Boy decapitated on Kansas waterslide; passengers claim it was clearly unsafe | Fox News
Just... AWFUL. Seriously. Prayers to the family. Big time.
[FONT="]Several passengers who rode the waterslide where a 10-year-old boy was decapitated Sunday said that the ride’s Velcro-like straps would come loose, and that at least one lifeguard claimed they were just for show.
[/FONT][FONT="]It's unclear whether the straps on "Verruckt" - German for "insane" - played any role in the death of Caleb Schwab, a Kansas lawmaker's son. Police and the Schlitterbahn WaterPark have yet to explain exactly how Caleb died on the 168-foot-tall ride, which the park said Tuesday would be closed for the remainder of the season.[/FONT]
