I witnessed another cell phone incident at a Six Flags park. As a train was nearly stopped a large flash and bang erupted from one of the brakes. They of course instantly shut the ride down. This flash and bang startled everyone in line as it was totally unexpected. What caused it? A cell phone had fallen out of someones pocket and had been tossed out of the car as the train was stopping. It was thrown into the brake where it was terminated in the "FLASH" on an instant. They then had to remove all the little parts that had become stuck to the magnets. It took about 20 minutes but they did get it running again.
