Answer 1

It is very very sad. I am deeply sorry for his parents. I can not imagine how sad his parents are. This acts as a lesson to everybody that if you disobey the guide lines such as going into restricted areas, for any reason it is very very dangerous and you possibly could get hurt. Since not all the details (there is a debate over if he was trying to pull a "prank" pulling on the legs of a passenger of the ride, or if he was trying to retrieve his hat) I can't really judge. But if you every go to a Six Flags park and lose something go to the nearest guest relations, tell them what ride it was on and the specifics, then AFTER HOURS they will retrieve the item FOR YOU. You should never try to do this your self.

Answer 2

And this happened in Georgia, the kid was after a hat. Hey, I think my life might be worth a little more to me than taking a chance of getting my Shat splashed or my head lopped off my shoulders.

He was breaking the law, climbed over two fences which were clearly marked, "Hazardous/Dangerous" and I'll bet his family is going to want to sue Six Flags over Georgia for their son's stupidity.

Answer 3

I will agree with you all about his decision being poor. People don't think when they act. I've seen kids time and time again almost fall of Its A Small World at Disney. Its a game to them. Its a tragedy...what a way to die.

Answer 4

Musta realllly like the hat.

Answer 5

guess he'll never be head of a major corporation.

Answer 6

You and me both

Answer 7

it's a no-brainer, just don't trespass into restricted areas!

Answer 8

Wow... I really "lost my head" when I read that.

Not to self:Do not be the next teenager beheaded by a rollercoaster.

Sadly this actually sounds like something I would do... God I must be an idiot too.

Answer 9

I just love when the gene pool gets a little less shallow.

Answer 10

And the punchline is..................?

Answer 11

d**n, that's gotta suck.

Answer 12

People are idiots. Bet he'll feel that in the morning...

Answer 13

Has my vote for a Darwin award

Answer 14

His life is worth more than a hat or any possession for that matter. I do not know about Darwin and the survival of the fittest but I do believe that it could fit under the survival of the intelligent."

Answer 15

I live in Georgia and we visit Six Flags every year. It is very sad for the family. There are restricted areas for a reason. Some pay attention and others don't. Please keep the family in your prayers.

NOTE: Sarcastic remarks are very inappropriate. Someone has died, for whatever reason, and people should be more sympathetic.
