A filter pump malfunction in a water ride at Southern Indiana's Holiday World caused fumes that sent 42 people to a hospital with breathing troubles.

"Koch says lifeguards immediately got everyone out of the water ride and closed off the area. A park spokeswoman says staffers gave oxygen to those who needed it."

Holiday World's preparation for emergencies is right on the ball. The extensive training really pays off.

My first thought about toxic fumes (AFTER making sure everybody was okay) was "Okay, who had Taco Bell for dinner last night?"

I drive in & out of Boston, so I ride coasters to relax!

Personally I hope everyone who was involved is ok. That was my first thought honestly.

Ouch, I hope everyone is alright but that is some serious stuff. The training paid off sure, but I hope those people got a refund or free pass for that.
