Good video; very informative. Please stay seated on roller coasters. Seriously. Don’t stand up.

[geymantis]

to clarify, , only 3 people died that day at kings island, the man who first fell into the pond lived, which is actually a lot more sad. imagine waking up and finding out two people died to try and save you

[FynnFolf]

Litterly 80% of these are partially / entirley the guests fault..

For the first time in my life I was to heavy to ride most theme rides. Either the seatbelt wouldn’t lock or the lap bar wouldn’t lock. I would never take any of those rides knowing I wasn’t completely secure. It’s definitely not worth your life. It sucks but extreme theme park rides cannot accommodate really heavy people. It should encourage all of us who are to heavy to lose weight so we can ride these rides again sometime.

4 people didn't die at Kings Island on Black Sunday. The first guy entering survived. 2 people died in the pond, 1 lady died falling from Flight Commander.

When they keep bringing up six flags magic mountain 👁👄👁 and you are going there tomorrow

[jensor]

Is it just me, or does she sounds too happy to be reporting on this topic?😅

Another ride accident I know is the smiler, the smiler at Alton Towers collided with an empty test car that was sitting on the track, the staff overrode the safety message and they released the next car full of passengers, injuring all passengers but 2 girls in the front got their legs amputated, 9 months later the ride reopens.

People don’t realize how rare it is for a ride to malfunction in some form. It takes more than a year to plan, construct, and get approval for these projects. Your chances of getting killed or even slightly harmed are maybe like 0.0001%.

[andrewTateOhio]

The scariest thing is you sound happy while talking about it

[MidnightSonnet]

I feel like the narrator is trying to sell me the latest handy dandy gadget while also telling me that there's more if I act now

[devynbyars]

I like how the channel is called “ultimate fact” when a lot of details are NOT fact. Good grief

[irisschannel]

Not me wondering why anyone would try to get their hat when there's a moving coaster

[mrsr]

Thank you for the stories. I hadn’t heard a lot yet

[rjsalgado]

Very informative video and what have you learned most? That's right, many of these accidents could have been prevented if people didn't ignore warning signs. i.e. Don't go into restricted areas, remain seated until the ride is over and this ride may not be suitable if you have health conditions... Just sayin, staff negligence plays it' s part, but a majority falls on the visitor.

[inthelaunch]

Just a heads up to everyone watching this, this lady don’t know what she talking about and park incidents are very, VERY rare. Just think about this, you are more likely to die in the car on the way to the park itself than in the park.

[sarahcotterswank]

Boy, 2007 was a tough year for amusement park guests 😳

[ezekielsaroonsdusk]

your videos are making keep up the good work

I was about 11 when I went on the cyclone and the operators forgot to lock myself and another guy in. We were in the first two rows and reached a third of the way up the hill when we panicked, "we're not locked in" we raised and lowered the lap bar repeatedly hoping they'd understand and luckily they did. They stopped the ride walked up the hill, locked us in manually then we were safely on our way. Back then the cyclone had manual locks for every two cars. Operators worked their way from the back to the front unfortunately for me and another guy they didn't make it to the front of the car before take off. We yelled and yelled until the operators answered our pleas. They were able to stop the ride before the drop once they understood what we were saying.

Kaytlin actually had both her feet severed from the cable. Doctors were able to reattach her right foot, but they had to amputate her left leg right below her knee.
