Oh my gosh, that's terrible! Did you see the thing about the deaths earlier that week? This guy's new wife died but he survived. Man, that's gotta hurt. I feel terrible now. *sigh*

This seems eerily similar to what happened at Kennywood during SRM, but this ride was capable of doing more damage than the Whip. Sad...
