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.

I know they wouldnt let my son ride alone at one in Corpus because they required at least two rider and 185+ pounds. Im guessing that varies by ride though...

How could SB verify a child's age? It's not like many of them have ID cards, much less a way to carry them with swim trunks.

KCTV's website has removed the age requirement, I guess.

That's sad. He wasn't very head strong to ride that slide under age. He'll never grow up to be the head of a major corporation like the one that owns that water park

Only thing I've read so far is a height restriction.
I can relate. (Present when folks were killed). Things happen in an instant & your whole life is never the same. Dreams, what dreams?

CP is pretty horrible, but this really isn't appropriate. The kid was 12.
