Oakwood has reopened Hydro, its Intamin giant flume ride, with new restraints that the owner describes as "fool proof." The ride has been closed since April of last year when 16-year-old Hayley Williams came out of the boat and fell to her death. To date, no explanation has been offered as to how she fell out of the boat.

Wow, I love the media. It has been upgraded from 'thrill ride' to 'death ride' I suppose.
Given the photos that people have linked to in past discussions, if she was sitting at the end of the row I can see how she got out. Whether that was her intention or it was accidental we'll probably never know.
I guess this one seems the most real to me because of her age. I coach girls her age and every day I see the amazing potential of the kids. To see one of them cheated out of their fair shot at life is very sad to me. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
