Woman dies after riding Marine World tea cup ride

Posted | Contributed by Brian Grapes

A woman riding the Monkey Business tea cup-style ride at Six Flags Maring World died two days later at a hospital due to bleeding in the brain. CalOSHA says that the link between ride motion needs to be researched.

Everyone has their limits, sometimes it may take another person to point them out. Such as, "is this ride to intense". My partner who was severly injured in a car accident several years ago wanted to ride Dr. Deans Scream Machine, and I flat out told him "NO", after I got off of it, and was shaking. He saw that everyone else was haveing a good time, so he wanted to give it a try. I even had doubts about him riding the Twist and Shout(wild mouse)coaster, he survived the ride, and I will no longer ask him to ride anything he does not feel like he can not handle (he hurt for 2 days after that). There is a chance anyone of us could die on a ride at the park(s), or on the way to a park. If you live live in Arkansas you know how the backroads(highways) are. I don't think a doctors exam, or anything, could have prevented this from happening, it just happened. I have migrane headaches, and this will not stop me from riding coasters, or trains, my other passion. If I were to die, everyone I know would say I was doing what I wanted to do. My sympathy does go out to the families of ANYONE hurt at a park.

Robocoaster: I agree, it might not have been found even with checkups, and i do agree, even if she had normal checkups, this could've gone undetected, and i do not know if she went regularly or not, but in the long run, if she hadn't died, i'm pretty sure it would be discovered through a checkup.

"Thank you for challenging the Raging Bull. We hope you enjoy the rest of you're day, here at Six Flags Great America."
hey lets just put up huge banners above the entrances to rides saying "ride at your own risk".
oh wait that would scare people away.
