@@lemonhead1442 yo this is so awful...i don't know these people at all but i can almost guarantee that they mourn the death of their child every day and would much rather have an alive child than millions of dollars
You can see how the lightness of the passengers could really throw them into that net when they first take off down the waterslide, it's really sad that they never made any changes.
They put the lightest person in the front like they did with Caleb. They didn’t know what they were doing. Lightest is supposed to go in the middle … RIP lil man 🥺
It is so sad that somebody died on this. These people who were responsible didn’t even have the decency to take some accountability and even put up a memorial for the boy. Absolutely disgraceful. I feel sorry for the Schwab family who simply wanted to give their children a day out of fun, and due to the incompetence of the creators that boy was decapitated. For them to not even put a memorial up just speaks a thousand words.
It’s funny how this water had injured so many people before Caleb and nothing was done about it or even said like seriously this water ride was too dangerous smh
I noticed that as well. I read somewhere where they had them three-person liferaft especially made for this ride but it looks like either they were especially made out of paper mache or when they needed patch it up that use paper mache to patch it.
I remember watching this when I was 10 because it was summer. Watching this again after hearing a kid died is just horrible… may Caleb Rest In Peace :(
Why would they not raise the height of the netting in the areas where the raft could possibly go airborne? Why even put a net if hitting the net is more dangerous than going airborne? They should have designed the slide with a lip on the edge that was narrower than the raft, so the raft couldn't exit the chute. Then equip the raft with a "real" harness like a roller coaster.
The fact that they even had netting proves they were fully aware the rafts flew off. They needed an upstop mechanism to keep the raft from flying off, not a series of metal hoops over the slide. What exactly was the netting supposed to do? The second they put up the netting it became priority 1 to never touch it.
It should not have been designed that way to began with. The second hill acted like a ramp cause the rafts to go airborne. It should have been designed with the big drop then a straight run out to the pool.
@@briansxml do you? I never mentioned anything about this specific video you dumb shit, read the room... all of us are here because someone DIED on this ride. Give your head a shake neck beard
@@Theoriginalmartian its not dangerous. The kid was probably too young, small or/and too light for the slide. Thats why they say you gotta be 12 years old and at least 120 cm tall. Same can go for too tall and heavy. I did a ride for younger kids that i used to ride all the time when i was kid and went cuz of nostalgia when i was like 16 and it was scary as fuck. I started rocking right to left at every turn instead of seamlessly sliding left to right and at the last curve i blasted off the ride. Luckily it was still in the direction of the pool so i landed in water.
I successfully avoided having to take physics until I couldn't anymore. Had I not, I would have been just like these people, putting total trust for my life and physical well-being into the hands of the designers of this ride without much reservation. The engineers who designed this had to have cheated in physics class or didn't take it very seriously. Starting with considerations about the extreme height, combined with traveling at a high velocity _IN WATER_ when that's even a bad idea seat-belted inside of a vehicle - only for them to think, _"Yeah, that's a _*_GREAT_*_ idea!"_ What an appropriate name for it, however, Verrückt - "crazy." Where are they now and what are they working on these days? It is my understanding their case was dismissed and these guys never had to serve any time in jail.
The intention of the drop is to be a brake. Their fundamental mistake is that they tried to build a rollercoaster instead of a water slide. If you put drops on a water slide you are asking to kill people. They could have used switchbacks to slow the speed, it still would have been the tallest waterslide, and it would have been safe.
I’ve read all over and haven’t been able to discern whether Caleb bounced and hit the top of the pole or not. He totally could have been slung out to the side and hit the straight section of the support pole. In that case, taller wouldn’t have mattered.
