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 know they wouldnt let my son ride alone at one in Corpus because they required at least two rider and 185+ pounds. Im guessing that varies by ride though... |

How could SB verify a child's age? It's not like many of them have ID cards, much less a way to carry them with swim trunks.

KCTV's website has removed the age requirement, I guess.

The kids that where in line and watched it... That park is done. Probably all around the country. That is some major lawsuit city. Holy crap!

That's sad. He wasn't very head strong to ride that slide under age. He'll never grow up to be the head of a major corporation like the one that owns that water park
