Companies can’t protect us from everything everywhere has risks: stores, theaters, skydiving, roller coasters Know the danger, plan your exit, and choose wisely. Fun comes with responsibility what would YOU risk for the thrill?

This is an old story. The lady was morbidly obese, which hindered the restraint's effectiveness.

I prefer the older style wooden roller coasters that don’t go upside down.

This is fake. That’s not the Texas giant. It’s a wooden roller coaster.

She was probably too fat to have the bar pull down all the way:

Regulations and inspections something the GOP got rid of.

Liability is assigned to the party that has the greatest ability to evaluate and mitigate risk... to incentivize them to minimize the risk. In the case of a roller coaster, the operator has the ability to properly design and to maintain the system. The user has no ability to evaluate whether the system is properly designed and maintained. If you go skydiving, the parachute manufacturer is liable for design defects, because they know best if the parachute works properly. However, the jumper is responsible for death and injury caused by improper maintenance and usage... because only they can evaluate and control that.

That was 12 years ago.....

Hearing about this this reminds me the carnival in 1998 in Austin Texas when a 14-year-old girl lost her life because one of the safety harness came off that’s the reason why I don’t ride rollercoaster anymore. You guys stay safe out there.

Fun damn well shouldn't have risks. Roller Costers alone are supposed to be built to NOT be Final Destination fatalities. That Texas Six Flags is getting sued up the ass. It sounds like the seat wasnt secure, or worse, it loosened.

This was 12 years ago....There are safeties upon safeties now.

Why bring up an accident from July 2013??

This happened 12 years ago in 2013.

You can have these things. You put your life into the hands of some schmuck you’ve never met, has no credentials for anything that you’re aware of, much less the more pressing little issue of who’s maintaining this thing. I’ve seen those carny people….

Lol. That shouldn't become a lame excuse to overlook basic scrutiny and protocols to ensure safety. You for your life not with your life w your logic people will just spontaneously die from accident every second

If she stayed in Mexico this wouldn't have happened

Shouldnt there be a light that goes on in the control room that tells the operator of the ride that the safety harness on say car 2 is not secure?

Fat people don't need to ride Rollercoasters CHANGE MY MIND

This was from 2013 🤨

i survived (class)action park, where the 14ish year old ride operators were drunk AF, and the funnest ride was a sled with no brakes on a concrete track going down a mountain(alpine slide). this doesn't scare me

@grok details

At a guess major theme park roller coasters are probably safer than driving. Just think about it, one person falls out of a coaster, it's national news. A 5 car pileup on the highway makes local traffic news, not because it's notable, but just to tell people the road is blocked.

@Texas4Trump_24 Life is a risk! Learn to minimize risk while still enjoying life!

Wow so true everyone who rides a roller coaster should know they might die on it and if they do it'd be completely their fault! Definitely shouldn't hold the person who created the ride accountable.

I almost had the same thing happen to me! If it wasn’t for the little safety clip I would have fallen right out. I told the ride operator what happened and he acted like it wasn’t a big deal!

I used to love roller coasters. Now? I’m good

I worked at Six Flags for 5 yrs we had a lot of malfunctions. Thankfully, I was never on shift during any deaths.

She planned her exit. That is the problem.

@DysnomiaDy24169 worst nightmare!

So it's shut down indefinitely..... Is this the Michael Vic indefinitely, where he was playing the next week or the definition?

I always thought people who ride roller coasters are low IQ. Why would you hop into a metal contraption on thin tracks that will spin you all over the place?

That’s “rosa esperanza” nice click bait

Making money comes with responsibility.

This was back in 2013, here’s the news clip 👇🏻

@grok where did this happen?
