Boy Decapitated at Six Flags Amusement Park


Recommended Posts

I disagree with the mistake bit. And I'd also like to point out that nobody drinking with me drives afterwards. I see to that. If someone drinks and drives and ****s themself up, they had it coming and I can't be bothered to feel too badly for them - it's not acceptable and is completely stupid and isn't a mistake you make if you choose to do it. You seem to be making some wild assumptions about myself, or else I just don't get your point and how it relates to this story.

-Spenser

I made no assumptions to you; I was speaking in general terms. I asked you the questions given society's acceptance standard, as I pointed out. I never said you thought any of those things (Y)

100,000 morons - 1 = 99,000 morons.

We've still got a way to go.

You wertainly must be one of them - look at your maths! ;)

In fairness, the blame is his, but it doesn't "serve him right". If an area is THAT dangerous - you need more than a fence and a sign. Best to come of it is that it may serve as a lesson to others and safety will be increased.

Funny how most replies go along the lines of "serves him right!". FFS it's an amusement park and the victim's a teen. That fence is a vertical pile of fail, not tall enough without barbed wire on top.

We've all been teens once. You'd be ****ting me if you were to say that most teens you've knew and seen were mature and followed rules and the law from A to Z and etc, yeah ****in right :rofl:

I'm not defending the dude. He was clearly stupid to go in a dangerous zone, but does that warrant one's death? It's not like it was an adult who can think twice before doing something, it was a teen. Yeah some of us were mature in those ages too, but again it would be a blatant lie to say that most teens are. Just remember your high school years.

FAIL.

followed rules and the law from A to Z

He went over a fence, tried to grab someone's foot on a ride that was going really, really fast. He was 17!! Nearly the age of majority.

You need a ****ing sign?????

Yeah, it warrants his death - why the hell not? This could be someone who could grow up and end up doing your taxes, or God forbid, performing major surgery.

Only because they consider themselves holy and nothing bad can happen to them.

Wait, what? In what religion on the face of the earth do people believe nothing bad can happen to them? Regardless of how you feel about religion, that's just a stupid statement.

Plus one. (Y)

Also I fail to see how the local church has anything to do with this other than they happened to shuttle these 'kids' (for lack of a better word) to Six Flags. What if they were just a regular pack of teens who just decided to go there by themselves? Then what will it be? "Oh they were just a bunch of idiots" instead of "Oh, they got brainwashed into thinking God will save them...." But whatever, some people just itch for religious bashing. :rolleyes:

Your math skills put you right in that same category.

:laugh: Leave him alone, his keyboard needs some unsticking.

Ok first off it is kind of funny it happened to someone part of a church group. Only because they consider themselves holy and nothing bad can happen to them. 2nd Have any of you actually watched some of those real decapitation videos? Well I have and the fact that what happened to him happened that quickly, its all good.
look, god needed him for some deeds in the afterlife, this was the quickest way he thought he could get the kid up there.

So, Darwin 1, God 0

...it was a church group

just some examples of how nice people are ^

such a shame.

I love these people bashing the ones saying he deserved it. He did deserve it. He probably didn't know he would be killed, let alone injured, but he jumped 2 fences to grab somebody's foot when they were going ~55mph. You've got to be completely freaking retarded to think that was a good idea.

I blame his parents. They obviously didn't raise their kid to have any common sense.

good. at least you will be confined to your home sitting at your computer.

why??? did you super-glue my chair? :3

I guess that kid never heart of Newton's Laws of Motion:

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

why did he need to know that??? Just blame the white man :p

I guess you are one of the 99,000?

Um, this is Neowin. Supporting religion is heavily frowned upon. If you want to fit in and be cool you must do no such thing...

Ya except this incident had little to do with religion..... I mean, he was with a religious group, but nothing he learned through them made him do what he did. It really is a shame...... And for others here to insinuate that religious people think they can't die is ridiculous. Everyone dies..... what's to debate is where u go after u die :p . Anyway, screw the religious part of this thread. It's irrelevent. Its a real shame, what happened. No he didn't deserve it, but yes he had something coming to him by trying to grab the foot of someone going like 60MPH or however fast those rollercoasters go these days. Hope people learn from it and never do it again. I hope the boy is at peace wherever he is. And I pray for peace for his family and friends as well.

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
