OMG! Roller coasters are unsafe!!!!!!

Some damn good reporting ABC!

Let the fun begin!

Get out of town! Hahahahahahahaha
They're out of their minds.

Clearly ABC did not do THEIR homework to get more information on each incident. Lift Stops are common and absolutely nothing dangerous. It's usually because of a cell phone or camera. This one just looked like a failed block sensor that got tripped. Probably by a bug. I will be calling ABCNews and complaining lol.

More proof that American news reporting is a dead art. Every single story is either "murder, murder, fire, burglary," or "is YOUR family safe?"

If you care so much then don't be a hypocrite and preach homophobia.

First of all, I'm tired of being accused of being intolerant just because I am a Christian. Not all Christians are "OMG, gays are the devil," you know. And second of all, can we please not turn this into another religious discussion?

Those people have no idea what they are talking about.

This is like a justin bieber fan trying to talk about a Slipknot song.

Whats with all the Worlds of Fun and Universal Studios stock footage? The Worlds of Fun stuff was shot in 1998-99, how long have they been holding on to those for a rainy day?

pretty much the same thing, music for pre adolescents.

The guy was missing two legs, it seems like he was prone to being injured as I assume you need both legs as you knee's are used and sort of a wedge (probably not the right word) that keep you in...

And this is no way attacking a legless man. Just saying.

But the being stranded? That's ridiculous. Get over it.

I think all that WOF stuff is up on Youtube/easy to find.

It was for 30 minutes! Hahahaha

What danger??? ABC is so stupid!!!

And to be honest...getting stuck on a roller coaster would make my day...

I love how they make it sound like it's a horrible thing to get stuck on the lift hill.

It was funny when today volcano had a rollback and all the people in the station thought it was the end of the world. Or when on sunday apollos chariot stopped on the lift and was evacuated and everyone was like OMG IM NEVER RIDING THAT ITS UNSAFE IT GOT STUCK lol. (not exaggerating) People are just soo hopelessly stupid these dayz

what the hell are they talking about saying its dangerous to get stuck on top of a rollor coaster, this is going to ruin it for coaster enthusiests

The drive to the park is more dangerous than the park itself, this is madness

Investigators say ''he was wearing a lap-belt''

lol look who's talking.

This is a topic about horrible news reporting on the safety of roller coasters. Please keep it that way.

Yes. I did contribute a piece of commentary to this cause, now what is the point of yours?

I posted the damn topic, gerstl... lol

Oh yeah good point lol.

I tried not to post my full feelings, it's really damn stupid, especially since they pulled ''there is not federal regulation or law'' card and especially the ''is the short thrill worth the risk??'' card... like wowsers.

Roller Coaster's are said to be more safe then your home bath tub. Yea ok a lift stops here and their but this doesn't mean their unsafe. When the man fell from the Superman it was probably because he didn't have any legs so he slipped out.

on topic, it's... ridiculous. They should not have let the man ride, true... but that doesn't say anything about the safety of rollercoasters.

Very unprofessional for a station like ABC to let something opinionated like that air. You could tell that none of those reporters have any interest in riding.
