Accident

[Deedee]

I have just read about a 13 year old boy who fell from the triple hurricane coaster in Cypress gardens over the weekend. His friends dared him to stand up before the ride had finished and he fell 12 feet to the ground, he is in intensive care. Why do people do these things?

How awful, I guess people get carried away with 'I'm on holiday and nothing can harm me' feeling. I hope he's alright

 

[KayleeUK]

Thats terrible

Darwin Award anyone...?

Look on the bright side: if anyone is stupid enough to think they can stand up on a coaster at least there won't be any brain damage to worry about...

Everyone knows you can't back down from a dare !

How awful, it is so easy to get carried away when you're having fun, I hope he is OK

 

[Minniespal]

Terrible news.

 

[Laurafoster]

Such a shame!

I hope his friends feel very, very guilty, and that he will be ok

 

[Verity Chambers]

Oh God!! I'm sure his friends feel just awful. How sad.

Not sure if anyone has posted this link before. Might not want to study it if you are going to a theme park soon.
