Batman claims another life at Six Flags

AUSTELL, Ga. (June 28) - A teenager was decapitated by a roller coaster after he hopped a pair of fences and entered a restricted area Saturday at Six Flags Over Georgia, authorities said.

Six Flags officials are uncertain why the unidentified 17-year-old from Columbia, S.C. scaled two six-foot fences and passed signs that said the restricted area was both off-limits and dangerous to visitors, spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a news release.

So much for being super heroes.

In May 2002, 58-year-old groundskeeper Samuel Milton Guyton of Atlanta was killed after he wandered in a restricted area under the Batman roller coaster's path and was struck in the head by the dangling leg of one of the ride's passengers. The ride was closed for a day to allow the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration to inspect the ride. It was deemed safe for passengers.

Ah but wait, Superman's out for blood too.

In June 2007, a teenager's legs were severed when cables snapped on the Superman Tower of Power ride at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Ky. Doctors were able to reattach Kaitlyn Lasitter's right foot, but she had to have some of her left leg amputated and subsequent surgeries.

There's a reason the area is labeled off limits.

No sympathy from me.

Douchebags never have any ;]

I came into this thread thinking I was going to read about a malfunctioning ride and was going to argue that they shouldn't run the ride until it's proven to be safe.

But, instead, I read about an idiot teenager going into an off limits area underneath a ride and paying the price.

It's his fault, as harsh as that sounds.

They don't label the area off limits because they want to be dicks and prevent people from going to specific areas of the planet.
