Sad news to hear another accident but looks more like the kid's fault as he leaped over the fence only to get struck by a on coming coaster.

Why did they need to mention the S:TOP accident at the end of the article? It has nothing to do with this accident.

Media is retarded, that's why. Their view: The both happened at Six Flags parks, so they MUST be related stories.

I personally dislike journalists because of the stupid stuff they put in their articles. The movie theatre I work at was expanding and a person from the Southtown came to find some info and asked me a few questions. He asked for my last name (my first name was on my name tag) and I said I didn't want to give it and would rather remain anonymous. When he writes the article though, he quotes me as "Chris, who declined to give his last name." Moron.

Onto the actual topic, the kid was an idiot for going into a restricted area. The park should not be liable and not have to pay a single cent to the family.
I can't believe how stupid people can be. When a sign says "RESTRICTED AREA - DO NOT ENTER", don't enter it!
I pray for his family and friends.
