What Really Happened on Superman Tower of Power Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom June 21st 2007? 

I like Crabs coming from a cnc programmer/machinist i couldnt agree more with that statement!!!!

@Thomas L oof, i hope you sued so you could pay those medical bills

@Thomas L There wouldn't be a sudden stop based on how these towers work. It's literally going to stop just as hard as it does as normal. Pressing the e-stop will only stop you from going up. Once you start falling, you're going all the way to the bottom. The same is true for every drop towers I know of except the little hydraulic towers that are about 15 feet tall and made for small children. The magnetic brakes are bolted in place and are permanently engaged.

@Thomas L no I mean it's physically impossible for it to do what you said it did.

@Thomas L oof lucky bitch And as for the breaks fucken you up, they could have been set up differently 11 years ago. Cause 11 years ago my friend used to get stuck on rides all the goddamn time, but has only been stuck on 2 rides (so far) in recent years Technology changes and updates all the time

Yeah, what an AWFUL person...

@Abigail Slaughter No, that's the part that makes the most sense. If you're a young person and you've already fucked up and now you see a broken bodied even younger human in front of you missing their feet from their body, I'd probably expect that person to run away from the sight of that and the guilt of causing that. But what makes no sense is the part before that where they are too ignorant to think to stop it in time.

@Abigail Slaughter maybe the front personnel panicked thinking it was their fault. Thinking that maybe they didn't call to the operator in time, or maybe they hit the wrong button / channel. Regardless an awful traumatic experience for all involved

wait, you expect quality from employees getting paid minimum wage? wtf

Petey Wheatstraw yes. Doesn’t matter what a person is getting paid. They’re still getting paid to do a job so they should do it right. And part of the blame lies on the employer for inadequate training too

Syrup Balls

its not about minimum wage its about training all they do is stand around and press buttons

Yessssss

@@DaSandwich21 it’s that attitude that causes accidents

I worked at six flags mm on Lex Luther drop of doom similar to this ride. There are lazy good for nothings but they don’t last long at all to make it to operating panel. At mm anyway, it was extremely rare for anyone to be completely careless like this girl was. I took pride in doing my best every day to be extremely aware and do my job to the best of my ability while helping people to have a safe fun day. What I kind of gather though is that a lot of other six flags parks that are smaller or crappier don’t have very good operations or care about what they do.

Additionally, if your place of employment ever gets upset at you or anyone else for pushing an E-Stop out of caution, RUN. Quit and report it!

I used to work at a park for Cedar Fair. They 100% punish you for hitting the estop. We had to hit it for a coaster and the dude got fired

@@jong2991 then that’s a terrible place, you should always worry more about the riders then the pressing the e-stop unless you click it for no reason it’s better to be safe in a situation like this then sorry that you didn’t press it

@@jong2991 what was the situation? why’d he get fired?

@@rylinmarie8667 a rider tried to get off the coaster as it was going up the lift, the loader/dispatch saw it and hit the button. there’s two estop buttons on either side of the platform one in the control booth and one on the opposite side for dispatch. For our coaster dispatch is right next to the lift and can see everything unobstructed while control is in a booth farther away and not only did they not see the person trying to get off they’re focused on the other train coming into the station. Control should have been the one to stop it because unlike dispatch who only has an estop and a train arrival/departure button, control has a lift stop button. The biggest difference between the two is control can restart the lift by themselves if they stop it, but an estop needs maintenance to unlock it and management is alerted. Managers didn’t consider the passenger trying to get off a moving coaster on the lift an emergency stop, so pressing the estop with no emergency is a fat violation and the dispatch person was fired.

Very easily, given this would be most people's reaction if they arent trained properly in crisis management. Its very clear from the person's reactions that there was a lack of proper training.

Acting like that's a high bar to pass

@Mazxj Stripes My comment was about passing highschool..

they deserve criminal negligence charges

@Mazxj Stripes r/wooooooosh

Ride operator: I have achieved safety.

Minimum wage = incompetence

No Thanks all I’m saying is businesses get what they pay for.

ye

and her feet were in the air, probably spurting blood like a mini fountain over everyone.

That's the scary thing about e-stops. You can trap a person in a machine and by the time powers is restored and they are finally removed it is too late. Say someone is caught in a press, instead of hitting the reverse button you panicked and hit the button that shuts everything down, and now you can't reverse it off of them. The guilt of hitting the e-stop and having it make things worse would be immense. I hope to never have to make that split second judgement call.

That’s some sick Jigsaw trap

What a dipshit. Why are people like that always in charge?

God what a bitch. Imagine not caring about someone else’s life.

Proud of you for this!! 💗

Dont regret not yelling at them just be proud you saved someones life😊

Thanks, been searching the comments for a while... 🙂

I’ve always wondered how she was doing. Do you know if she still lives in Louisville?

They reattached one of of her legs?? Wow! That's some treat surgical work! At least she got one back, although I'm sure a lot of the nerves got damaged and are not fully functional. But better than nothing.

I hope she got paid well...

@@specialopsdave ​ Hmm... I get what you mean. But it still seems to me like the government is just clumping "agriculture" and "technology" together because they have nowhere better to put it.

Lol

That's ironic seeing how they're not even allowed to have fireworks at the park because it's too close to the airport (I live near their), but the ride operators were careless none the less

This ride operator was a Skyrim NPC

He was probably like this no my beautiful machine

She did

She did, she’s now doing fine but I can’t imagine the trauma she has.

She did and she is walking again.

Herand her family hopefully sued

god, that trauma would be so unbearable. i don’t think i could live with that.

You probably shouldn't. Having not only helped people directly in the aftermath of trauma but also having been hit by a frigging semi-truck on a Wyomming freeway, your brain isn't working right after trauma. What you remember and what actually happened are often a bunch of jangled images and you are also more vunerable to making false statements depending on what is being asked of you. There would be physical evidence of what she claimed in this case. Just the logistics of it don't seem all that plausible (i.e. it wrapped around her neck and her ankles), or other statements by her that it was around the necks of the other girls in the car (again, not all that logistically possible). Just that fact that it caught her legs the way it did was amazingly freakish enough all on it's own. That doesn't mean she didn't go through hell or is intentionally lying - it's an effect of the trauma itself. That fact that it cannot be corroborated by physical injuries (which should be there given the circumstances) should be enough to make one pause. Just because heavy pain drugs hadn't been given in the hospital doesn't suddenly wipe away the very real effect of just plain shock, extreme pain, massive blood loss, or any medication given to her on her way to the hopsital.

@@Amoreyna great point bro

tbh I'm impressed they were able to reattach any parts of her at all

@@BoogerDeluxe22 ???

Why I was a theme park performer and not a ride operated lol

Triggers flashback. I guess it isn't a good idea to hire a Vietnam veteran as a ride operator.

This is why whenever I apply to work at Disney I never apply for the ride operator job

Max Alire A Disney cast member here... it’s not all it’s cracked up to be... its kind of trash... Disneyland is GREAT a for guests, not so much for its employees... don’t do it

Brett Abaurrea Ik that’s what I’ve heard. But even just being posted up in Disneyland for a shift would make me happy. I’m not gonna do it but always thought how it would be

That’s good to hear, I’m going to Disney in a couple months. I hope their training everyone at all amusement parks like that at this point

It was most likely a teenager operating the ride. I would have probably did the same damn thing

A teenager operating at minimum wage. This is 100% on the company. Don't hold teenagers liable for things they get paid and trained way too little for.

@@NavidIsANoob Uh, I seriously doubt they were below 18 and allowed to operate a RIDE. If they were, that’s on the park. However, an 18 year old should know they’re in charge and not just run away. The child was bleeding.

@@rebekahwolkiewicz449 You do realize theme parks are known to employ teenagers? Btw being 18 years old doesn't stop you from being a teenager. Mentality doesn't just switch on your birthday. This is why you're a fighting a losing battle trying to pin this on the person who is employed by the park. It doesn't work that way. The park is responsible for the safe operation of its rides. Unless malicious intent can be proven, no employed individual takes the blame here.

@@NavidIsANoob I’m not pinning it on one person. This video actually says he was aghast at how negligent they were. I’m just saying you can’t leave a child like that! And how do you know the attendant JUST turned 18. We’re having a conversation not a ‘battle’. People today can’t have a conversation without getting competitive.

Keep in mind, its not just that fine, its a huge punch to their reputation; and that fine also included the shutdown of the ride as well, as this ride was eventually shut down after an incident. Sometimes on most severe incidents, they end with the ride shutting down permanently.

They sued the person that got their legs ripped off?

What park was this? Jfc...

Amusement park? More like Incident Park

Are you sure this is an amusement park and not a slaughter house?

Same.lol

steph soppanish same

Yeah, like I’m not scared of the machines, famous amusement parks such as Disney’s use excellent engineering. I’m scared of stupid human beings instead

If you are a man, I say ask your doctor to supplement your testosterone. As we age our testosterone begins to lower and makes us less confident and more fearful of danger. When we are young men, we are Invincible. When we age we start acting and behaving more like females (which is never a good thing)

Shawn Hughes bruh this has nothing to do with testosterone, this is just common sense. they don’t want to go on a possibly dangerous ride because of previous accidents, it doesn’t make them a “female” what the fuck are you on old man lmao

puppyhowler I’ll show you. I’ll show you all!!!

ZakuNick *slice* LOOK AT MY KNUBS MOTHER FUCKERS!

*look at my nubs as they bleed fools!*

I thought the same thing. He sounded like such a moron...

That guy talking was Landon from the channel MostAmazingTop10. He's notorious for being known as the annoying narrator of the channel and being hated for it.

I probably shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help but laugh at this.

My dumb self reading this the first time: “Oh haha it’s a joke about how late the Operator presser the E-Stop lol.” My dumb self reading this the second time: *“wait a minute...”*

I'm in STL. Almost every time I go to Six Flags St.louis., rides shut down temporarily. We get frustrated watching the coaster we want to ride, go through cycle without passengers. I always tell the kids they're just making sure it's safe. I'll stop getting frustrated, and just be glad they're looking out for our safety. ✌🏾👍🏾🧡🇺🇸

Todd Travis I finally rode super girl on New Year’s Eve because it was under maintenance literally every other time I went lol. Worth waiting though like you said better safe than sorry!

Dude for real, when I worked at Disney we weren’t even allowed to take our hand off of the E stop button when we were at the tower position. That’s why rides always cycle through and why they always go down. If we thought ANYTHING was off we had full permission to stop our attractions.

Briana Zapien At my time in Disney we always E stopped over anything suspicious. The leads didn’t like that and managers got involved on how to suspect if somethings wrong. They literally trained us to do that and we got in trouble for it. Glad i’m gone

@Mazxj Stripes wait.. are you defending the operator?

@Mazxj Stripes what ever you say simp

@Mazxj Stripes how am I a moron? You are defending the operator because she "probably didn't know how to stop the ride" stfu you cant just say that with a straight face and say she was perfectly innocent. Yes it's not entirely her fault the cable snap but still I dont believe the fact that she DiDnT KnOw I FUCKING KNOW what the big red button does and I dont work there and also I would probably will press the button and you know why? Because 1. I'm trained 2. I'm must be cool under pressure 3. I'm not a bitch So ya not the operator fault but she still guilty for the lost limb

There are actually big buttons like that in many places, like train stations, work shops, factories, and things like that. Pretty much any where there is large potentially dangerous moving objects. Typically if there is an accident, you always hit the button. Usually if it is in a public area, there will even be signs and stuff saying to hit the button if there are any problems.

Mazxj Stripes wow you’re extremely stupid. There was a freaking cable loose, and they were told to e stop but they didn’t. There’s no situation where you can take away any culpability of the operator. You are the asshole here.

Ours is Tower of Doom. Same model, opened same year at a different smaller shitty six flags

I agree. I won't go on it.

its fear fall now

I've been on the Hellevator at Six Flags in Jersey I think it was

"This is above my payrate and beyond my expertise"

Operator: yo soo I heard a snap and see a cable dangling, what do I do? 🤦‍♂️ how can people be this dumb

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is why children shouldn't be operating rides. They have no sense of reality ....

spider0804 what if the estop falls off?

@@combive8744 Cant tell if serious...there is always more than one and if the button falls off you would call maintenance to fix it.

That's just what the PR departement has to say. People want to hear that. I remember when a paramedic in my city managed to get himself sued because he accepted an AMA from a clearly intoxicated patient. The department actually sent out a press statement that they would "review their paramedic training" to "make sure paramedics are sensible to the legal challenges sourrounding compentency". I remember us all just having a laugh at that at the station. Like, really? You're starting to tell paramedics that drunk people aren't competent *now* - we never knew... -.-

Apparently he was more focused on the ride operator because, he was a ride operator. He needed to make sure that was held more precedence. LOL

I'd rather believe you (and her) too. But then there are a hundred comments saying that "she made it up to get famous" and "you're a simp (whatever that is) if you believe her". In every single catastrophe or accident video I see, there are a few commenters repeatedly calling BS on everything and "court documents are not good enough". World would be a better place if that cable had decapitated half the commenters in accident and disaster videos. "What's that flying there?" "A severed head." "What happened?" "He called BS one time too many."

I don't want to invalidate her experience but unless she was able to get that heavy metal cord off her neck within seconds, she would have been beheaded if that was true. Sounds like she's was trying to milk her case which I can't blame her, you should be comfortable for life after this.

He said there was no evidence to support it, not that she didn't claim it.

Those last few sentences were so unnecessary. Seriously? The world would be a better place if people were decapitated? Very telling what kind of person you are. Maybe the world would be better without awful people like you.

In this case they didn't even cover the e-stop which at the time of the accident didn't have the in case of emergency written around it. People blame the teenager operator who did eventually hit it but had to call in to find out what an e-stop was and did

@@ayajade6683 exactly. Everyone in the comments is blaming the 15 year old girl, but it's likely she didn't know any better. Some fault goes to her, but it's likely more blame is on her awful manager who never taught what an e-stop is or how to use it, instead demanding it never be used because of ride downtime.

Wow thats just insane. I guess I assumed e-stops were just standard workplace safety. I've never in my career entered the production floor in one of our companies factories, but because of mandatory recurrent training, I know exactly how to identify/use the e-stops and fire equipment, you would think an amusement park would train similar, just crazy.

@@icantthinkofanything798 in that case that sounds like a pile of lawsuits waiting to happen.

There's an emergency! What do we do? Well, you can press the giant EMERGENCY stop button, colored RED for EMERGENCY, which says "in case of EMERGENCY, press the EMERGENCY stop button." I mean, I'm not a rocket surgeon, but maybe EMERGENCY procedures should be initiated when an EMERGENCY is happening. If only we had been better prepared for this EMERGENCY situation. Fucking incompetence. Has nothing to do with being a stupid teenager and everything to do with not being trained correctly. You should have emergency procedure screwed into your head and drilled into your reflexes. What a disappointing tragedy.

@@Alyxandeyr Even then, that is probably not going to work all that well without immense consequences on the company. For this accident, personally, the company will have to pay for any and all medical, funeral, and disability costs on top of a multi-million fine PER HEAD. In this case, on top of all the medical and disability costs the company has to pay for, the company has to pay several million dollars in a fine. This is on top of all other fines. After investigation, the park will be under surveillance for the next two years and must obey every single safety regulation to the letter and the spirit or face further fines. If the company tries to lobby or bribe it away or a major accident of the company's making happens during this time, then their board of directors gets the noose.

@@TheTrueAdept I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying that death and dismemberment is preferable to pushing the emergency stop button? I feel like there's more liability for the company if they don't press the emergency stop button. Negligence, manslaughter, incompetence.. Seems like a lot more punishment than "scared some kids on a ride by pushing the emergency stop button"

@@Alyxandeyr I stated that it isn't going to work when the company can get relatively Scott free. You have to force the company to get punished as hard as possible and kept under intense scrutiny for it to stick.

Six Flags is a huge stain on Kentucky Kingdom's history. They bought the park when they had too many parks to manage and they let it fall into disrepair. Then they cannibalized the park and bailed. It's back open again under new management.

At Six Flags New Orleans my mother and I got on this ride called Catwoman's Whip and our section malfunctioned. It spun in circles at an extreme velocity compared to other segments. It made us nauseous and hurt our necks. When the ride stopped, our harnesses didn't raise up. I threw up on myself repeatedly from a mix of dizziness and concussion. The operators said "we can reboot the ride to get them off, so be happy you're getting a free extra ride!" That was the only time in my life I heard my mom physically threaten someone. They balked at her request to not start up the ride again and called in maintenance that used some kind of Jaws of life contraption to pry us out of the harnesses. I didn't have to go to the hospital, thankfully. We tried to form a class action lawsuit because apparently this ride had this happen multiple times with injuries, but it didn't go through because Hurricane Katrina hit and demolished the park.

It may not be that simple. Certain rides might have points of no return where they cant stop the ride where it is with zero power because it would be dangerous. Or if there is more than one ride compartment and stopping the entire ride would be dangerous for one, but not the other at that moment.

Something similarly nuts happened to me and my friends - we went to an Escape Room a day before it burst to flames and burned 4 teenagers. We could've been those teenagers.

ZendPixie It’s a crazy/sobering feeling isn’t it? Knowing that it just as easily could have been you is a very scary thought! It made me rethink certain rides at certain theme parks after that happened!

@@SovietScotty god, exactly That whole thing with the escape room happened about 2 years ago, but I'm still scared to go another one

Gacha bad, Doom good.

Paola Marin I don’t understand a thing you’re saying, do you mean gacha is bad and doom guy is good?

@@Steven04 that's exactly what they mean. But, this is not the place to hate on gacha

I fucking hate gacha games

Serious Business Well okay that’s your opinion but please keep that to yourself because I don’t know who asked for your opinion

what the fuck? I highly doubt that

@@the1barbarian781 Then you doubt the reports from the investigation.

@@HaydenHatTrick please give evidence

@@the1barbarian781 Can't really be bothered to be frank. If you're that invested in verifying this statement then go find the closing report on the Dreamworld river rapids for yourself.

@@HaydenHatTrick you know that usually the people that make claims are the ones who are responsible for backing those claims up with evidence right

I went the day after the accident. Safest most highly checked day ever because everyone was in a panic to save face, and nobody was there so we could stay on the Ching or T2 like 5 times in a row!

@@scottiemanners After an event like that, I sure as HELL wouldn't go on the next damned day!

I'm sorry

I was there that day it happened left an hour before it happened

Lemme guess you killed your farther to avenge your clan right ?

Thanks that means a lot!

Thanks! I apreciate it!

I 100% agree, I don't know how you aren't up there with Coaster Studios and Coaster Bot

Coaster bot only discusses information about coasters (Stats), parks(history) and such. While this channel clarifies what did happen, how did that happen to reduce stigma around coasters that is caused by the GP media.

it is hard for some people to cope when they cause a fatal injury, or death, to someone.

ya she was probably really embarrassed or regretty or something

Private Jenkins it’s still her job wtf she can not do that she CAN NOT she signed up for the job she knows the rules and concerns

@@ninarossi1630 it is easy to criticize someone in retrospect, but people start breaking down in situations they never planned to deal with. Yeah,sure, amusement park ride accidents happen, but the odds basically slim. And knowing she failed to stop a preventable accident, probably made her feel guilty and shame. For some people, it is hard dealing with causing someone's demise.

Nina Rossi ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT. What a clown

That moment hit me hard ngl

y e s

Man making one of those pre hardmode sucks...

U know it was good when u had that lava charm tho

Bibba and when you mine through water and it turns it into obsidian

He’s said he works at cedar point. :)

Well said.

Except this incident was a real accident

It did completely shut down for a few years, from 2009-2013, reopening in 2014 as Kentucky Kingdom, with Ed Hart returning as owner

@Miss Shaymin it's not very good but there certainly are tons of people around.

Good to know

It did shut down for many years after this

Yep I went there just last year.

Which one did you screw up?

they should feel horrible they had every opportunity to stop this and they even were told to stop the ride and didn’t

@@bog4543 Fuck you. This is on the company. What do you get out of blaming teenagers for this?

@@NavidIsANoob the ride operators didn’t do their job and if they did this could’ve been avoided, it has nothing to do with them being teenagers

@@bog4543 If the company had trained their employees better, this could have been avoided. It has nothing to do with "not doing your job".
