How terrible...

There are no words.

 

[IrishCowboy]

Very sad...

 

[CRSNDSNY]

That's just terrible. How the heck does that happen, though??!!

 

[Dianatlol]

It does make you wonder how it happens...

It does make you wonder how it happens...

This is very sad. My first thought of how it happened is teenagers goofing around.

 

[Waltworshiper]

I wonder if any of the cameras on the ship picked up anything?

My guess would be that it happens when people climb on the rails at the edge of the deck. I can't see another way it would happen, but maybe I'm wrong.

That is such a tragedy. My thoughts and prayers go out to that family.

Remember the thread from a couple of weeks ago with the YouTube video of the obnoxious teens on the Magic?

THAT'S how this stuff gets started.

Rules and supervision are important.

My heart goes out to his family - whom I'm sure never imagined their trip would turn out like this.

How very sad for this family. I wish our teenagers would realize they are not invincible. Too many lost lives recently.

That is so sad.

Sad....but how it happened? 35 kids from his school on the ship were goofing around. You CAN'T fall off a ship if your feet are planted in a place where they are supposed to be. Now, if you climb on a railing, etc. all bets are off. Yes, there was an idiot teen who jumped off the Magic from deck 4 while she was in port--and the captain was NOT amused.

Teens feel they are invincible. They will never be the one in the car accident, the one who gets pregnant, the one who falls overboard. It just can't happen to them.

Carnival has cameras EVERYWHERE; I am sure that there is some footage but they would not be likely to release it.

ITA!

I was an 'invincible' teen that didn't need to wear a seat belt...until I was in a bad accident and almost died. Luckily, I had a second chance to learn from it. I really feel for the parents, though, b/c they were on board the ship. I know they must be feeling really, really guilty.

So sad for the family, this is just awful, and very difficult to understand how these things happen.

 

[ShellyLynn3630]

Does this happen mostly on the Carnival line or does it vary? I don't think that Disney lets 18-year-olds drink on their line do they, or what about the other lines, do they let legal adults, not yet 21 drink? I just wonder if heavy comsumption of alcohol has any thing to do with any of these tragedies that have happened in the past few years?

Hi,

I just want to say that it truly warms my heart to read threads like these. Perhaps I'm hardened emotionally from all the message boards that I've visited, but when I saw this thread title and clicked the link I half-expected to see people bashing Carnival's safety and saying things like "oh, well... this wouldn't have happened on a disney cruise." instead, you guys are genuinely concerned about the victim and his family.

DisBoards has to be one of the classiest, nicest communities on the web!
