Not to say its the theme parks fault, but still, its amazing how much bad stuff can happen at the parks. I mean sure its the people faults most of the time, but what a sad thing to happen at a happy theme park.

I remember last summer I heard of a girl who got her legs chopped right off riding a ride. Something happened at a Six Flags in Alabama or somewhere near there and a cable snapped on one of the rides and severed the little girl's legs right off and there were other kids sitting next to her on the ride when it happened. Sad stories.
Yea, theres a lot of stuff you dont hear. I had a friend who used to be in one of the bands at Magic Kingdom and he said once one of the other band members got electrocuted on stage and died. They rushed him through the park in one of the tunnels under the park but he didnt make it.
