A young girl of 13 lost both feet at 6 Flags Amusement park yesterday.....same ride at Wonderland shut down for inspection.
Why does this stuff happen? I know we don't know HOW, yet, but to me, there should be NO chance of it happening!

As a parent, this makes me sick to the stomach. That poor child will never be the same. :( :(

Having worked there at Wonderland years ago, I can well imagine how these things happen. Procedures tend to get glossed over in the rush to "keep 'em moving"

From what I read, it was @ Six flags, not wonderland!
They only shutdown "the drop Zone" @ Wonderland to inspect it.

Dude, even if they try, no guarantee that they'll ever work right again ( assuming that the operation to reattach 'em both is sucessful in the first place :ph34r:)

Ah, true, true...
It's like that doctor years ago that proposed as a way to "straighten out my right arm" to loosen the tendons to the point where my right arm would be nothing more than a gate arm ( IE: No bend at the wrist or at the elbow)
I was all like "WTF? Dude I'd rather have what little movement and control that I do have than agree to have less even if it did look better" :rolleyes:

I read recently they re-attached one of her feet, and that she is doing much better then she was earlier. still I kinda feel bad for her as she has a long road to recovery ahead of her.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
