That could’ve been just as horrific as the Drayton Manor incident. Glad the guy got out (mostly) uninjured.Walibi Belgium. Man falls from rapids boat and is swept down the channel after a boat filled with water.
Easy to see how this has happened, given how intensely soaking this damn thing. Thankfully the man didn't drown and managed to escape the channel.
The surge of incidents over the past 5-10 years on Intamin rapids rides is clearly still a major problem. I think it’s only a matter of time before some sort of mandate comes in to either improve the safety aspects of them or go down the Towers/Drayton/Thorpe avenue of toning them down and stationing staff every 20 feet.
