I’m know the family is going through hell right now, but this is a clear-cut nominee for the Darwin Awards.
That’s too harshing my mellow for a Saturday night.
How about some nice “a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HA4lSUhlbw”>Bill Gates retires instead?
hmmmph. No linky when drinky…
Bill Gates Retires, damnit~!
I was about to throw in a Darwin Awards snark as well, but I was beaten to the punch.
Oh well.
Stay out of those restricted areas, kids!
Why don’t we leave Darwin out of it? This is very sad.
Dan, this is not up to your usual standards.
I’m sorry, ahem. I was commenting on the way that I absorbed the information more than anything else.
What, I’ve been on that coaster numerouse times. I can picture the scenario in my head perfectly. This isn’t a place one just strolls into. The “Batman” coaster is a suspended-type coaster, in that the “car” is above the rider’s heads, and they are in a bucket seat with a hard harness to hold them in. Your feet dangle in front of metal bars. At several points, your feet approach about 5 or so feet off the ground. If you jumped not one, but two different fences IIRC, it would put you directly under the track path.
One news story reports that the kid was trying to “jump and grab the feet of riders as the car passed over them”. He must have found those metal bars……
Sorry, but a 17-year old should know better.
Truly sad news in Georgia tonight.

He was a damn good dog.
I’ve gone in many drain pipes in my younger days, but would have never imagined trying to exit from a manhole in a street. That’s just stupid on a moron with a cretin side dish. That the car received a flat tire and the guy got a skull fracture makes me wonder which vehicle lost the collision. The tire can be replaced with a spare, but I guess the skull was just ornamental.
It sucks to get decapitated by roller coasters but it’s a lot painless I guess. I always wonder though if you get a few seconds of huh something’s not right.
I used to wonder about that stuff, but then I had kids, and now if I have the time I try to ponder constructive stuff, like what color ribbon prostate cancer survivors ought to get.
…like what color ribbon prostate cancer survivors ought to get.
Brown or grey. Depends on your perspective.
This is very sad.
The witness heard a loud *pop*
This isnt sad..
Sad is when some innocent person is killed through no fault of their own.
Sad is when some soldier or marine or cop or fireman is killed while doing their duty. Sad is when some hardworking , decent person is struck down by a disease in the prime of their life.
Stupid is just stupid…
…and I gotta buck says a week doesnt pass before there’s a million dollar lawsuit filed that says Six Flags was negligent because it only had 2 plainly marked fences to keep people out.. How’s an average person to know there’s danger when they only made them climb over two fences marked with ‘danger’ signs..?
Six Flaggs should just have a ride designed for suicidally stupid teens, possibly “Decaparama”. It would certainly cut down on the long lines for the rest of the patrons seeking thrills, not kills.
No, I think it’s sad, too. I’m fortunate to have survived those years, hopped up on pot and booze and hormones.
are sad and dumb mutually exclusive?
And don’t forget those crazy ex-girlfriends you survived, Dan. Psychotics, every third one of ’em.
Stories, change their names and tell us stories of those jejune nights with tent-loving and campfire dancing hippy chicks who grew hornier by the toke.
Woodstock? Alaska? Hitchhikers? C’mon!
Well, Hammer Boy, just because YOU didn’t have any girlfriends at that age, psychotic or otherwise, doesn’t mean the rest of us could not have a few, not to mention have some clumsy but satisfying (albeit in the short term) sex with them.
Geez, misery loves company, doesn’t it?
Maybe if you didn’t spend so much time fellating your demigod ObamaLamaDingDong, you could get a little poontang now and then, too…:)
As for the kid and the coaster, we can only hope that he didn’t live long enough to reproduce and pass on his defective genes.
Yeah, it’s mean, but goddam. Not one but two fences with “Danger, Do Not Enter” signs all over the place? How fucking dumb can you get?
And Ouroboros is probably right in that this idiot’s family will sue Six Flags for a few million dollars and probably win.
Manhole Cover Guy happened only a few miles from where I used to live. Even then it was the shallow end of the IQ pool (straight line alert).
#14 — It says in the Bible that Israel was once ruled by judges. Some of the stuff in First Kings is started to come clear, ain’t it?
