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.

Rumor has it the raft caught air and he hit the safety rail and was decapitated

The pictures on twitter are NSFL.
EDIT: Nothing's confirmed. Tweet I saw was an up close picture of what looked like blood on the slide from a firefighter (not even sure if he's local) and he ended up taking it down. There's some conflicting reports about what happened so I won't speculate until we get more clarification. Last edited by Chiefspants; 08-07-2016 at 04:18 PM.. |

Wow.....unreal.
If this is true, ill bet they make major changes to the slide or tear it down. Very sad. Ive never ridden this slide, but have rode several other big Schlitterbahn slides at their other parks. Dont really care much for them because they always hurt my back after the initial drop. Always slams my back down hard somewhere. |

It is a velcro harness, I have ridden the thing 4 times. I loved the ride. Sad for the kid and his family.
