Child dies at Schlitterbahn in KCK
This is horrifying. Supposed to be a press conference soon with more details. Rumors seem to indicate it happened on the Verrukt, the world's tallest waterslide.

I almost died of nausea on one of those at Universal Studios Hollywood last winter.

Ultimately the park should be checking the straps before each ride, but it would be tough if you had one, or knew of an issue with that strap, but didn't say anything.

There are eyewitness accounts all over the Internet. Of course the local news isn't going to get into the gory details.

ran across this on a theme park forum this morning. Rubber strips on the slide were removed at some point. This probably lead to increased speed, as was noted by mthe same poster comparing 2 of his videotaped rides from different seasons.

A guy got decapitated on Fire in the Hole at Silver Dollar City years ago. I thought this was an urban legend, so I asked someone in the know. As in someone who knows the Herschends. It really happened.
