While saddening news for anyone dying, it's a good break for Kings Island.. they have had too many problems this year.

Though I wonder if further investigation will show that his aorta dissected from the forces caused by the ride and the type of harness. I have been on a few lie-down type coasters that have caused my chest to hurt (Manta specifically). The strange combo of the G-forces and the harnesses really seem to create a "pulling" sensation...I don't want this to be the case, but I'm just curious...
