Child dies at Schlitterbahn in KCK
This is horrifying. Supposed to be a press conference soon with more details. Rumors seem to indicate it happened on the Verrukt, the world's tallest waterslide.

Was wondering same thing earlier. They worry about the total weight, but no stated rules on how it's distributed.

I guess I should have used the smiley or something to make it clear that I wasn't a gold digging asshole. I said that with sarcasm and was making the point that the second thing everyone starts talking about after they say "what a tragedy" is "how much do you think they will bank?" |

has it been confirmed the boy was beheaded?
any news i have read, only states he was killed. my point is, due to the millions of dollars a park like this will lose in attendance, if everyone knew the 'manner in which life was taken', impacts tourism. the media bias on this one clearly favors the park. at least from this side of the pond. no one is being told the truth here. |

All that's been released is 'fatal neck injury '
Although many have implied beheading. City, Kan., police on Monday night said Caleb Schwab died from a fatal neck injury while riding the 168-foot-tall Verrückt water slide at Schlitterbahn water park on Sunday. Caleb, 10, was with two women who were not related to him in a boat on the Verrückt. About 2:30 p.m., an off-duty police officer who was working at the park called dispatch that an incident occurred and he needed help. Kansas City, Kan., police and fire departments went to the park and found Caleb dead from a fatal neck injury in the pool at the end of the ride. The two women in the boat sustained minor facial injuries and treated at local hospitals. The incident remains under investigation by the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department’s Major Case Unit. Police ask anyone with information to call 913-573-6030. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local...#storylink=cpy
