Before I start, I want you guys to take a second and to like our Facebook page and to
follow us on twitter both links are in the description below. James and I decided that
we
will start doing giveaways and the only way to be informed about these giveaways are by
following us on both social medias. Okay let's get started.
number 5
The Batman Roller Coaster by Six Flags situated at Georgia is considered one of the most
popular and funnest ride. However, it was a different story on June 8th 2008. Asia Leeshawn
Ferguson who was 17 years old at the time rode the batman ride and due to the speed,
his
hat was lost in midair. As soon as the ride ended, the 17 year old attempted to retrieve
his hat which was located across a fence that marked "restricted area." Unfortunately that
was not enough to stop Asia. He was able to jump over the restricted fence and that's
when
he found himself facing the fast ride going at 50 MPH towards him. The teen was instantly
decapitated by the ride.
number 4
On June 3rd 2011 the Pleasant Tech Academy took its students to a field trip at the Morey's
Mariner's Landing Pier in New Jersey. The young 11 year old Abiah Jones who was riding
the
ferris wheel by herself fell about 156 feet to her death, that's the equivalence of a
ten
storey building. How she slipped out of her seat is unknown as the doors of the seats
open
inward which makes it difficult for someone to climb out.
number 3
In 1951, Battersea Park was the host for a fun fair as part of a Festival for Britain.
May
30th 1972, what should be a day for people to enjoy, laugh and celebrate turned into
a day
of terror. The fun fair included an infamous ride called "The Big Dipper" a three car
wooden train which rode at 50 mph. The ride was always the main spotlight and brought
a
long line up of people, mostly children. That day 31 people had boarded the ride. The ride
was going as planned until it reached 15 metres above the park. Suddenly, the train
detached from its drive chain earlier than it should have, the operator in charge could
be
seen struggling to activate the breaks. The train slipped backwards and hit a tight turn
and derailed from its tracks. Two teenage boys including an eight-year-old girl died
at the
scene...two other children died later. The park amassed several charges including
manslaughter, the ride was deemed as a "death trap."
number 2
The Mindbend is the world's largest indoor roller coaster and it's situated in Edmonton
mall in Alberta, Canada. Its first operation date was on March 16th 1986 and everything
went well, but exactly three months later the unexpected occured. Upon completing the
second inverted loop, missing bolts on the left wheel assembly from one of
the bogie caused the ride to disengage from the track. This lead
the train to stall at the top and sliding backwards finally crashing into a concrete
pillar. Three people died from the accident and one was injured with his legs pointing
opposite directions.
number 1
In a small town of Berdsk in Siberia is where the fatal death of six year old Sasha
happened. The young six year old hopped he fence of an amusement park and wentstraight
to
the park's Ferris Wheel. The park was closed at the time and no one was there to operate
the control system, but Sasha somehow was able to turn the machinery on. He then hopped
in
one of the seat of the ferris wheel and rode in it. As bystanders watched, the six year
old
decided to switch seats during mid-ride by the time he realized that he couldn't, it
was
already too late. The ferris wheel was already gone too high and Sasha was left hanging to
a metal bar 15 metres high. Bystanders just stood there and laughed some even took a video.
About 5 seconds of hanging on, Sasha fell to his death. I decided to not post the video
here as it would go against community guidelines on YouTube. But, if you look find it
around the web, you will see the kid screaming for his dear life seconds before his fall.
