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'm sure when they hit the E-Stop it shut down the pumps and everything, so thats not ALL blood, and there are black rubber mats in the bottom of the slide in part of that area, so that makes it darker, but there is still quite a bit of blood there.

It doesn't seem like the head would make it down before the raft.

doesn't seem like a kid strapped in a raft would go down a slide, overshoot the second hill and hit the net that far down the slope either, but he did.

Yeah, that happened so everything is possible.

Yeah, and you know the raft with two other passengers still in it isn't going to slow down much.

dunno. from the eyewitness quoted in the articles, he said he stepped forward to assist the boy, but could tell instantly there was nothing he could do.

**mikeyis4dcats.** · 08-12-2016, 10:33 AM

by all accounts, the body was behind the raft. The physics of the kid being ejected, decapitated, the body landing behind the raft and the head striking the passengers are hard to fathom. Maybe someday there will be a computer rendered renenactment we can all watch.

**mikeyis4dcats.** · 08-12-2016, 10:35 AM

what do you suppose the second tarp is for then?

Spoiler!

No it wouldn't..then the body would have to come out and go past the women and raft somehow..I didn't ever see it reported the body went over the women..it might of though

Looking at that picture posted earlier it looks like the smaller tarp is in front of the bigger tarp..I would say the head is under the smaller tarp..so I have no idea what happened with the head and body coming out

Maybe this has already been answered . How fast would the raft be going as it topped the hill?

**RockChalk** · 08-12-2016, 10:42 AM

Does it really matter whether it's the head or body that came down first? All kinds of shit happened at the bottom of the slide starting with the second that little boy hit the net.

I read a rumor that the facial injuries the woman received was from the head striking her, supposedly had a broken jaw....who the hell knows. Goddamn horrifying...

shouldn't have been terribly fast, they had to add the water jet to make it over the hit, before it stopped. maybe 20-30mph?
