I hope the phone's owner will lay for the hospital bill. It's entirely his fault
Nope
@juiceboxer100Ah men. So emotional 😂
@juiceboxer100 uhh yes? I have not once met a smart man.
It's not their fault. It happens.
@@theTruthSeekerishere you fucking idiot. They say to empty your pockets you thick cunt. That can kill people and you say “it happens” your stupidity is on another level.
Cell phone owner should be responsible for the. Medical bills
no free healthcare lul
@@terraminator4379 the US only gives free healthcare to people who don’t work.
@@terraminator4379 This isn't in Canada idiot. Also why did you write the same thing twice?
@@terraminator4379 If it was in a place where there isn't, the owner should be, lol.
@@corvus5630 yes
As a ride operator, it hurts having to see people lacking common sense, ignoring all rules, and pulling their phone during the ride. If you are someone you know pulls their phone out during a ride, remember that incidents like this have your number written on it.
Yes, same man.
@juiceboxer100 could've. But people do pull their phones out during rides and this accident is exactly why not to do that. If it falls out of your hand or your pocket doesn't matter. What matters is that when it falls it can be deadly.
@@littleloner1159exactly and they’re still at fault for not listening to the rules and leaving it in their most likely loser pocket
@juiceboxer100 No cell phones means no cell phones. You don't have it in your pocket cuz it could come out of your pocket and kill someone
Exactly.
As a ride operator, I find ot fascinating how many guests don't even notice signs. They often times walk right past 3 signs pointing in the direction of the exit and try to exit out a gate that's labeled "authorized personnel only"
This is why I always wear pockets with zippers to theme parks. I don’t want to accidentally Jill someone just cause my phone fell out of my pocket
A friend of mine had his phone fall out of his zipper pocket on vortex at thorpe park, luckily it just landed on a footer
Everyone just needs a designated phone holder in their group. Someone who doesn’t like to go on rides, but likes to hang out at parks
What if you can't find such a person?
All parks and fairs should provide free lockers.
If you don't have a person Ive found that at least for the parks I've been to you can usually ask the operator to watch your bag for you
@@gtickno2946 this wouldn't work for larger parks and I could see this being discouraged due to the chance of the employee being blamed for theft and/or damage.
@@ElectriKong- With convenient placement, not on the other side on the side where you have to step over the ride or step over someone already sitting in the ride to get to it, and park policy stating not responsible for _stolen_ property needs to be addressed, if security is an issue, people sure as hell don't want to lose their most expensive daily carry, so if there's no lockers, like if it's just a shelf or a paid locker, they're probably going to try to keep it on their person. Rides that have built in phone pouches are also a great solution to the issue.
I'm normally this person, I have crippling anxiety that physically keeps me from going on almost all rides and all my friends understand this so they buy me food in exchange for holding their belongings throughout their trip. win-win!
Kinda reminds me of the time my sister's phone fell out of her pocket when she was on the Ring of Fire ride at the local fair we always go to. Knowing it could've ended way worse kinda scares me. I hope the person who got hit is ok and is recovering/has recovered well.
Oh boy that could've ended real bad.
Um... it did?
honestly the person who got injured should either press charges for reckless ignorance or sue for the medical damages
This unfortunately happened to me. Thank God my phone did not hit anyone! I was about 16 with my now husband and we went on this EXACT ride. I asked the male worker if I need to leave my phone and wallet, and he said exactly "No, why would you?".
I felt it fly out of my back jean pocket and saw it shatter on the ground.
This could have been caused by some underpaid, under trained carnival worker. Or, the guy was just dumb and tried to pull it out 🤷♀️
Phone's owner should be held liable.
I have a phone pouch I tuck in or a Fanny pack just make sure it's closed 😅
The ride has nothing to do with this.
Exactly! People should know better and should have enough common sense to know that when you go upsidedown, stuff can fall out your pockets 🤦🤦
Yeah unless they start frisking passengers there's nothing you can do.
@@SamAndFam311exactly like to ppl not know how gravity works anymore🙄
Most people have no common sense, are too stubborn and hard headed. Even with signs, they still have to be told...no phones!
Wow, Oklahoma has a Tarif Reduit of 3€50 now! So cosmopolitan!
This is the best stock footage you could find?
?
As someone working at a SoCal park I have to deal with people taking their phones out all the time. I wish they would live in the moment and for once stop trying to get instant gratification on social media.
They need to either get those glasses with cameras built on or use GoPros strapped on. It’s ridiculous and many phones are too skinny to have proper grips to even feel secure. They also need to install medal detectors at rides like Universal did
at this years fair in germany i saw someones key fly out of a thrill ride called blackhole
The only ride i ever seen truly enforce no cell phones is Steel Vengeance at cedar point; they literally make you walk thru a metal detector.
The cell phone owner should pay that person's medical bills. After all, it was their phone and their cell number is on it..
I work at an attraction, and I gotta tell ya, people miss signs all the time. 😅
THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T BRING PHONES ON RIDES
And the owner of the phone needs to be criminally charged. He or she almost killed a 18 yo, otherwise people will continue to disregard basic and logic common sense and safety. People don't learn unless it hurts them.
There's soooooo many pov videos that it's hard to believe that everyone is getting permission before filming 🎥
this is why you do not bring phones in your pocket on rides **UNLESS** you have zipper pockets that can fully shut
This is why there is a rule against loose articles on these rides
Yep lived in Belmar,NJ never ever saw a storm like this in my 54 years in Jersey.
I will never understand why people feel like they need to film their ride experience. You paid how much to either get in the park or buy ride passes for a literal 90sec ride … ENJOY IT.
It wasnt necessarily being used, it could easily have slipped put of a pocket too 🙂
That's one of the only rides I was almost top scared to ride at my local fair. Just don't trust stuff that gets thrown up in a days time lol and that one looks really high in person.
Yeah but this has NOTHING to do with the ride
I’d sue that man so hard get all my medical bills paid and prove their incompetent actions have consequences
I would bet money they were trying to film on the ride
Is it sad I thought he was bout to say “show operator josh macaroni”
I saw a phone fly off Serengeti Flyer at Busch Gardens Tampa. Hit the tarps above the queue and fell. The phone survived
You wouldn't expect people to be that stupid to keep a phone on a ride like that. But I guess I underestimate human stupidity.
This is a fairly common occurrence. When I was waiting in line for a Booster Pendulum ride and someone's phone went flying off. Luckily it didn't actually hit anyone, because that thing was going super fast.
This is the reason why you leave loose items on the ground
Ban this person responsible from the fairgrounds, get them paying the hospital bill and improve the safety!!
Thankfully never had objects hit me from riders
This is why Universal makes people go through medal detectors before going on rollercoasters. People are too selfish to secure their stuff or they misjudge the security of their pockets
Thinking people will listen. Good one.
Why,WHY,WHY
That’s what I always secure my 📱 in my cargo pants 👖
They need to put a net over the line.
I remember this happening I live in Tulsa
People can’t live without their stupid phones
Hi!! I was there i think the day before it happened? Me and my friend went on some of the rides, not that ride specifically, pendulum rides scare me lol
They really didnt have a strict cell phone policy, i had my cellphone secure in my pocket and never went on any inverting/looping rides, but if i did then i wouldve left my phone next to the operator because like... what did they think would happen lol, that gravity would just turn off or smthn??
I’m sad the girl didn’t get to ride it
That caught me off guard
the speed is no joke.
in canada this ride is shares the same name with few other rides. "Fireball"
Did the sign mean no phones on the ride full stop (even within zipped pockets)?
Used to be a clear box of phones at the entrance to Diamondback at King's Island as a warning to guests....don't have you fucking phone out on a ride.
What are people supposed to do with their phones? So they have a locker at the base of the ride or will the ride attendant hold them if someone doesn’t have a non-riding friend?
All parks should provide secure storage of loose articles, for free.
At least here you can put your valuable stuff into the Ticket booth.
As a ride attendant, your personal property is not my responsibility or the responsibility of the park.
Please be more considerate or ppls lives no matter what do not bring your phone on the ride. My answer is to put it in a safe area if your alone or figure it out. “What are ppl supposed to do” reading the hecking sign
My iPhone 6S dropped from my pocket straight to the pavement from a ride pretty much that height. By some miracle it dropped to the restricted area and had no scuffs or cracks
Next time, please keep your phone on the area below where it says to keep them, you could’ve seriously injured someone
@@Wolf_Tycoons true!
@@Wolf_Tycoonsfellow coaster enthusiast here. You are a certified gigachad and also, @MarkusAT glad you learned from ur mistakes.
phones causing problems everywhere
Its not a ride issue its a ride operator mistake not telling the customer to leave their mobile phones and the safety envelope is not safe, should adjust more the fence.
Why did the people just get the cellphone?!? They were just busy recording the cellphone falling!!!!
No one expects this stuff to happen
I hope whoever's phone it was gets tried for attempted murder. Prayers for the struck guest but I'm glad their phone isn't okay.
Murder is intentional and premeditated, homicide is intentional but not premeditated. The term your looking for is negligent manslaughter but since that didn't happen and she survived, you'd probably get something like "Unintentional Tort" which just means you were negligent and your actions caused injury. That's not even technically a crime.
Omg attempted murder dude ur a snowflake
Resorting to calling someone a snowflake is literally saying "please don't take me seriously."
However I will still take u seriously anyway cuz I'm not fully convinced that I even really truly meant that, just something I might think in the heat of the moment. I do wish there could be examples made but calling it attempted murder is probably a bit harsh. I'm sorry.
I use to work for Wade shows under Mark.
You just can't expect Americans to behave respectfully and responsibly
Maybe if the person with the phone didn’t have it on them then maybe it wouldn’t have happened
Sounds familiar
Why would they close the ride for inspection because of this? The ride didn't do anything, the idiot woth their phone did.
Literally shows footage of someone on their phone filming on the ride
Could be a strapped camera, those are a lot safer when it comes to rides
Not the rides fault. Must be a much more stricter phone rules.
is this the video you were saying is the longest what really happened?
No, that one's still in the works
@@CoasterCollege I thought maybe you were trolling us. Lol
I'm wondering what else people want the fair/ride to do? Short of frisking everyone coming on the ride, how the hell are people supposed to stop others bringing their phones on the ride?
This is why I usually have my dad carry my stuff when I go on rides, because there's a high chance they will fall out of my pocket and i wanna record myself riding these rides and make a POV but I'm too scared too
don't make a POV unless you have a bodycam or something similar that attaches to you. if you're just holding it, even if you think your grip is tight enough, that's how you end up like situations like the one in this video
@@friendlyporkchop yes that's what I'm thinking, maybe when the fair comes around I'll buy one of those because I've always wanted to do that sort of thing
@@MelissaUwU777 always make sure that it is allowed, or that you have permission, to take POVs with a gopro (or similar device) at the park or fair you plan on doing it.
@@ElectriKong- alright
@@MelissaUwU777 if you do that ask for permission
You keep showing two different rides. Mostly Inversion360. It magically changes color and name.
Completely the phone owners fault. Not the ride operator at all. If you are gonna ride any kind of thrill ride you should have a back or bag of some kind keep your stuff in it and leave it on the deck of the ride. You can’t expect the operators to be frisking people to see if they have loose items that might fall out of their pockets. I can’t even imagine the wait times.
Thoosies love to get on their hi-horse when it comes to cell phones on rides. Never do I hear them complain about the business making a profit off packing rides and not providing lockers with that profit.
Lololol...fair goers dont read signage. They usually shut their brains off as soon as they enter the gate...why else do you think we can ring em up for hundereds of dollars for a big ass teddy bear xD
I'm sorry but all liability should be on the rider. What are you suppose to pat down people. How is this any different than. If a Boulder I was carrying with my tail gate open flew out and killed the driver behind me. It's not the cars fault, it's not the streets fault, it's my fault.
Not the parks fault
iPhone 13 taking pictures and videos!
hopefully an apple iphone. less of them in the world would be great!
Moral of the story, the rider or parents is responsible
How do you blame the PARENTS???
@@MarloAnn If the phone owner was a kid, the parents are responsible of making sure the kid follows the rules.
Here's a thought, America:
Stop buying phones too damn big and fragile for your fucking pockets. Eh? Just think about it. You don't have to make a decision right now.
How does this apply to just America and what role does the size and fragility play?
Any phone of any size is not allowed on rides like these, because your pockets aren't magical things.
You're trying to be super smart and whitty while typing on your big fragile phone
But in reality you could be exactly the kind of person to take your phone on a ride like this because the actual issue went right over your head.
@@littleloner1159👏👏👏
I would have been like “wasn’t my phone…”and go to store next day
Now that's a quick phone call 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
