Shocking news of a teenager in Georgia who had gone to Six Flags to enjoy the rides was stuck by a roller coaster and decapitated. The teen jumped the electrified fence to hop into a restricted area and was stuck by an oncoming roller coaster.
As to why the teen jumped the fence, no definite answers are available. Some say he was trying to retrieve something he lost, while others are saying he wanted to touch the roller coaster.
Those who were on the roller coaster were not injurned when the incident happened.
Although I’d like to wait before the results of the investigation are released but it should be mandatory (or maybe recommended practice) to have children and teens accompanied by adults at all times inside such themes and entertainment places.
Quite an unfortunate accident.
the kid was 17. thats almost an adult by government standards.
It is not fair to say “all kids should be supervised” how about all stupid kids should be supervised. My children would not dare do something so ignorant, thats because they know right from wrong. I don’t have to hold their hand everywhere. It’s just not fair to kids who do the right thing, which is 98% of kids these days, to have to suffer “constant supervision” because of an accident perpetrated by a lack of respect for rules. You know what becomes of children heavily swarmed over with supervision by their parents as you say is needed? They are the first ones to be victimized by the world because they have no preparation or “know how” to deal with themselves once mommy and daddy are gone. The only people who need “supervision” are the ones trying to take kids rights away from being kids. Dont get me worng, this kid in my opinion got what he deserved. Fences that say stay out mean what they say.
Add to that, it was a church group outing.
The almost-adult teen had it coming. If not this, his stupidity would have ensured he would have been decimated some other way.
