Like Waterslides? What About This One?

Rode the king da ka once bruh, dat front seat gforce will wreck you if you dont prepare ya self. Joint is a steel sling shot. The 10 year olds head technically didnt get cut off but his skull got detached from his spinal cord which is still instant death and pretty gruesome. It's a shame the kid died like that but the parents are definitely bout to cash out
 
Man I'd be down.

Matter fact bump this thread in 1 year and I'll prolly have ridden it.

I came in here to ask physics and engineering folks how this is even remotely safe. I've gotten badly injured in a water slide falling out of the raft when I lost hand grip control. so you're never going to catch me in one of these.

I'd jump out of planes and be the first to get on the scariest coasters but water slides are my kryptonite...nope.

Just so you guys know, people sit in a raft with actual seats to go down this slide.  Its not like a typical slide on your back style water slide.

You sit in this:

.....which makes the slide FAAAAAAAR less scary than you guys are making it seem.  Its more like a drop on a rollercoaster than a standard waterslide.

What you mean bruh, A kid got decapitated from this ride. How are people making it seem more scary than it is?
 
Decapitated though :x :x :x :x RIP to the little fella that's a ****** up way to leave this world.

I remember when this thread popped up a few years ago, there is no way in hell that I would ever consider going on it, and that is before that poor kid died. I'm looking at pics of it now and it just looks incredibly unsafe

Yeah he left way ahead of his time.smh
 
Had it not been for the decapitation, I would've rode it.

But now also hearing they haven't had a safety inspection since 2012

That video makes the drop seem a lot steeper than it really is. And the ramp in the middle seems pretty long and more of a way to slow you down for the end of the ride if anything. Doesnt look too bad from the side view. Id go on it for sure.

Nah, b.

That pic is exactly the point you're trying to make.

That **** looks sweet in that picture, and then you really go, and it actually looks how it does in the video.

Then ****** looking at each other at the top like "it didn't look this bad in the picture tho"
 
Just pray before hand. If God has it in his plans for you to fly off, that is what will happen. No need to be scared

Care to explain?

This tragedy was avoidable, but it's laughable to believe prayer beforehand would have changed anything.

Having followed the story pretty closely from the time it broke the park's staff is clearly negligent and the ride has a history of safety issues. I personally wouldn't ride it or allow anyone in my care to do so.

Nonetheless, this was a horrific accident and we can only hope the child didn't suffer.

I read somewhere that the kid wasn't tall enough and didn't meet the weight requirement. Not sure how true that is though

I read something like you gotta at least be 14 years old to ride.. and the combine weight of the 3 passengers need to be like 450-550 or some ish.

Kid got decapitated tho :x :x :x  RIP to the young man.. shouldn't eem have been able to get on at 10 :smh:  failure on the staffs part

There was initially a height and weight requirement but they got rid of the height one i believe.

The weight of 3, maybe 4, assengers has to equal that 400-550 threshold but obviously they ignored the scales before allowing them on. On the slide woth the kid were 2 women, so unless they were pushing-over 200lbs their raft didnt meet the requirement which im guessing is why they went airborne so much that he was able to fly out the seat and hit his neck on the railing of the net.

Whered you read that? Everything ive seen says that after it was built that had to partially tear it down in 2014 to rebuild because it was too fast and rafts were flying off






My take on the whole thing was ..

1. The restraint system was already flawed (velcro)
2. They didnt meet the weight requirement
3. It was "Elected Officials Day" at the park, who knows if that played a part in letting a little kid on
4. Workers were negligent
5. Several people (afterwards, maybe 1 reported it) stated how their restraints werent staying fastened.


One person that was interviewd said they noticed their own restraint being faulty but rode the slide several times that day
 
Man I just watched some of vids of that Kingda Ka ride talked about on the last page.
