can I just ask..........

"The 65 mph, 4,000-foot-long roller coaster features "floorless" trains that let riders' feet dangle. The first drop is 150 feet."

Why is that in a news report about a man dying?? How sad are these people?

Man, an accident with Scream already. Yes, I know it doesn't have to do with a problem with the ride, but I'm just saying there is already an accident. That's really sad. I wonder why the man didn't move? If he was on the track, I could understand why. But why didn't he just get out of the way?

i can't belive someone would even try to commit suicide. Especially on SFMM newest coaster. I heard that the staff member got killed [xx(]on the helix directlly before the interlocking corkscrews. HOW SAD[|)]

it's sad but sound's like suicide

hmm, that's the way I would wanna die, being hit by a coaster, or having an annurism on one would be fine too, of course this is when I'm like 80 + years old or sumtin. I'm gonna be the oldest person ever on a roller coaster [:)]

talk about a bad report though, 18 roller coasters my ass, try 16, Some of the reports were also really random

there's to place's i'd love to be buried, at home plate at Citizens Bank Park (phillies baseball park) or alongside a rollercoaster

damn, that sucks. now SFMM looks more bad.

Hey paccoaster. It would be cool if you were cremated and put in a place under the seat or something. Or have a row dedicated to you.

oh well, at least she did not Scream [:p]

well in many cases matinence workers where ear gaurds whilst dueing thier duties, so it is possible that she would not have heard the train...although surely you would feel it if you were on the track (which i dont think she was) Im guessing the women would have been standing next to the track and as the BM trains and wider than the track it would have hit her.

Thecool362 - annurism? Piff did you not see the name of my contest track Aneurysm? Also im guessing you dont fully know what it is as you dont need to be 80 to get one...and having an aneurysm pop would be a very painful death

Bad news [:(]

My deepest sympathy for the family of the woman.

why would she be allowed to get close to the track when its running?

Maybe they've made an testride and didn't know that someone was close to the track.

Or she ignored all security warnings at the entrance of the restricted area.

Considering the oldest member of "ACE" is 92 and she still rides on her woodies, you'd have to be older than 80 to be the oldest person on a rollercoaster .

same thing happened at sixflags over georgia. Some guy went to a restricted area for Batman the Ride (inverted coaster) and the train came and hit him. Honestly, how could you not hear the train comming, the ride is so loud. But doesnt b&m put sand in the floorless coasters so they arnt loud? Edge could be right about the ear plugs, but still....the area is restricted, doesnt that mean anything?

I feel sorry for the family of that woman; but why would she go into a restricted area??? Hopefeully tis gets all straightened out soon.

Speaking of the coaster accident, I could of been killed myself years ago but luckily my wrist was smashed between the two wild mouse cars while trying to keep them from colliding.

por woman. hey are you sure that one of the riders legs didnt hit her but really hard not the train. it sounds like suicide if they said she didnt scream cause you would expect her to

No riders were on the ride. The ride was testing when she got killed.

ok....but then how will we know about it??

How is somebody getting killed funny?

Still, I don't find that funny GO. It's never funny when somebody dies. Except when it's a terrorist.

LOL cpfan. What if you or your friend, or your family died? Would you be laughing then? Yes, that was a little foolish for her to get on the track and all that stuff, but it isn't funny that somebody died.
