| Kentucky accident  | | | |  [[[[[[A theme park in America, the Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, had a severe accident a few days ago, when a 13 year old girl had her legs sliced off during a ride (Superman Tower of Power). The machine is supposed to fall from a high altitude and stop close to the ground in a few seconds... In this accident, one of the machine's steel string (very
sharp and thick) was detached just as the machine rose up to the highest point and when the machine fell to approach the ground, the girl's legs were sliced off by the sharp wire of iron , both of her legs were cut off instantly. Some witnesses said that "at first i
heard someone screaming and crying as the machine went down, i thought
that they were screaming to the excitement"]]]]]]
this was what i found on a news article this morning...pretty scary huh?
i would have expected these sort of things would not happen in the US since it is so advanced...
i feel so sorry for the young girl...she is only 13 years old and her life is ruined...im not saying she cant have a good life without legs...but its sad how these things happen

| |  This is a perfect example of you should take pride in your work.
There are people who are paid to check the rides before the park opens. It is too often that I see 3 or more of these employees in theme parks standing in a circle talking.
They should be doing their job.

| | i agree very much with you, i have seen people like that too... how irresponsible.
but also, it is very hard to take pride in your job since it is so boring...
it is just too repetitive that you just want to think "as if anything would happen" attitude and that is when accidents happen | | | | | | | Got into an accident? We'll get you back on the road! Call 310.575.0700 Lifetime Guarantee. www.CrownCoachworks.com | add comment | | | |

| |  Actually the girl's feet were cut off at the ankles by the broken steel cable during the free fall portion. The girl's right foot was reattached but her left leg was amputated below the knee because of the broken femur and other damage too severe. This is a really scary experience. I still feel really scared for the young girl and her family. Now the family has a lawsuit against the park. The SFKK park was fined a thousand dollars for failing to properly maintain the ride to ensure safety. That is exactly why there oughtta be tough and strict federal regulations of all amusement rides. According to the girl who spoke to the media while she and her family was in Washington, DC.
