It has a full list of injuries, which are 14 in roughly 6 months of operation, some of which were very serious and one of which was obviously a decapitation, as well as a description of just how poorly designed the ride was.

I mean imagine being strapped on a ride with a close relative and then see him get decapitated&get stuck close to the headless body.  Sweet bus, that kid is going to need years of therapy

I definitely remember first learning about Verruckt and Schlitterbahn in general from such shows, though I didn't know that the ride was built specifically to get on that show.

In short. Travel Channel leads to decapitating kids at high speed

IIRC when the kid was decapitated,  his head became a projectile and broke the jaw of the woman sitting behind him.

I honestly can’t read this. When I reached the section on injuries, I had to back out. I can’t believe this was happening to children! All they wanted was a fun ride, but instead they got crippled for life. How are you supposed to know that there aren’t more rides like this, where they coverup the apparent danger of it?

Right off the bat the designer dropped out of high school with no engineering experience.

On the other hand, when did the forum get a wiki?
