    It is so sad that somebody died on this. These people who were responsible didn’t even have the decency to take some accountability and even put up a memorial for the boy. Absolutely disgraceful. I feel sorry for the Schwab family who simply wanted to give their children a day out of fun, and due to the incompetence of the creators that boy was decapitated. For them to not even put a memorial up just speaks a thousand words.

    Why would they not raise the height of the netting in the areas where the raft could possibly go airborne? Why even put a net if hitting the net is more dangerous than going airborne?
    They should have designed the slide with a lip on the edge that was narrower than the raft, so the raft couldn't exit the chute. Then equip the raft with a "real" harness like a roller coaster.

    • @loosilu
      @loosilu 10 місяців тому +3

      The fact that they even had netting proves they were fully aware the rafts flew off. They needed an upstop mechanism to keep the raft from flying off, not a series of metal hoops over the slide. What exactly was the netting supposed to do? The second they put up the netting it became priority 1 to never touch it.

    • @scotthayes4135
      @scotthayes4135 10 місяців тому +5

    I successfully avoided having to take physics until I couldn't anymore. Had I not, I would have been just like these people, putting total trust for my life and physical well-being into the hands of the designers of this ride without much reservation. The engineers who designed this had to have cheated in physics class or didn't take it very seriously. Starting with considerations about the extreme height, combined with traveling at a high velocity _IN WATER_ when that's even a bad idea seat-belted inside of a vehicle - only for them to think, _"Yeah, that's a _*_GREAT_*_ idea!"_ What an appropriate name for it, however, Verrückt - "crazy."
    Where are they now and what are they working on these days? It is my understanding their case was dismissed and these guys never had to serve any time in jail.

      @@Theoriginalmartian its not dangerous. The kid was probably too young, small or/and too light for the slide. Thats why they say you gotta be 12 years old and at least 120 cm tall.
      Same can go for too tall and heavy.
      I did a ride for younger kids that i used to ride all the time when i was kid and went cuz of nostalgia when i was like 16 and it was scary as fuck. I started rocking right to left at every turn instead of seamlessly sliding left to right and at the last curve i blasted off the ride. Luckily it was still in the direction of the pool so i landed in water.

    • @loosilu
      @loosilu 10 місяців тому +4

      The intention of the drop is to be a brake. Their fundamental mistake is that they tried to build a rollercoaster instead of a water slide. If you put drops on a water slide you are asking to kill people. They could have used switchbacks to slow the speed, it still would have been the tallest waterslide, and it would have been safe.
