Water Slide That Decapitated Boy Violated Basic Design Standards, Indictment Says

In a rush to build the world’s tallest water slide, the operators of a Kansas park glossed over their own findings that the nearly 170-foot-tall ride had major design flaws, skirted basic engineering standards and sent riders airborne in a way that could injure or kill them, investigators said.

Yet the operators of Schlitterbahn Waterpark of Kansas City, Kan., opened the ride, Verrückt, in July 2014 — only 20 months from its conception to grand opening.

If they have the goods on them, let the legal process take care of it.

“Not only had Tyler ridden the slide numerous times, but, as the state is aware, he had scheduled his wife to ride it on the day of the accident...”

"Curses! Foiled again!"

But seriously, folks should read the whole indictment. It's amazing how reckless these people were. At one point, a rider got injured and was getting treated at first aid, when one of the designers walked up to him, introduced himself, and proceeded to talk about how amazing the ride was - while the guy was still getting patched up.

Honestly, it reads like what I imagine it would be like if Trump designed & operated a water park.
