Welp.. Look like I aint gon be doing this ever.. 2nd thoughts now and I live in Daytona. The slingshot ride looks cool.. But this is Final destination scary. Glad the girls are safe and unharmed.
Last week on Mar 19 they did an inspection and they said the ride was fine. Obviously they must've missed something and whoever inspected it could be in major trouble and be held liable for this. Did anyone notice that in the recent SlingShot videos that it bounced alot and went faster than normal? The girls were around my age too! :( The Florida Department of Agriculture is consulting an investigation with the ride's manufacturer, Funtime, to see what may have caused the cable to snap. All four SlingShot rides in Florida are closed until further notice.
@@Beenisweenisyup. That can happen with roller coasters too. They can be perfectly safe, until one bad imperfection from the staff can cause it to all go to $hit
Good thing they are building a better, world's tallest, and safer one not too far away in Orlando at Icon Park. Can't wait to ride it. It's way more up-to-date and safe.
I work at the mineral store in oldtown and I usually go get checkers and watch people go on the SlingShot and Vomatron. Vomatron is also closed probably because they are by the same manufacturer.
If it happens very few in between and specially a different location you can't blame all the rides for one, we need to ban planes too ... that has way more tragedies than an amusement ride.
@@AdverbsAndNouns There dangerous to begin with. A lot of people have died the past 5 years because of these extreme rides. And kid employees who also secure the riders. I wouldn't go on one for anything.
The funny thing is that I was just there last night,
Then I get home and see on the news, that this happens two hours after I left
Fr😂
You lie
@@youngac448 What do I have to lie for? The accident happened two hours after I left
I hope for the best to both these teens
I bet they won’t ever ride a slingshot no more
Lmao survive a whole panoramic only to die because Chad forgot to check the cables.
😂😂 Ik I wouldn’t
I went on it sunday lol
@@dominiquexo4772 u 🧢 vid pic or it neva happened

The theory is that it was a failure on the actually ride operators not checking the cables between rides, and the cables got twisted.

That’s crazy for how much I wanted to always get on that ride and good thing I never did 🥺 that’s scary
I went on that ride like 15times
when did this happen
This is sad 😞 the rides have to break thank god they made it safe 😊

This comment aged horribly.
@@warmateo6261 Yeah. It's horrible what happened, however, I was talking about the slingshot.
As if this ride wasn’t terrifying enough

I was there, my friend wanted to get on this ride, after seeing this, it’s a no for me and will always be a no.
They seriously need to close this ride. 5 years ago same thing happened, but I don’t remember where.

is that fun spot
That’s crazy, I’m on UA-cam searching for my slingshot video and I see this after I rode that thing 3 times today, that’s crazy
I was on there this morning😭
I will never get on this ride my luck all the cables will break and I would land on Micky Mouse’s wild ride 🙌🙌
I was at fun spot that night and was actually thinking about doing it. Thank God I didn't lol
That is so scary
I’m getting on it tonight lol
Some of these modern era rides are dangerous anyway. To much shock to the body.
What's crazy is that you hear more about these rides then the regular carnival rides
@@AdverbsAndNouns There dangerous to begin with. A lot of people have died the past 5 years because of these extreme rides. And kid employees who also secure the riders. I wouldn't go on one for anything.
@@The53rrc right?? I never really hear about carnival rides going awry.. and they are operated by crazy carnies
@@The53rrc me either I'm not a ride person. I'm more for food and simple pleasures
I think the SlingShot reopened today because they posted more rider videos.
I'll ride it after they fix it
Let's hope the SkyCoaster doesn't have an incident like this.
I think it's harder for it to have an incident like that, but either way this things too few in between.
This was shocking I went on this ride before
Chin chin!! Lawsuit!! That's why they call it Old Town!! Everything is old!! Smells old and rotten! And everything breaks down!
Wow
Shout out to K town but glad the teens r ok
Worked at old town long ago 😆 place is run down
That is crazy and that is why I do not every want to go on it
Nah say goodbye to my favorite ride in my town
That’s why I don’t go on those damn rides, GET UR MONEY SIS
Im never going on that friggin ride; not for a million dollars; maybe 5 million; no way sorry. Never been on that throw up hell hole ride either.
I road that like one week ago before
I just went on it sunday
I went on that 😮
But I love the ride
Oh my
Join the Trend, hire Ben Crump and Sue the company😂
I wish that this didn't happen
I was there saw what happened
Scary
I got on it and nothing happened to me
Adrenaline fools play stupid games, win stupid prizes
You don’t win prizes going on a ride
Hahahaha always why I tell people not get on that
Again fucj that ride
We’re getting ready to head here now, and I see this video lol, how comforting.
