It's not. No way the head came down first. Pure imagination. *also not a bad person*

I think the netting makes all sorts of scenarios possible.

Yeah, the body could have flipped after impact.

The ladies in the raft were in the middle and rear seats and were treated for facial injuries. It seems obvious that either the body or head came back and struck them. Given that, who knows what could have been directed where after hitting their faces.

My 11 yr old daughter is at WOF and OOF with her friend this weekend. With everything that has happened lately I'm a nervous wreck.

What if I told you she was hundreds more times likely to have something bad happen to her on the drive home than actually at the parks? Would that make you feel better?

Also millions of times more likely to just have a fun time with no bad stuff

I was on the interstate yesterday and saw a ways ahead that there was a yard sign like this laying in the road a ways ahead.

Car in front of me and a lane to my left runs it over, shooting it behind the car and airborne right at me, cow in twister style. Good thing I had my windshield up or I'd have been beheaded too.

Really light kid in the front seat, two bigger ladies in the back sounds like it was a contributing factor to this.... That's gotta be hard to swallow for the ladies.

Police said 73-pound Caleb Schwab sat in the front seat of the raft, while a woman weighing 197 pounds and another woman weighing 275 pounds occupied the next two seats, respectively.

They better have tested it 100 times with a 500 lb person in the back and a 30 lb person in the front.

This thing wasn't engineered. No safety factor and countless uncontrolled variables. This backyard bubbatecture abomination needs to burned to the ground immediately and schlitterbahn needs to be sued into joyland.

Also the state agency that required the net with rigid steel supports needs to be brownbacked tomorrow.

Trim · « **Reply #289 on:** August 17, 2016, 12:37:35 AM »

I'm starting to think the 2 women are as much to blame as anyone.

I think KCK officials required that.
