Girl's Feet Cut Off At Six Flags Kentucky

[mrtonguetwista]

LOUISVILLE, Ky. A young girl's feet were cut off Thursday in a gruesome accident at the Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom theme park in Louisville when a ride malfunctioned.

The incident happened on a free-fall ride called the "Superman Tower of Power," which is 177 feet tall and drops riders at 54 mph.

A witness described to WLKY-TV what he saw as he was watching his kids on the ride.

"We (saw) the cable break loose as soon as it got to the top on the right hand side. As the ride came down, the wires swung left."

Another witness said she talked with a friend about getting on this ride just moments before the accident that detached a girl's feet at her ankles.

"The lady, she was just sitting there and she didn't have no legs. She didn't have no legs at all. She was just there, just calm, probaby in shock from everything."

"The cable just snapped, and then as it was coming on down, it just snapped again," she said.

The incident took place just before 5 p.m. ET, according to Six Flags spokeswoman Wendy Goldberg. The ride was shut down while an investigation got under way.

At least it was her feet and not her head.  But in a few days she might wish it WAS her head.  I'm trying to picture how this shit could have happened though.  The Superman ride out here in Cali is like a roller coaster and u sit in a 2 person seat.  What does this ride look like?

This is probably different than the Superman ride at Magic Mountain, but what the fuck happened.  They really didn't describe what happened in the article.
