Did anyone hear about the lady who died after riding the Teacups at SFMW! This isn't good. Markey will have more evidence that rides aren't safe. You can read the article here

Yeah, I heard about it on the stupid news segment of my local radio show in Va yesterday morning. They mentioned Goliath again too, highlighting recent problems with parks. Sad thing is, they were making comical jokes about this fatality...sad, but they make a living doing that stuff.

Shocked they didn't mention S:ROS. Oh well.

Didnt it have something to do with her brain? I wonder though how that ride can kill someone. Mabe the ride was spinning to fast.

It was probably the same situation as thr lady who died on Goliath, she probably has a preexisting condition and the ride just made it worsen.

Man...I can feel her pain. I hate the teacups. My worst ride overall. Because of teacups, I don't ride any spin and hurls anymore. I hate that spinning.

How can you feel her pain? People no longer alive have no pain! I also don't like teacups or spider rides, spinning is really pretty pointless, it's boring and it can make you nauseous(sp). I like scramblers though.

I don't like teacups either. This is just another thing to add on a terrible year for rides.

I love teacups. My friends and i had it going so fast once that we were being thrown around the teacup. it was insane, and I wasnt a bit dizzy after getting off.

Those rides are just nauseating. I remember riding one as a kid and it was way too easy to fall out because they did not have a door on the entry point. I flew all over the ride, just waiting to fall onto the track.
