For those that dont know how tension forces work, the cable would not have crushed the kid, but any part that hit him could have easily sliced through flesh and bone
i mean at the same time that kid was VERY lucky that the line snapped and he didnt go up into the air, bc if it snaps midair i think there isnt enough of RNGesus on his side to ever get out of that alive
@@kylejohnson3889 well springs are made to work with a force called compression, and tension is basically the opposite You also have torsion force, which is rotational, and shear force, which is like scissors cutting paper
There was a ride in Wisconsin Dells called Terminal Velocity. My parents went on it during a vacation we took. This ride was basically a free fall, from at least 100 feet in the air, where you reach terminal velocity (hence the name). It was shut down a year after my parents went on it because a young woman went on the ride. After she was hoisted up to the desired height 100 ft, she was dropped. However the operator forgot to put the netting up and she ended up hitting the ground. Breaking tons of bones in her body, internal bleeding, head trauma. She survived but ended up paralyzed. Incredibly tragic and 100% avoidable
I have a fear of heights as well and I don't like to be on roller coasters also. Most of the roller coaster rides I go on are usually made for kids but I'm a scaredy-cat.
@@Park-Kim_VMin I just don't like most stuff that gives you a giant adrenaline rush because it makes me feel so sick to the point where I would throw up and it would make my stomach hurt so bad.
Roller coasters are the funnest things in world, i rode my first roller coaster when i went to cedar point in a school fieldtrip and it was the best feeling and most fun i had in my whole life
You should watch the entire video on Action Park. It was so much worse than they made it sound. They killed an employee on the cart ride, people died in the wave pool. They paid employees to test dangerous rides. They had to buy fleet of ambulances for the nearest town. They reopened it not too long ago.
Dude there's a ride at my local park called the Samurai: Your seats are attached to a large beam that spins, attached to a hub that spins, and attached to another larger beam that also spins.
Omg I rode Dueling Dragons. Me and my dad rode it. Once on the same train and then the second time right after the first ride, we split up and he rode one train and I rode the other. I miss this coaster..
I do have a very tiny fear of heights but for me, it depends on how high something is. But roller coasters and drop rides are my all time favorite rides when it comes to heights. The tallest ride I have ever gone on is Falcons Fury the 335ft drop ride in FL at Bush Gardens.
Not gonna lie; I’d give anything to be able to get onto a theme park ride again, as I haven’t been able to since becoming permanently disabled in 2009. My mum & sisters have offered to get me a VR headset, but from my wheelchair, it would probably just cause motion sickness! LOL. I did accept the PS5 they offered me, though! 😂
Blasts infinite nightmare incarnate A hyperspeed roller coaster over 500 metres high and has a colossal amount of underwater sections with absolutely horrifying jumpscares
Years ago, before Hurricane Katrina at Six Flags New Orleans. Someone got decapitated while trying to retrieve their hat that they lost during one of the loops on The Batman Ride.
My mom grew up in New Jersey and she said that one of her guy friends went to Action Park, he ended up coming out with road rash all down his right arm because he skidded on cement on one of the rides cuz he was wearing a tanktop. He had to go to the hospital to get it cleaned up
He didn’t mention the Superman at six flags New England. I can’t remember the year, but a large mentally challenged man got on ride and held down safety shoulder straps making operators think he was secure. On one of the rides humps he had let go to put arms up and was flung from the ride to his death. The ride was shutdown for safety inspection, had some sections change, repaired and renamed the Bizarro for several years. It has since been returned to being the Superman and still in operation.
I'd only ever meet BHD If I won the lottery and took a trip to vegas... So I guess if I ever meet BHD I'll have to bribe him to vlog theme park rides! I cant help it... it's funny seeing grown peoples scared.
4:55 You such a pansy 😅. Its less than 150 ft tall and it was actually the most expensive roller coaster and it takes you on a ride you will never forget 😅 especially for Harry Potter fans
At a theme park I went rollercoaster call the top gun or something at some point of the ride it turned so fast my head got stuck in a corner of the straps until it stopped turning.
@@BlastphamousHDTV2RU-vid @ 5:00 RE: The Green Lantern - I rode that rollercoaster and I can tell you why, in my humble opinion, they might have closed that ride down. The G-Forces! I ride ALL rollercoasters and love, speed, flips and yes G-FORCES. However, let me tell you my personal experience on this ride... When I first saw it while waiting in line to ride it, I said this looks like a weak ass ride... BUT, WHEN I RODE IT I WAS LIKE DAMN. I am not sure if I am just old and don't visit Magic Mountain 10 times a year like I used too and therefore maybe my body is a little more prone to the G-forces. When I rode this, it almost made me PASS OUT. When I rode this, the car would only go ONE LEVEL AT A TIME AND THEN STOP. I remember thinking to myself (and later said it to the ride operator when I got to the bottom) that "boy am I glad this thing stops at each level to allow me to get my bearings". I believe when they first opened it, the ride went from the top to the bottom all at once. Anyway, because of the way the track was designed with it dips and curves AND THE FACT THAT THE SEATS ROTATED 360 DEGREES JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME, it was definitely a GREAT ride; but NOT for the faint of heart in my opinion. When I reached the bottom and went to get out, I told the DAMN, THAT IS A LOT OF G'S and that is when he told me that just prior to me riding, the ride used to go all the way down from top-to-bottom. Sadly, when I went back and saw the ride was gone, I was like dang, that ride was only here for a short minute. I have a feeling people complained about the G's and that is why they took it down because no one would ride it. LOL.
I’m also scared of heights. So I stick to things like teacup rides or just the ones that use centrifugal force like the teacups. Tho there’s also a few rides where you go around in corkscrews, that I can ride no problem - tho not the ones that go up in height.
I'm with you brother I have something called taccophobia which is the irrational fear of moving at high speeds so I understand where your fear of roller coasters come from
I am afraid of heights but went on some rollercoasters not all depends on what their speed n height was n safety's but won't get on top of a roof . Trust ur guts when it comes to anything
I get a little closterhobic sometimes and i get irriated when im in dark cause cant see well so looking for sht all confused sometimes but i like sleep with no lights on and complete darkness when tv turns off im like sweet i can sleep knowhwatimsaying
I went on dueling dragons many times and attendance was not really the reason for the closure. The coaster was having some problems in a number of areas and they also wanted something they could do better merchandising with as dragons never seemed to be one of their biggest sellers though to be said for it they did have some awesome shirts. Hagrids on the other hand is not actually a tall coaster. It instead uses high speed boosts low to the ground which are some what similar to a motorcycle in that it can simulate slowing down and speeding up. I have been in some pretty tall coasters so being on something low to the ground is refreshing.
I loved Dueling Dragons/ Dragon Challenge. That was an unfortunate accident caused by the rider not following the rules not a ride issue. They now have metal detection machines to prevent stuff like that from happening again. Thae little boy on that slide I believe was decapitated. so so sad.
25:13 i would have loved this ride LMAO Im not racist, i just find the design funny and im mature enough to put aside any sort of racisim/public opinion in exchange for my entertainment, i see the swastikas, sure, but the consept of spinning while spinning seems fun :)
