For me this concept is simple: don't enter the restricted areas of a working giant steel machine that has a moving part going at 110km/h. Just don't put yourself in the middle of the road and you won't get ran over
Ya, I know someone who did something dumb on top of a train and got hit at 60kmh by a metal thing and he almost didn’t make it
Just be smart don’t die
Aat this point there's 7 people that disregard those advices
This isn't harsh at all. Your take is appropriate. It's really f*cking stupid to jump a fence for A GODDAMN F*CKING HAT. It's not even that expensive!
It was his keys, but that really doesn’t matter. Uber home and Uber back the next day to get them and you are still alive
@@jaybird455the Batman the Ride at Six Flags over Georgia one was for his hat though. There's also the Raptor at Cedar pt one.
Even if the item is expensive like your wallet with all your credit cards in it or a pair of designer sunglasses etc. they can all be replaced. Call your bank and have the cards closed and replaced. Uber home and check back the next day fienyiej keys. Inconvenient? Absolutely! But you’d still be alive.
@@jaybird455plus they warn about having loose items on rides. So it was his fault he lost his keys in the first place
@@Nick-cv5rm yeah I agree with you
1. Signs on ride saying put away ALL loose articles.
2. 8 ft tall fence covered in several warning signs.
3. ANOTHER 8 ft tall fence.
4. Walking into the path of a high speed rail-based heavy machinery.
5. Not doing an army crawl, or dropping to the ground when you hear the train, while in the restricted area to avoid this.
6. Putting others livelihood at risk because you don't want to pay a locksmith, taxi, or wait.
what i hate is that even in an accident like this, news outlets would do anything BUT acknowledge that the victim was at fault. because fearmongering by saying the park and/or rollercoaster itself is unsafe because of this gets them more attention.
Exactly, biggest pet peeve with the media is they always start to put fault towards the park and briefly say “oh yeah he jumped the fence too” later in the article where most people don’t end up reading besides the title.
People are going to say you are cruel... But you are absolutely , 💯% CORRECT. And he didn't jump A fence ... He jumped TWO fences... Past warning signs, into a restricted area. If you play stupid games... You get stupid prizes.
nah
@@handledav yah
@@handledavhis fault for jumping 2 fences in an area with a moving vehicle
Very true. Choices have consequences.
I guess if you fuck around you really do find out
This happened around 8:00pm. The park closes at 10:00. All he had to do wait was 2 hours to get his keys. Literally could have rode two other rides and the park would have been closing.
He's probably one of those white guys that hates fun and was too impatient to go home because he wanted his beer, thus deciding to jump over the fence lmao
Shit keep riding banshee till they close
Same accident happened in 2008 in Mirabilandia, Italy. A guy lost his hat while riding Katun, a B&M invert, and later jumped over a fence to retrieve it, when he was hit in the head by the legs of a 15 years old girl riding the coaster. The girl even reported leg and knee injuries, it’s sad to think how someone’s recklessness can be so harmful not only for themselves, but also for other guiltless people. The park wasn’t held responsible for the accident though, since court found that the park had adequately indicate that hopping over the fence was prohibited.
A ride operator has reported that two riders had some scratching on their legs and another rider had blood on them. I have not seen anything reported from anyone that was on the train making contact though. Nelson also walked through two restricted area gates and past 4 restricted area signs. I go 1-2 times a week and they do have a strict policy, and before each ride they tell you to secure your items. They have bins to put stuff in, they allow fanny packs on rides. My fiance and I carry stuff in a fanny pack because it’s easy to unclip and put in the side bin. If the ride doesn’t have one, the restraints will still go over the fanny pack. Buy a locker or secure your things in a fanny pack or something it’s not hard. I feel bad for his two kids who were there with him when this happened, his family, the guests and operators that witnessed the event. It’s is hard to feel remorseful for the one who found their fate in such a blatant act of entitlement. I understand from his perspective that losing keys is very stressful, but that’s why they stress to secure items over the speaker before each ride and signs in the queue. They also gave him assurance that they will find his keys, but will have to wait until the park is closed or the ride is no longer in operation. At that point he only had to wait 2 hours for close. Maybe another hour to retrieve his keys at lost and found. These rides take a while to walk through, they’d lose a lot of money and every ride would spend most of its time down if they had to constantly go out for someone’s shit every time someone dropped something on a ride. Lastly, that was my thoughts as well. Obviously you can see and hear the train coming and it’s on a set path so common sense should say to stay out of the way. He had to be thinking the train would go over him standing before the grim discovery that the trains come a lot closer to the ground than he thought.
There is a reason why Australia has one of the strictest loose article policies in the world. Every ride requires you to place your items in a locker, or a loose articles bin at the station (even items in zipped up pockets or glasses secured with straps) before you even hop into the train. It takes longer to board yes, but it helps prevent evacuations mid ride or some dumb person jumping a fence to grab an item they dropped.
I honestly think it should be a commonality across themeparks across the world to stop this from happening.
I don't think people are jumping fences for inverts more often than other rides necessarily. I just think these deaths only happen with B&M inverts (so far) because they're probably the most dangerous restricted areas out of any ride type, and it's not nearly as easy to get away with. I personally have seen several people jump the fence to retrieve items or to skip the line for several other ride types, so I'm sure this happens more often than some would think. But the odds of successfully navigating an invert's restricted areas are much lower than say, a B&M hyper, where you'd basically have to be standing on the track to be hit. It's also a very common feature with B&M inverts to have several low to the ground moments, and those don't really happen a lot with other types of rides.
Very true. Inverts and possibly wing coasters are the worst ones.
What really sucks is that manufacturers might even stop or be forced to stop engineering these type of rides because of a single person’s bad decision making.
Years ago, I lost my cellphone on Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion (Kings Island’s sister park). I asked the park employees about it and they said they’d look for it. Long story short: they never got back to me about it. Also, not once did I think about going into the restricted area to look for my phone. Why? Because the area is restricted for a big reason! Lesson: if you don’t want to risk losing a valuable item on a ride, don’t have it on your person when riding!
What's especially sad is that park closing was in a mere 2 hours. It wasn't like he was going to have to wait all day.
We are living in the movie Idiocracy
I just watch that lol it’s true with the slang can’t wait for the movie ASS
But Brawndo has electrolytes…. It’s what plants crave….
I think that the reason it keeps happening on inverts isn’t because it looks safer but if one were to just the fence of a sit down coaster they wouldn’t get hit directly by the train or feet making it slightly safer
Pretty sure this 100% the reason. The only way I could see someone getting hit by a coaster that has the train above the track would be on wide trains like dives or wings, or if they actively climb on the track. Inverts are one of the few rides you can get actively in the way of the ride without climbing on top of the track.
As a person who was terrified to ride coasters for many years until I overcame it and became an enthusiast, it was common sense and through discovery about how often accidents happen on the ride itself (super super rare) when it's malfunction on the coasters part. Always felt proud of not letting my fear from keeping me off them. So, seeing this makes me mad. I don't even know why anyone hasn't learned gravity and loose articles are a bad mix. I never take anything but myself and glasses (with a chain to keep it on during) if I plan on going to an amusement park.
It is already unnecessary to take keys with you on a ride or not keep them in a bin. There is no excuse for people in this instance, and this just is so traumatic for the family, riders, and park operators/owners. Nobody should have their day ruined just cause someone couldn't wait until KI was shut down.
Parks are going to be even stricter with enforcing no loose objects rules than they already are because of stuff like this cause someone doesn't want to take a few extra seconds to put their possessions somewhere secure.
Correction: B&M Invert 8 car trains are actually around 18 tons, much more than the 2-3 tons said
"Be safe around trains. A message from Metro."
-Dumb Ways to Die
The 2008 incident at Six Flags Over Georgia was actually a 17 year old also retrieving his hat. He had arrived with a church group, so there was no need for him to break into the park.
yeah, I agree, whoever does go into restricted areas and do daft stuff like that is completely Mental
The entire world revolves around me. Everyone and everything should change for my convenience. It doesn't even matter if I put other people in danger because I am the only one that matters.
I just found out that Neanderthals are smarter than modern day humans
Hmmm not wanting to say anyting but all of those happenned in the states. That might say something about americans. Not saying they are the only one doing really stupid things but the last one in europe was over 30 yers ago that had these results by an incredble stupid action.
@@arturobianco848Wasn’t there a similar incident in Italy in 2008? Of course there’s going to be a lot of accidents in the U.S in general given the U.S alone has almost half the population of Europe, but the spread of stupid people seems to be pretty even throughout the world
I always also thought it was really unbelievable that ppl that do this dont seem to succeed at keeping track of the trains cycling.. do they not go prone when the train passes? Or just peer at the ground before jumping the fence?
Obviously just follow the proper rules but, if you're gonna break them.. its unbelievable.. but clearly with 4 incidents, Im wrong with the human ability
To be fair, we're more likely to hear of fatal incidents than ones where people look both ways and, at most, get asked to leave.
I guess not knowing the layout EST doesn't help. There will likely be blind spots or multiple trains. Not like a railway where you can easily look up and down the track for half the length of a coater track. To be honest, if you were paying attention to the coater trains you would probably conclude that it's unsafe to cross due to the frequency, likely one a minute or so.
The kind of guests that would do that probably won't know much about the restricted area their planning on entering in the first place.
@@samexahr3326The people who are stupid enough to jump the fence into the ride area are usually too dumb to realize the trains coming. Besides, 70 mph is usually too fast to react to in time. Basically the same reason you don’t run across the interstate.
Absolutely correct in your assessment. There are gates/signs for a reason! And as far as loose articles policy, wouldn’t common sense tell you to wear shorts or a pullover with zippered pockets when attending an amusement park??? I have shorts with zipped pockets AND Velcro to cover the zipper, may be dadish cargo shorts but they are comfy and practical! (I am a dad so it kinda fits lol) Comfort and usefulness should be the theme of your amusement park drip. Look at skater wear for shorts that have these pockets. Hell, Old Navy or Abercrombie (eww) prolly still sell them. Be smart comrades!
Cargo shorts, zippered pockets, velcro, and a fanny pack. My articles are always secure because I'm always thinking about my Amusement Park Drip.
@@bigrob029 it’s a SATCHEL (FANNYPACK was an all girl electro pop trio…. And sounds, again, too dadstyle 🤣). And a lot of newer rides, like Velocicoaster and Steel Vengeance, don’t allow ANYTHING even in zippered pockets! At least some parks are providing free lockers, my home park charges for them😡
Cmon SF Great Adventure, abolish locker taxing!!!!!
#zippersshouldsuffice
I wear a moneybelt for that reason (wich i replace once a year) plenty of options. You can also rent a locker for a day. But this was probable another GP vistor that doesn't know how many items are lost.
@@arturobianco848 Moneybelt? Are you a Fed? ATF? CIA? Lol, only fooling around. Only moneybelt I’ve ever seen was in MIDNIGHT RUN, and a Fed played by Yaphet Kotto had one with a bunch of $1000 bills….great movie!
@@troublenyc4092 its just a very flat fanny pack you can wear under your t shirt. So most of the time the operators don't mind or don't "see" that you take a "bag"with you.
It aint a real belt with a secret compartment kind.
I’m not going to say that your take is cruel, it’s just brutally honest. I feel for his family and friends, but you are one million percent correct about this incident being caused by his own negligence. To me, this would be like scaling a noise canceling wall to find a $100 bill that got carried away by wind and oh, oh didn’t think that 16 wheeler would be barreling down the freeway on the other side! To use a word of my generation: DUH!!!
Stupid is as stupid does.
So many safety measures for rides in the US compared to Europe, but still, most of these stupid accidents happen in the US.
Totally preventable. I feel bad for the 2 kids who were with him according to some reports I heard last night. Witnessing that is going to be something they have to live with.
Not preventable if sombody is that stupid it would happen with something else. But I guess you mean totaly unnecesary.
It’s frustrating when things like this happen, because the headlines will always be read as “man dies because of roller coaster.”
Thank you! I am annoyed with when You Tubers try "to be respectful" in tragedies, where the person clearly should be called out for their idiocy.
It's crazy to enter a roller coaster's restricted area but it's even worse when it's an inverted roller coaster
I feel bad for the family, all it takes is one careless decision to mess up everything
I took my family to kings Island back on June 4 & 5. It’s my home park. I live about 3.5 hrs away in West Virginia. We have 1 amusement park, Camden Park. When I was a teen we got Screamin Demon from KI. It became Thunderbolt Express. I marathoned that thing so many times. This past time, a few weeks ago, I had 6 teenagers with me. Being an enthusiast, I wasn’t playing around. We had lockers all day and we emptied our pockets. We rode Orion for the first time. I watched it be built thro KI Live. I’m a single mom of 3 so it took me till now to get back to ride it. I cried on that break run. I got back on and cried going up and again on the break run. It is my first Giga. It was exhilarating to say the least. Everyone rode but my youngest daughter. She rode DB tho. My other daughter rode one time and absolutely became like me😁I love a great first drop, floater airtime, aggressiveness, and intensity. I, am one who loved SoB. I loved everything about it. With and without the loop. I liked both original Gwazi too. I’ve never gotten to ride one yet. I used to go ride this one woodie in Ft Lauderdale called the Hurricane all the time when I lived in west palm one year. I loved it. I love a good wood coaster. My girls loved Mystic. Big Dipper was all 3 of our first wood coaster. . The janky thang. Lol it’s a Roller Coaster Landmark😬 tho. 😊

About the part that you said that it’s happening only to b&m inverts: in my home park (energylandia, Poland) there were two similar cases. one with employee being hit by “ RMF dragon” (Vakoma family invert) ( he got broken arm and ribs) and second with employee being hit by hyperion ( Intamin hyper) to find guests phone ( he died)
Completely valid comments man. Stuff like this makes theme park rides look dangerous, it happens every few years, and considering the circumstances here, it’s just solid proof that it’s the fault of humans, not the ride.. rest in peace to the victim, let’s hope this event warns folks of the dangers of entering such areas.
6:44 so my honest guess here is that people actually are going into restricted lock out areas all the damn time, but usually they’re not gonna be walking on the track and getting struck. I assume for b&m inverts people assume there’s more clearance than there actually is between the train and their head.
leson: stupidity is terminal
I was there. I saw him enter the restricted area just a few feet in front of me. He came down from the station on the Fast Lane side of the stairs. He was visibly pissed. He hopped over the handrail which was right next to a gate in the fence under the ride. He opened the gate, and the two young girls with him were pleading with him not to go in there, but he wouldn't listen. He opened the gate and walked into the restricted area like he owned the place. The gate had a large sign on it saying "Authorized Personnel Only". He knew what he was doing. He made a choice. The two girls exited through the Fast Lane line. I went up the stairs and told the attendant what I saw. I didn't want anyone to get hurt.
Your outlook is refreshing
I will never have any sympathy for anyone who knowingly violates the restrictions of a ride and gets hurt or killed as a direct result of this
Health and safety is worth so much more than whatever you think you are going to gain by purposely doing such things
My sympathies go out to the families and friends of anyone who has met their end or had their life altered by one of these events. But the victims themselves are selfish, impatient and careless morons. I only wish that had the common sense to not go ahead with what they did
When I was waiting to ride “Nighthawk” @Carowinds Sept 2019 I saw a $5 bill laying in the grass nearby the coaster tracks. I felt tempted but not stupid enough to hop the fence to retrieve it! My wasn’t worth losing over a Lincoln bill let alone get kicked out of the park! They have signs telling visitors “DO NOT HOP OUT VER THE FENCE” warnings!
While my heart goes out to the family of the man killed and especially his 2 kids that were with him, this really sucks.
I say that because every incident has repercussions. Just watch. Now this is the 2nd incident with Cedar Fair (once in 2015 on Raptor) with B&M inverts.
I read a report from one of the investigators on this incident and it was talking about liability on Cedar Fair’s end. Of course I place 100% blame on the man for his decision making, but it sounds like they are trying to investigate any kind of liability on Cedar Fair.
The report stated a comment that said, and I’m paraphrasing here, “while patrons are def responsible for their actions if they ignore signs and jump fences, the park should also be responsible for not allowing those situations to even be possible”. They went on to say maybe some solutions would be razor wire on the fences or like a trip wire that would immediately shut down the coaster like they have with other sensors that do the same for other reasons. They brought up the fact that some people can’t read or understand English.
I feel like that’s insane myself. I mean if you can’t read or understand English, I get it. Does that mean that you walk across an interstate in a busy city? So many examples come to mind. It’s common sense right?
Am I wrong here? What are your thoughts?
You can't protect stupid people from themselves
I’ve heard a lot of speculation about why B+M inverts tend to be the center of these situations. My thoughts:
1) B+M inverts often swoop close to the ground from high drops, giving little warning for the trespasser to get out of the way.
2) because it is an inverted coaster, the lack of floor and side walls of the car make it more likely for pocket items like phones and keys to wiggle loose.
3) B+Ms often have large, sprawling layouts, or are tucked into corners, making it more likely for trespassers to think they can get away with jumping the fence. The other major invert supplier, Vekoma, keeps their layouts compact, with the queues often woven through the layout, making it harder for trespassers to trespass without being seen by operators or people waiting in the queue.
4) inverted coasters create a feeling of “safety” for trespassers standing under them, because they don’t perceive that they are in the way of the coaster with the track some 10-12ft above them. With traditional coaster, the trespasser would be hit only if standing on or near the track, which is far more avoidable, as the track is at body-level to the trespasser.
They don't just go close to the ground. A lot of them go below ground level, and there are troughs dug into the ground to accommodate it.
Yeah, honestly people entering restricted areas is a decently common thing at the parks. But due to the design of most of the rides they’re fine because they’re not actually walking on the track.
You are correct and not harsh. People, just don’t bring your belongings on rides and most importantly, DO NOT go to restricted areas PERIOD!
You are absolutely correct. No need to apologize for being harsh.
Actually makes complete sense that it's inverted roller coasters where these types of accidents occur. In conventional trains, the most likely way for fence hoppers to get hit is if they were to jump up onto the track itself.
As a huge roller coaster enthusiast, Im tired of these idiots. Dont feel sorry at all when someone who actively chooses to disobey an order and gets served the consequences of their actions. The true victims are the ones in the train who hit him. Im over it. I refuse to live in a world where rollercoasters are looked poorly upon rather than the poor decisions of others causing death.
You hit the nail on the head, it 100% keeps happening to inverts because these people do not realise they are in the path of the train. The only ideal solution to this if it was really necessary would be maybe painting the ground where there is not enough clearance for someone beneath the track. The ground could be painted directly below the track in these near-to-ground areas in bright red/yellow hazardous lines. Shouldn't have to be necessary, but if it happened twice at the same park I could totally see them doing something like that.
Or you could always electrify the fence...
Lmao they don’t give a craps still! That’s why there’s huge fences where the ride has low clearance area.
It probably happens on inverts because for normal tracked rides you can avoid getting hit by just not getting on the track. Inverts and suspended coasters you have less idea where the train will be.
My grandson cellphone came out of his pocket on Orion at Kings Island. He put his stuff in locker but he had two phones and forgot to put the other in the locker. It hit my leg and I was like what's that? Later found out it was his phone. They told him the same. They could not search for it until closing. We waited but they said they could not find it. We could have called and check the next day but being from Georgia he just counted as lost. At least we obeyed the rules and not endangered our lives.
That poor 14 year old girl who hit him will have PTSD for the rest of her life. They will have to put 12 ft barbed wire fences around coasters to prevent future idiots.
I also wonder if the keys fell there when he was in the ride. If the keys feel out of his pocket while riding would have potentially killed another ride in a car behind him.
I think that people are idiots for hopping over the fence, & most theme parks close at 10PM, & the incident happened at 8PM. I get it if it was just after opening, but it was only 2 hours and it was not even a boring line, because you could enjoy the amusement park for 2 hours and then get your keys, but instead, he did a stupid thing, & won a stupid prize. I also want to highlight that the news is also stupid for blaming the park for causing the incident when it was obviously the guest's fault.
I do believe it has to do with how B&M inverts look visually. They do give the illusion of even if the train does come you could duck and it would miss you and the wideness of the track hides the height of the train.
However anyone with common sense knows there is only about 3 feet between the train and the ground and you will most likely get hit even if you duck. I mean even some inverts like Talon get within 1 foot from the ground.
The burning question...
Did they find his keys? 😮
lol
He did but them whamo!
Dont worry we went 8 days after this happened and the amount of news signs at banshees is unreal also the i lost my keys joke is everywhere even at soak city
Same type of idiots who want up-close pics with bison and bears at national parks. The same type to jump 10ft fences to get pics with tigers and pandas. DARWIN AWARD
Every scenario of people jumping the fence is so insane.
I hope Kings Island doesn't get sued because it was his own damn fault that he got hit. The park or anyone didn't make him trespass, he chose to do it.
Now is not the time to lose one's head
Sadly there's probably going to be a wrongful death lawsuit against Kings Island for something not thier fault. Outside of Son of Beast Kings Island has avoided stupid controversy, leave most belongings locked in your car at KI except for your wallet for food reasons and your keys. Leave your keys with someone whose nor riding the ride. I'm from the Cincinnati area and Kings Island is a place I spent a lot of my childhood at
Don't wish death on anyone but the guy definitely made the mistake...the fact that his kids and others were trying to tell him not to...yet he remained stubborn and decided to go his way anyway.
I was there the day before and my last ride on Banshee was pretty much 24 hours before the incident. I was wrapping up my first of 3 days at Cedar Point when I saw the news, sent chills down my spine knowing I was there day before. Was sad to hear of the incident and knowing the guy passed but gonna have to side with the park, employees, ride manufacturer on this one. We can't have nannies at the lockout areas saying "no-no-no, don't go in there!" An 8-foot-tall fence should be more than sufficient to tell people to stay out, restricted area. As I say (in a nod to Mystic Timbers..."Don't hop the fence, this is a restricted area. Don't hop the fence...don't hop the fence (garbled audio) hop the fence. hop the fence. hop the fence"
I've lost a set of keys before on a coaster. It's not fun esp when you don't have a way home. I waited til after ride was closed for night and had maintenance take a look. During the discovery of my keys missing, I had already made arrangements to get my spare brought out to me so I could at least get home. A few days later, my keys were actually found on the roof of a neighboring building. And I'm still alive to share the experience of losing a set of keys on a coaster. I've also had a phone slip out on a ride which landed on a brake run catwalk. Had found it the next day when I came in for work (as I work at that said park) - had contacted maintenance who was able to lock out the ride for me so I could retrieve it, even if it was on a catwalk 15 feet away from the station.
Legit was there the day after and on the 24th… where I legitimately witnessed keys fly out of pockets on the invertigo and become destroyed on the walk up area to the ride… store your loose articles better folks…
I know it sounds like we are cold and unfeeling about the passing of Mr Nelson but we are not. I am sure I can speak for everyone when I say nobody wants to see someone lose their life at a park even when that person does something this stupid. I was hoping he would recover and I do sympathize with his family. My heart goes out to him then but like you said, it’s hard to feel bad for someone who willfully entered a dangerous restricted area with the ride active and a train on the course. I am positive he had no idea where his keys landed. If he lost them in a moving coaster they could have been anywhere. The fact is people are unsympathetic because he expected the staff to shut down the ride with lots of guests waiting and go down in the area and search for his keys. When he was told they can’t just shut down the ride and go look he go upset and decided to bypass the restricted area. I lost a pair of expensive designer sunglasses last year on a roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I wanted them back of course. I was told the same thing the staff at Kings Island said. Wait until the park closes and then check back. If the item was spotted before them they’d turn them in to lost and founds I went to lost and found and opened a case so they’d continue looking even after I left the park. Well I never got them back but it never would have occured to me to go bypassing the restricted area to try and find them. It’s not worth it. No keys, sunglasses, wallet, hat etc is worth your safety or your life.
its also always b&m inverts
Makes sense. It's easier to go under the track falsely thinking you'll be fine than climbing over traditional track.
Its an invert so people seem not to realize there is train dangeling under the tracks. And the SLC aren't as sprawled around so they get coughtr esaier if they do it. So yup it makes sence.
Thank you
The music💀😭😂
Not harsh at all. It was 100% Mr. Nelson's fault. Even in the highly unlikely scenario of somebody breaking into a restricted area and missing ALL signage and warnings, simple common sense or taking a moment to think would tell one to wait until the ride's not on the course to search for valuables or to wait until the end of the day when park staff could search for their valuables.
Tryna find your keys at 8PM on an out and back layout coaster (invert nevertheless) is down right idiotic. Prayers for his family. Stupid games = stupid prizes.
I might add with the Flight Deck incident that the man was from Mexico and only spoke Spanish so he couldn't read the signs in English. That being said, it was still his fault.
Also, I relate the stricter rules and changes being caused by a few idiots to Dragon Challenge (formerly Dueling Dragons). People kept throwing objects at the other train and some people got injured including a rider losing sight in an eye. So they had to stop the dueling aspect. I still liked it when I visited but I would've liked it even more than Hulk (which was my favorite in the park) if it was still dueling. I wonder do they now have to use electric (not enough to kill but just enough to give an uncomfortable shock) or barbed wire fences to keep people out?
Its an f-ing fence. They don't put them up for nothing being mexican doesn't make you braindead.
Maybe parks should make the restricted area fences electric 😮💨
If you see
A: a rope
B: a fence
C: a closed door
At a theme park don’t go past it
100% agree with you that this incident is 100% not the parks fault. However, the instant I heard you say they asked him to wait until the end of the day i literally started screaming at the stupidity of that decision. It is terrible HFE to assume that people will wait for the safe way ESPECIALLY when they preceive that they can personally solve the problem. But yeah i honestly have little sympathy for Darwin award winners even if i enjoy human factors engineering
Sorry to hear about the guy; it was on him. I think parks should do what Legoland does: if it cars keys to go down to get them.
I don't understand how in the world the guy couldn't hear the train coming as loud as it is!?
Probably listening to da hippty hop on his ear buds

the point is more about secure your items people. i believe in the banshee incident there are 2 fences to climb to get into the restricted area. one at the que line and then the one that goes around the coaster.was actually at KI the day before this happened. it is also not an isolated incident. saw a you you tube video of some one jumpi g the first fence to retrieve a hat.
This is why fanny packs are a great idea. Cedar point is my home park. I would rock a fanny pack but not allowed to have one in line for steel vengeance and I'm not paying for a locker. There's so many alternatives to these problems but people will continue to be dumb about it.
I agree. I brought a small bag when I went to kings island (today actully!) and when I went on banshee kept my small items in that bag secure. These problems can be so easily avoided yet it keeps happening.
News channels like to put the in front of a coaster name such as *The Banshee* instead of Banshee
Count on it regarding the restrictions. They will crack down even more on all rides. It is always the stupidity of some causing hardship for the masses.
@GreatAmericanCoaster I don't want to defend the actions of the man who died.
But I imagine if, _for example_, the keys are for the rental car that you need to drop at airport before your flight, which is way before park closure. Your critical thinking fades away in face of penalties and missed flight.
Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't have to pay for lockers after already paying to enter the park. Not saying it is not his fault, but I think free lockers may have helped prevented this specific incident.
B&M inverts are to blame having ppl legs wiggling around, having fun and what not! #StopBMInverts
This is like running out onto a busy freeway because your hat blew out the window. Darwin wins again.
If I died on Banshee, I'd want to be buried next to Son of Beast in her graveyard.
Most parks would not assume responsibility for guests’ lost or stolen items they bring into the park.
My news widget has been getting blown up by this reaching for my intense sympahty
I can feel sad he passed but cant feel bad for him
I rode banshee last summer and Raptor. Great rides. And you can bet that yes I had my keys on me.
In case you wondered, I have a carebeaner loop around the keys to my belt loop. And also wore a fanny pack. So yes those 2 things can save lives.
My advice is to wear a fanny pack wherever you are allowed to. If that's not feasible rent an all day movable locker. A few dollars to save your life is a bargain
The news dont know what the hell there talking about
I so agree with you!
I will only add if he didn't take keys (loose article) on the ride he wouldn't have lost them. He was told they would retrieve them at end of night.
I am very sorry for the family's loss though. An accident that was preventable.
"Does the park have to add spikes and barb wire?" yes. Yes they do. Because people are stupid. But even they shouldn't be able to climb a fence with razor wire at the top unless they came prepared.
I don't care what other people say, this is very harsh, he was a human being, any loss of a human life is terrible, yeah, he made a huge mistake, but let's have some compassion for him, there is a lot of times people make mistakes and it almost costs them their life, you probably have done that at least 1 time in your life, and most people have but was lucky and survived, stop acting like you have never made a terrible mistake. Prayers for him and the family.
These people are gonna make us have medal detectors on all the rides. People just need to stay out of restricted areas. That includes Gorilla exhibits. RIP Harambe.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...
I was there and I was in line
For the banshee
Fingers crossed banshee doesn’t close over this.
Its open again
That wasn't an accident that was intentional stupidity
So my thought on the delay from the strike and him being pronounced dead. My guess is he was brain dead and they donated his organs, which takes time to run tests and alert matches.
That and the media can’t declare someone dead until certain things happen. Normally it’s alerting certain people.
They told him to wait
The harry potter ride has lockers for loose items so most likely, parks will have to install lockers
The thing is…. They DO have lockers. I was there today and went on banshee 5 times. They had lockers right by the ride…..
@@PopsparkzsXD well i guess they cant really stop people from bringing things on board...
@@Vamatt99218 yes ik. When I went on banchee I had a small bag on me but I kept it secure. People just think that it will be fine even though banchee has many flips AND corkscrew.
The Batman one was because he lost his hat.
