Seen people mentioning this on Reddit too. Should be grounds for an ejection and ban for life; bet these edgelords wouldn't dare try it in the presence of The Mouse.

Absolutely despicable
There's a danger of the ride crew becoming complacent, through absolutely no fault of their own, as eventually they may start thinking "oh here's another one", only for it to be real.

In a move that makes me angry at the world, some witnesses to the Melbourne Show coaster v's pedestrian incident of a couple of years back are trying to sue for the trauma. For some reason they are suing the operator rather than the person who climbed into the ride are to retrieve their property and inevitably got struck by the train.

Back home, little boy falls from ride and sustains head injury at pumpkin farm event in Yorkshire. Few details (The Scum use a picture of a clown coaster in their article but do not state the ride type, so this is probably lazy and misleading stock image 'journalism'), ride removed from lineup.

Unfortunately the way society is now, if you're killed or injured doing something idiotic someone else is invariably at fault for not telling you to not be an idiot.
I'm not sure when it became the responsibility of organisations to educate people in basic common sense, I thought this was something parents were supposed to do.

In this instance I don’t think it’s actually clickbait, as it genuinely did happen.Omg
Not far to react either - wonder if they could have stepped out quickly?

It’s a genuine incident that happened at the Castles N’ Coasters park in Arizona, but it happened back in November 2024 though.Not watching the video - not a fan of promoting click bait
I’m not sure what the repercussions were of the incident or if it was ever announced what exactly happened here but the incident was widely reported in the media at the time.
