It's not embarrassing to lose a child from a visit to a theme park .... It's bloody tragic !!

[jessicamarentes]

I think a better word than embarrassing would’ve been devastating to the parents who took the child to the theme park who tragically died! It’s not an embarrassment their child died it’s devastating! I think the word embarrassing a little insensitive to the family

The woman dying of drinking water is made worse by the fact that many listeners (I was one being a critical care nurse) were calling in during the contest warning them of water intoxication. It happened in Sacramento, CA

did you just say it must be embarrassing to have a kid die, , it is not embarrassing it is HEARTBREAKING, homey you have some emotions in turmoil in that brain of yours

[zdiac]

I have extreme claustrophobia, so the ones about getting stuck in caves and dinosaurs are terrifying to me!

Actually, a nurse called into the radio station and warned the two radio hosts of the Water Intoxication and that's why they asked "Is anyone dying back there?". Sadly, the radio nor the hosts were not prosecuted.

3:21 The guy in the dinosaur statue was *INSIDE* the statue. There was a panel in the dino's belly giving access. He then dropped his phone inside the dinosaur and it slid down towards the leg and fell to the floor. The man then tried retrieving his phone, head first, and proceeded to get stuck. With his arms pinned and upside down he didn't last very long. Blood rushed to his head exponentially speeding up the process of falling unconscious. He then had a heart attack and died.

He was found by a child, days later. The kid was eager to play on the dinosaur and, through a crack in the dino's leg the kid saw that a person was in there so he told his father who immediately called emergency services. The Dino has since been moved to an area where the public cannot access it. 👍

It must be “embarrassing” to take your kids to an amusement park only to have one die and not come home… Probably not embarrassing, nope not embarrassing.

The boy that died from drowning shouldn't have been called "the dumbest ways to die"!!! That was an accident way out of his control. You should be ashamed calling that a dumb way to die!!

Humans never cease to amaze me at the lengths they will go to do something so stupid, even if it kills them

[christopherhughes]

When that girl saw her friend get fall. She was probably as shocked as she was that she was actually witnessing that!! Scarred for life.

I feel bad for the mother who was trying to win a wii for her kids

The Adventureland park thing.

I live 10 miles away. The worker died on the ride because when the ride stops, it only stays stopped for a few seconds, then the ride/raft jerks forward about a foot or so. When I was kid, the workers always had you staying sitting until the jerk happened. For over two decades it’s done that. The worker was helping people off and either didn’t know about the last minute jerk or forgot. When the ride jerked, that’s why he fell. I always thought the jerk at the end was normal. The workers made it seem normal. Two deaths later, I’m thinking maybe it shouldn’t do that. But I know nothing about that kinda stuff.

Didn’t get that far in the video yet, but Adventureland was open the very next day and went on like nothing happened. It enraged a lot of people in town. I’ve never met the owners of Adventureland park in Altoona. I lived in a few towns surrounding Altoona. If you ask anyone in any surrounding town about the owners of Adventureland, you will never hear anything good. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories from people who at one time knew the owners, were friends, and had to deal with them in any way. I hear they’re the stuck up rich snobby type who only care about themselves. And aren’t afraid to let people they feel is lesser than them know it in the brutalist way. I heard they’ve had concerns brought to them and they don’t do anything or even pretend to care. I haven’t heard one good thing about them.

The shape of the rides show it. Yes they added a lot in the past 10 years. But the older rides are still there and run frighteningly. The Tornado i thought was the worst one. I honestly thought it would’ve been the Tornado roller coaster ride, not the Raging River. Because I was going there throughout my 36 year life. The Tornado and other rides are older than me. The condition is obvious to someone like me. And it’s made of wood, probably the same wood it was built with.

The tornado use to run smooth and steady. Now it shakes like it’s gonna fall apart and you can’t stop your head from banging side to side. The raging River, the ride the accident happened. Going through on the raft, there’s no control, the timing between rafts being sent out suck. Depending on the rapids and which ones you hit, it either slows you down or speeds you up. Due to bad timing your rafts have over a 50/50 chance of hitting the raft in front of you, or the raft behind you hitting you. Then when the ride ends. The raft needs to go on a conveyer belt from the water. The line of rafts leading to that is usually about 5 or more deep in a line in the water just waiting to reach the conveyer belt. Which means the only way your raft is gonna stop is by crashing into the raft in front of you hard. I’m guessing all rides like the raging river are like that. But I hated that ride because of that. That ride scared me, I always thought I was gonna get hurt, thrown off it, or it would tip. The rapids they make are so forceful by the opening so the rest of the calmer water moves faster. If you’ve been on the raging river at Adventureland, then you’d know. You gotta lean with the raft a certain to counteract it from tipping. The weight of the raft can’t withstand hitting where the rapids are being created at the side of the wall.

Sorry for the rant. But I’ve hated those rides for a long time. Plus I think Adventureland is a death trap. I will say this. I did move to St Louis for a time. We went to 6 flags there. That place was fun and felt safe. After moving back to Iowa. I went to Adventureland a few times after moving back. Now I refuse to go.

There’s the guy who worked at a tuna fish canning plant and fell into the pressure cooker. They knew he was in there but they had to wait for the pressure cooker to cycle before they could open it and remove his body. What a way to go...

[candybjr]

Umm, I wouldn't say it would be "embarrassing" to take your kids to an amusement park and one of them dies. 🙄 More like horrifying my guy. 😬
*You used a poor choice of words on that story ~ IMO

[chrisreid]

85% of young populated would go for that phone themselves rather than seeking help

[seandelap]

You clearly dont know what embarrassing means.

Extreme Selfies: proof that natural selection is real.

Number 9. I would think "embarrassment" was the very furthest feeling for the parents of that poor kid.
