Another person hit by inverter after entering restricted area

I wonder if this boy new about what happened at SFoG, I mean, afterall, it is another country. Don't get me wrong, I feel this kid is as stupid as can be. I don't care if he lost hat signed by all his favorite players of some sport. Restricted Area does not mean, "come on in, lets have a cup of coffee." It makes you wonder what kind of education these kids go through...

Cedar Point did not have a "minor accident" with Corkscrew. The chain broke, that's not an accident. Happens on coasters every year.

Hmmm does anybody know what actually made him go into the restricted area. If not....In my opinion he was "Sowing off to his friends" to look cool and got hit. Is this a bad time for the industry or what?

Why is it a bad time? What does ride safety have to do in the least litle bit with people trying to become the Darwin Award Winner? What are parks suposed to do, electrify the fence? Come on.

Disclaimer for those buzzers whom seem to take sarcasm so seriously.....
Instead of having signs that say KEEP OUT. They should say KEEP OUT OR YOU WILL DIE. Or better yet, on those nifty TV's that tend to be in queues--show what happens when someone ignores the warning. Make it like those cheezey Driver's Ed films.

Rubberducky - heres one for you:

Patrick Roy dies and goes to heaven. In scripture it says that when you go to heaven you get a mansion. Well, since Roy was such a good goalie they decided to deck his out. Three stories, neons and Avalanche collectables. Roy is pretty impressed until he looks across the street. There is a mansion 4 stories taller than his. There are spot lights and red neons and a giant "hockeytown" sign. Over loud speakers plays the "hey hey hockeytown" theme. Roy says, "How does Stevie Yzerman get a mansion like that if I'm such a good goal tender?" Then an angel says, "Oh thats not Steve Yzermans house, it belongs to God."

Red Wings for life!!!

--Dont read this if you dont understand sarcasm--

Im going with whoever said the terrorist thing. Terrorists are weird and dont like fun. Ever wonder why they dont have big amusement park rides, even though they have the cash? It is because their idea of fun is training camp. And they must have overheard somebody tlkaing about how cool B&M inverts are, so they are targeting those. Well, lets play fire with fire. Arm the gattling guns! MAn the rocket launchers!

Ok, im fine now. Just had to get that out. And I think stupid people need to be banned from Amusement parks.

Hate to go off topic but...RED WINGS SUCK!!! AVS ROCK, even though they are down 4 to nothing within 13 minutes of the first period...

This is sad. I'm going to have to stick with one of my favorite quotes here, "People are stupid!" As long as there are public places with safety rules, we will have idiots who choose not to obey them.

the problem is the GP, they hear about a accident such as this and all of a sudden the story gets told thousands of time and by the end it is turned into the "kid died from getting hit by a train that fell of the tracks when he was waiting in line". There are so many urban legends told from real, but less serious accidents.

actually i think people think that more when u type it... *** This post was edited by the guy on 6/1/2002. ***

The parks can hardly be expected to do anything more. The fences are there. Snipers with tranquilizer guns or guard dogs is about the only thing left.

Well you could always completly cage in the queue line. Making:

A) The ride more frightful (Like being fed to nemesis)

B) Avoid these accidents.

and C) Stop queue jumping from earlier areas to later areas.

ALso a massive cage/gate should be put on the entrance and exit which only opens when the ride starts and shuts once the train has left. Then the second one will open to allow the second train to enter.

thus creating a huge health and saftey problem !

Chow- The first time someone told me that joke, it was the complete opposite. Go Canes! :)

Bake 'em away toys.

The only way to completely avoid accidents or incidents like this one is to make rides so safe and boring that they hold no appeal to anyone, and nobody wants that. To get into the restricted area of Nemesis shows real determination, not to mention stupidity. No doubt it will lead to calls for greater safety at amusemnet parks, but frankly, the biggest change would need to be that people take responsibility for their own actions, and if you are going to get in the way of a moving rollercoaster having got over several fences then you can expect to get hurt.

I feel for the people that were riding at the time!!!

as for the muppet that thought it a good idea to pass the fence!! i would say he was one of the lucky few that got away with it!! his life that is!

Alton Towers should fine him like 5k to set an example to others!! you know for putting the saftey of other guests at risk!!
