Death Trap 2

Formerly known as the Hellevator
Eleven days ago I wrote a blog about roller coasters and why I do not ride them.
Allow me to remind you.
I found this headline on my webpage this morning: "Girl's Feet Severed At Ky. Amusement Park". As you can imagine I was concerned and terrified. These people were riding one of those "Tower of Terror" types of rides where you rise and fall at alarming rates and more alarming heights. Well, something malfunctioned (SHOCK) and it came crashing to the ground. One young woman had her feet severed at the ankle. Just gone. And she was in such shock she wasn't crying or screaming, just looking at her ankles thinking, "Something about this is not right..." Other people on the scene, however, had the panicking (sp?) covered.
So in case anyone ever wanted to ask me to join them on a roller coaster, "I'm good."

Why I Do Not Ride Roller Coasters
As if being upside down and going really really fast isn't bad enough. As if being upside down and not moving at all isn't bad enough. These poor people stayed like this for 30 minutes!!!
My favorite part of this article has to be this horrifying quote: "The cause could be a (tree) limb or as simple as an animal (on the lines)..."
Yes friends, that right, if a squirrel scampers across a live wire you could be stuck in the air eagerly awaiting death on some stupid roller coaster. OR you could be safe on the ground in a spinning teacup with me...
Take your pick!
