Dats a lawsuit ‼️😭 My anxiety can’t handle this

I worked at a Six Flags, and one of my friends worked what was a new stand up roller coaster, She was working the day a lady decided the safety harness was too tight and loosened it during the ride, the lady flew off and passed away. It was horrible, the operator never recovered from the guilt she felt, Even though it was proven she had correctly harnessed the lady in. The ride was never reopened and was removed from the park. I know that the operators had gone through almost a month of training, before the park opened for the season (They started training Mid March for end of April opening) Overall it was horrible for all the employees, but the operators of that roller coaster, never returned to work, although they were paid for the whole summer, and therapy was offered to all employees to deal with the aftermath.

Hey Snerixx, typically anything lost on a roller coaster can't be recovered till the end of day when they shut the rides down. No exceptions.

"must stand for 8 hours" in my country we have a law that every employee in any workplace needs a chair, ride operators have chairs

Found an article about the guy who hit his leg on that large swing ride. It was at Lingyan Mountain. He broke his leg and had to get surgery but ended up okay

Carowinds is a park I grew up going to. The Fury is a lot of fun. I’ll go on it again once it’s fixed. From what I understand, the reason the crack got so bad was because the inspection cameras made the crack look like a shadow. I also believe they stated they are improving the camera system.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only who gets stuck on water rides while having a fear of drowning

Some of these ride malfunctions are Final Destination 3 levels of terrifying.

I love that people jumped to save the riders……there is good in humanity!!!

Why would you jump into a lake with live dangerous animals? Death wish much?

That first one I'dve been like "Nah, let Darwin work." They don't give a crap about your personal items they just don't want someone else on the ride getting smacked in the face by your personal object

As an avid Busch Gardens Tampa enjoyer, I loved hearing your opinion on the rides and the alligator story. I personally love Serengeti Flyer and have gone on it multiple times already.

I remember hearing of one case of a honeymoon couple at a ride at Paramount's Great America. She lost her hat on the ride, and he scaled two fences in order to get it. As he stood up with it, he was hit in the head by the feet of the people on the ride (it was one of those hanging rides) and was killed. The impact broke the leg of the woman on the ride.

The people in the first one as well as the dude who noticed the pillar saved countless lives and are legit heroes. Who knows what could've happened if they hadn't stepped in to help. Especially whoever initially jumped on the first ride like you had to have so much faith that enough people would follow suit else you'd just tip with the ride and have endangered yourself too. Lowkey restores my faith in humanity.

When I was a kid, I was on a ride that was basically a four person carriage that swung around. I got motion sick from running around to every fast ride I could, and being a dumb kid, I leaned outside the carriage instead of inside. I just remember kids running and screaming from the flying vomit (which is pretty funny in hindsight). My mom tried to get them to stop the ride, but there was no way to stop it in the middle. She talked to the owner (it was at a small local amusement park), and made the point that sure I was just motion sick, but what if someone was on it with a real injury, like a heart attack. That ride was gone by the next time we were there.

7:11 i actually lost my glasses on a rollercoaster when i was little, i don't remember where, because no one told me to take them off. It took months for them to get recovered and by then i already had a new pair with a newer prescription

A child was hit by a cellphone on a roller-coaster at Lake Winni in Rossville, GA, on July 4th. Both a child and the mother had cellphones on the ride they both got loose. The child's phone hit another child, and the mother went into the Lake.

Here’s my second comment, as a ride operator you are trained on every ride you operate by someone who knows the ins and outs of the ride. Each ride is inspected by 3 people every single day 1. Maintenance 2. A supervisor 3. The operator of the ride These rides are safe and statistically speaking you will not get seriously injured on rides at a trusted amusement park. I can’t go into detail on things that go wrong with rides but be assured if something goes wrong then the operator is trained to shut down the ride, call a supervisor and the situation will be fixed. Generally it’s the operator’s responsibility to make sure everyone on the ride is safe with how they operate it and follow procedure, but if guests do things that are not smart and go against the policies of the ride/park it is generally the guests fault since generally it is out of the control of the employees (not to say you don’t prevent these things from happening in the first place)

The alligators took one look at him and said to each other, “don’t eat that. It tastes like douche.”

I got on a slide at Water Country, one where you cross your arms and go straight down. I was in a bikini, and the things that connect the segments of the slide left a giant scar on my back for a week or two. Thankfully that's the worst I've been through, I'm still a huge nerd for rollercoasters malfunctioning and stuff for some odd reason lol.

i went to six flags once and when i was on a ride it malfunctioned and went to fast. i was 9 at the time and the malfunction was obvious as the back derailed. nobody was harmed however many people tried to press charges. i was the only minor on at the time. my parents were not financially ready to press charges so we couldnt. i never went back to that park ever. earlier today i can to find out it fully derailed and someone got decapitated on the ride. this could have all been avoided if they properly maintained the ride after the first incident

My last time on tower of terror, the seatbelt was faulty,it was extra loose and I couldn’t tighten it, when the crew member came around to check they just passed me like they didn’t even see me,so here is me clinging to others and the seat so I wouldn’t die,never going on that ride again I’m so scared

Aquaduck rider here! I'm guessing there might have been a momentum issue as that ride does have a height requirement. Never saw that happen on my cruise but definitely seems like a thing that could happen. Have also seen others record the ride with a GoPro. You do need to have it secure to your body (think wrist strap) but filming is allowed. Edit to add: The ride operator at the top also has 4 different cameras to watch so they can keep tabs on riders and space them out accordingly.

the ride at 6:10 is actually a ride called "the fly" at Canada's Wonderland, it's the same ride model as sand serpent at Busch Gardens

I worked at Canada's Wonderland in Ontario Canada back in the 90s. Emergency stop buttons, DO emergency stop. Like, immediately. Like, people may get whiplash cause it stops so fast, but it's preferrable to death. And yes, we did daily inspections of the rides. Multiple times. And the ride operators, they are watching for two things, bad behaviour, but more importantly, something going wrong. I find it so weird that there have been so many incidents this year at amusement parks. Cause they did not mess with safety checks back when I was working there.

The Three Caballero Mexico ride is unironically my favorite ride in Epcot.

*"I'm on trend with... trendy things!"* LOL, yes!! 😄

The ride from the phone falling is actually Canada's Wonderland "The Fly" I see people do this often, but i can tell because you can see the mountain in the video that is in the center of the park :) Honestly it's meant for kids and will give you whiplash XD

That clear tube where the lady got stuck literally version 109 of a recurring dream I have. And yes. I dream all 171 versions in one dream, simultaneously, like a multiverse of Nope. . The go pro water slide thing: "Oh, we don't want you filming & advertising how much fun we are, instead, you can advertise how we put you in danger, & provide evidence for a lawsuit!" 😤 Real brain power move there.

For the non water slide you must be tall with enough weight to propel yourself forward so that's why she got stuck

My mom used to work at an indoor theme park, she was a mascot. once she was helping kids on a ride but the ride caught fire and they all had to evacuate

I went on a ride that I didn’t know flipped upside down. My glasses fell off my face cause they were an old pair and I hadn’t gotten new ones yet. The ride was one that was just in a little area and the attendant picked up my glasses for me.

TWO FUN STORIES! The first one! When I was around 10 years old, I went to a carnival with my aunt's neighbor's because their kids were around my age. I went onto the chair swing ride for the first time with them and liked it, so I went on again alone. The ride operator was allowing kids to kick the empty chairs. One of which hit me just above my eye and knocked me out. Yes, my mom sued. I'm pretty sure they kept the carnival going after it. Story two! I used to be a ride operator for a small theme park in my area. We have that dragon ride for kids. there is literally almost no training that goes into it. You get like 1 day of training on the rides to show like how to turn them on and off, where the emergency stop is, and in the roller coaster's case, how to use the brakes because the brakes are manually done by the operator.

SAM!!! I need more of the series!!!!

I'm going to the waterpark in two days and now I'm scared of getting stuck in the slide 😭

One of my favorite rides at Worlds of Fun is called "The Patriot". The car of people is suspended from above, so there's no floor and the riders' feet are left dangling. The ground below the ride was always littered with lost shoes (mainly sandels).

Approximately 1 roller coaster accident happens every 15.5 million per year in the US. These malfunctions rarely happen with only 4 deaths happening per year. It's still way safer than driving or even flying in a plane.

And this is why I have trust issues!! And hate rollercoasters

I love how you posted this the night before we’re leaving NH to go to Disney/Universal for a week 😂 perfect timing!!

The first video is a perfect example of why they changed car owners manuals... 30 years ago the manual told you how to give your car an oil change... now it tells you not to drink the battery acid.. 😮

I have a carnival ride story and I am fortunate that it was not too bad. I was on one of those claw rides that a lot of boardwalks and carnivals have. Mid-ride, I realize every time I am facing the ground, the harness would loosen slightly. I tried to tell myself I was ok and the ride was made to hold people bigger than me, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it was going to give and I would be dangling from the seat or fall from it. I was pulling the harness down/closer to me the entire time, pulling harder when I was facing the sky. When the ride was ending, I was about to convince myself it was all in my head. Then, I noticed my harness was the only one to not lift up when all the others did and I couldn't get it up myself. The operator had to really pull it off of me. That confirmed that there was actually something wrong with my seat and something could have happened. I didn't hear of any incidents happening with that ride, but I don't think it was brought back the following year. I only stick to the fast, grounded rides at carnivals now

My husband put his phone and portable charger In his back pocket on a roller coaster at Six Flags. The heavy portable charger hit my hand during a turn and I caught it but we were never able to get the phone it’s lost somewhere at Six Flags.

i once went in a rollercoaster with my cousin when she was 18 and i was 9, i was really excited to get on so she forgot her phone was in her back pocket. the phone fell out (obviously) and they had to stop the ride for a good 2 hours to get it back. it was face down on concrete and the screen was shattered but it still worked. the funny part to me is that her mother was more worried about her social media streaks then the actual phone itself 😭

Remember in 2008 when the teenager was killed by the Batman roller coaster when he went underneath it to retrieve an item he dropped? I was at the same Six Flags two months later. I decided not to ride the Superman coaster (because you hang parallel to the ground and I got paranoid.) So I waited for my friends at the exit walkway next to the gift shop. Part of the fence surrounding the ride was next to the walkway. A couple was walking toward me and they stopped next to the fence gate near me. I heard them talking; the guy said he was going to go in and look for the keys he dropped on the ride. Me, thinking of the teen who was just killed doing the same thing, started to panic and tried talking him out of it. He didn’t listen and opened the gate and walked in (Why was the gate unlocked??). As I started to look around for a staff member, one of them showed up and told him to get out. The relief I felt…I thought that dude was going to die like the one 2 months earlier. Although the Superman coaster doesn’t dip down as low as the Batman coaster, it was still so scary to think of this guy looking for his keys underneath a freaking roller coaster. And yes, I did ride the Batman coaster that day. It was very somber thinking of the young man who died.

Great now I never want to go on any water slide or roller coaster every again.

Rocking the barbie aesthetic girl 💃 (lmao wrote anesthesia ar first) these rides give me so much anxiety as an adult 😭

The fact that you made this video right now is so weird. This last month a theme park here in Sweden named ”Gröna Lund” have had 4 accidents!! The first was a roller coaster that derailed and got stuck, three people fell out of it and a woman died and nine more people got injured. The second was an employee that got hit in the head by an attraction when she was picking up a phone a visitor had dropped, she got a concussion but was otherwise fine. The thing with that accident was that the employee operating the attraction, had given her green light to go and get the phone. The third and fourth accidents was within 24 hours of eachother and at the same attraction! Two different women got hurt in the parks funhouse. One fell in the stairs and one got hurt on a flying carpet. FOUR ACCIDENTS IN ONE MONTH! And one death! It’s so scary and the fact that you made this video now is a coincidence. Stay safe!

I was just in NC two weeks ago and actually saw the broken pillar of the Fury when I went to Carowinds, I have a picture of my dad and sister on the ride literally one year ago. So crazy to think it could’ve broken well before the time the guy took that video 😯

As someone who works at an amusement park, people do dumb things like this all day everyday. If something falls off we do recover it for the most part. Our park isnt the largest, and the rides (besides the coasters) are fairly easy to recover items, but it can take some time since we have a procedure for it.

My husband has a Donald Duck hat that he has covered in Donald Duck pins. Several years back we were riding Splash Mountain at Disney World and he forgot to take his hat off. It flew off his head, into the water during the final big drop. We thought he had lost it for good. Before we left the resort to go home, we did go to the main lost and found for Disney to check if it might have been found or retrieved from the ride somehow. No luck. We left our information (name, address and phone number) just in case it turned up. Acouple months later we received a package from Disney World with my husband's hat. I couldn't believe they found it, let alone were able to match it up to us. I'm sure they get thousands upon thousands of reports of lost things. My husband was so happy and to this day remembers to take his Donald hat off befor getting on a ride 😊

Just wanted to say your videos always make me so happy! Even the ones that make me dizzy and wanting to puke like this one... 😆

when i was 7 and my brother was 10, we went on our local fairs "til-a-whirl" (super spinny ride based on momentum) and the 1 bar didnt latch on anything, so instead of it being in front of us, securely. it was on our laps, loosely not securing us at all.

My friends swimsuit got stuck on a bolt on a waterslide at a waterpark. It freaked her out!

Random citizen: I am concerned for your safety! Idiot: Another karen!!

Literally had my head between my knees for most of this video lol why do I do this to myselfffff 😂

3:49 rare footage of people helping each other

For the Carowinds ride, those rides are generally pretty overbuilt so in terms of safety with one of the supports broken like that, it is extremely unlikely that the track would break under the short amount of time it was operating like that. The main reason for having supports as frequently as they do, is because it reduces strain on the track improving the longevity and reducing maintenance costs for the ride. Theory I've heard is that the foundation for the pillar settled and put extra strain on the part which caused the crack to form. That particular manufacturer has built hundreds of rides and this is the first time something like this has happened on any of their rides as far as I am aware. My understanding as well is cracks like that start pretty small and will progress pretty slowly, but as they open up they progress faster and faster. Seeing as that was later in the day, its pretty likely that that morning, the crack was still pretty small.

I used to work at Disney and am so grateful I was never a ride operator. They have the hardest job and take the most crap.

A crack in the roller coaster?! That's not a crack, that's a freakin' break!

when i was a kid i almost fell out of the rocking ship ride. If my mother hadn't caught a hold of me i would have. Still my favorite ride at the fair though!

That slingshot looks like one of those cheap toy yoyos you get from goodie bags

On rides, there are signs that if you lose something on the ride, you aren't getting it back. It's on you to secure all your stuff. So this guy didn't get his phone back. lol That'll teach him.

18:54 MY BROTHER WENT THERE A FEW MONTHS AGO ON A SCHOOO TRIP!!! HIS FRIENDS WERE ON IT TOO!!!

New fears unlocked🔓 (btw, I'm mainly talking about the broken stuff and the slides)

I feel so German for saying this, but if it's not TÜV -geprüft I'm not getting on it😂

One time my friend was on a roller coaster that went very fast and well, her wallet fell out of her pocket, but by some miracle, some man who was sitting in the back of the train thing was able to catch the wallet and then gave it back to my friend after the ride had ended.

on a field trip, someone lost a whole visa gift card at universal and they couldn’t do anything lol (it was the mummy, indoors, so might b that..)

When you were on the Fury in Carowinds days before the news mentioned the huge crack: 😃👍

this is why i don’t go any of rides at all because i scared of high and scary rides like them too-

The giant swing off the cliff, if you pause it after the collision or whatever, the lady's leg looks like a fricking limp balloon. All the way down to the foot, it's basically flat and floppy. That thing is _shattered_ all the way down 😖

LOVEEEEE the puffballs!

I’m 12 and recently I went to a theme park called kings dominion and I went to soaks city the water park in it and I was there with my friend and I went on the water rides and when I was on one I randomly got stock door a few seconds I didn’t freak out and acted fast to push myself from my position and thankfully started moving again I’ve only told my friend who I was with and haven’t told anyone else yet but I’m just happy that I acted fast since it was a water ride I just needed to push and I would go The sand serpent ruined or whatever it’s called we have a ride called as Apple zapple it’s similar to that basically the same thing

Watching this again 😂 my favourite coaster called Pantheon has a display case with 6 broken phones just to show what happens when you ignore the signs and i cant get over how funny it is

My dad works at a Cedar Fair Amusement Park, which is the same company that owns that one ride that was cracked. Where dad works, he said that they have to inspect the rides every day.

Im from NC with the Carowinds ride, and they didn't notice until someone pointed it out, then didn't seem to care too much about the safety of it.

I had to walk down a slide with my 2 year old nephew after the water was switched off to the slide. There was no one checking if people were on the ride before the water was shut off.

Side Note, that ride at Carowinds is built by a company called B&M, who has a perfect track record, which makes me think that the park would do less inspections

I worked at carowinds in college and they do camera inspections and tests. I heard that there was an issue with it looking like shadow originally (I’m thinking when it was a fine line crack). I think that was the explanation everyone got online

I was just looking at your page and waiting for a new video! Amazing timing

I wonder if part of the Disney slide experience is a pause just before the big drop.

I worked at a six flags one summer (not operating rides, I was one of the poor schleps at all the booths/kiosks everyone ignores as the walk through the park). Honestly, it was a rare day one of the coasters didn’t break down, though more often than not they’d break down in the gate, not in the middle of a run, so it wasn’t like they were pulling people off every day. They did have ambulances parked underneath the wooden coaster all the time though because those wooden coasters are garbage and are the most likely to have someone come off with a neck or back injury.

My claustrophobia could never

I've never dropped anything off a ride, but I was hit with something that flew off!!

For the video with the GoPro on the Aquaduck it looks like they didn’t have the proper momentum going through the dip causing them to get stuck, but normally there is enuough space to push yourself out from inside the intertube

Also this video is a perfect combination of human stupidity but also humans helping other humans and I love it ❤❤❤❤❤

I used to ride the dragon kiddie coaster until I couldn't anymore at the age of 12 honestly miss it because it was the only coaster I could handle

Your very funny Snerixx! I love your vids!

I can't wait till next Friday luv your videos!

My hat came off on a legoland ride and I caught it midair lol

I think that was the Hull slingshot snap. Apparently its happened a few times. Hull fair is amazing and rides malfunctioning doesn't happen very often thankfully 😅

The employee isnt responsible for the ride flying off, the point pf a corporation existing is so that the entity itself is responsible not an individual worker who doesnt have control over how the ride was built improperly

You are right that lady was probably crazy drunk because it's Epcot

People be trying to make Tampa the Florida of Florida. 😂

best dog mom to exist i swear❤

My anxiety and blood pressure this whole video:📈📈📈📈📈📈

That first guy is a perfect example of men misusing “Karen”. People telling you not to jump into an enclosure with wild predators is just a normal person, you’re the one being stupid 😂

They are getting a lot of reports on these rides because heat around the US has been record highs. Electronics and heat don’t mix well.

It looked to me that that persons leg was dangling at a weird angle after the accident on the swing one. Did anyone else notice that? I’m really hoping their shoe just came loose and not that their foot came loose from their leg. 😳

I went to a fair with my siblings and cousins (and my aunt and uncle, as we were all minors) once, and we all split up in pairs to do different rides and such. Well I was with my cousin and she wanted to do this one ride where it was a boat that rocked back and forth really far (so the seats on either end would be turned 90+ degrees, basically). I really didn’t want to do it because I’m afraid of heights, but I had to stay with her because I was the older and more responsible one of our pair. So we went on the ride and my cousin of course picked one of the seats nearest to the end of the boat. THERE WERE NO SEAT BELTS. There was literally just a bar across your lap that you held onto. Now, I’m a small person, so there were several inches between the bar and my thighs, and I had to hold onto that bar for dear life at the peak of the ride because I could have actually fallen out. I felt myself rise up off the bench a few times. And we were at LEAST 20 feet in the air, probably more (my depth perception isn’t great). I had a panic attack and told my cousin that I would never ride it again. The rest of the fair was decent, but that one ride has slightly scarred me. We did go on some other (more calm) high rides, but yes, I am still afraid of heights.

Got stuck on Toad's Wild Ride at Disney Land at a point where they deemed it unsafe for my son, ex husband and me to climb down. We had to wait for them to restart the ride. Also got stuck at the first incline on the Judge Roy Scream at Six Flags Over Texas and I hate heights but I love Roller coasters! Still!
