Tragic Yes, But....

From the AP:


"AUSTELL, Ga. - A teenager was decapitated by a roller coaster after he hopped a pair of fences and entered a restricted area Saturday at Six Flags Over Georgia, authorities said.

Six Flags officials are uncertain why the unidentified 17-year-old from Columbia, S.C. scaled two six-foot fences and passed signs that said the restricted area was both off-limits and dangerous to visitors, spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a news release."

How dumb do you have to be to hop 2 fences saying "Restricted Area," "Off Limits" and "Dangerous" before you take a hint? Darwin Award anyone?

Nice way to scar the bystanding friend for life. There were 2 kids who hopped the fence together. Apparently they were both blind. Maybe it was a press stunt for the new batman flick? It was the batman ride... Edited by giant ninja robot

i have 3 matching stories for this

1: My chem teacher showed me an article last year - Some kid was killed by a train in the LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) train depot, because he hopped a fence (with a no trespassing sign on it) and walked around in the train yard, and was subsequently hit by a train. And the parents sued the LIRR. I'm pretty sure the kid was doing nefarious activities.

2: A kid at a school by me was killed as he walked down the the train tracks... we was walking down the tracks with his friend, BACKS to the train direction of that particular track, with an iPod in.... mowed down by the train. How dumb are you?

3: I saw a news report once about a lady who tried to beat a train at a RR crossing on a road. She gunned it, and successfully avoided the closest train. SHe failed to notice the other train coming from the opposite direction, so as he crossed the first track, barely making it in front of the first train, she was broadsided by another train... i think it killed her kid and his friend too.

That made me laugh pretty hard. Too bad her kid and his friend died, though.
