Woman dies on roller-coaster @ Six Flags . . . was her weight a factor?

The ride ain't over till the fat lady flings.

is that comment gonna get posted to EVERY thread about this story???

Instead of just tossing her cookies she wound up tossing her entire body.......

Since her identity has not yet been released, why jump to conclusions unless this is a personal pet peeve of yours as it stands now the roller coaster worker neglected to secure the woman properly and when she voiced her concerns she was negated by another worker when she voiced her concerns this substantiated by witnesses.

Stick to details.

Identity and photos have been released.

You know what I was thinking this...I was on a ride and the women in front of me was rather large..Her bar only clicked once and she freaked and they let her off. Mine clicked like 3 times.

She was ejected purposefully, a hit job, assasinated for being herself..

:(

Did you not read the story with her name and photo??!!

She was obese.

Sheesh.

If she KNEW the harness was not secure, SHE should not have let the ride proceed.

Victim confirmed as a fatty.

Source: the news.

She was rather big. Poor woman. I can't imagine how she would be secure in a seat. Here is another photo showing more of her body.

I feel terrible for her family and that she died That said, it does appear she was too large to be secured properly. She told the ride attendant she did not feel safe, it should have been checked....other people witnessed her being blown off by the attendant. So this family will get a huge amount of money and we will all see weight restriction signs most likely.

One thing I dont understand....why are these parks too fucking cheap to just install harness type straps on all of these rides? Loop or no loop, a bad and a seatbelt is just stupid when NO ONE could come out of a harness. Its ridiculous. These rides never derail, they never crash. Someone falls out or someone gets hurt because they arent secured.

Because they get kickbacks from Obamacare for killing fatties, duh. This is a conspiracy site, not "fat people rights".

"Fat person dies due to their weight, news at 11!"

I knew it was a lardass as soon as they said "Texas".

She is rounder than planet earth and just a tad smaller. I'm surprised we have not been sucked into her gravity before.

This is starting read more like a public service announcement.

How come its all about the fatty, what about the poor roller coaster. You know it finally said enough. Enough with this crap. I'm tired of all theses fatties and it tossed her like a good dwarf tossing contest.

Do they ever wash the ass and back sweat off the seats?

Hah, are you kidding


YOu marinade in the other persons bog ass the whole ride

She had a personal obligation to make sure she was secure. If a rider feels the harness is not tight and secure, they should never proceed with the ride.

Beyond that, while parks should implement restrictions, human beings need to understand that their obesity not only places them in danger for the mere fact they are obese, but they simply cannot engage in certain activities.

Hey Canada, there are "lardasses" all over the world, not just in the great state of Texas.

I'm going to start some fatty park, let them eat on the rides - use industrial farming equipment to secure them to the machines, have eating contests .. I'LL BE RICH!

I remember when Six Flags used to be a big deal, when people were courteous, families made their kids behave, and the park was kept clean. Haven't been in 20 years and would not go due to morons, minorities, filth, rudeness, idiocy, and the insane fact that they allow drinking in the park.

"Amusement" parks are nothing but magnets for lowlifes.

you're bad

I didnt know about the drinking

While I feel bad for her family, I know that overweight people will be the first to cry discrimination if they're not allowed to do something that they feel they have the "right" to do.

This PC society we live in will kill us. I mean, hey, it killed her.

Isn't it insane?

Got license to sell beer to be consumed only in "designated" areas - yeah, right . . . but at any rate, wouldn't you love to be on a wild ride, in the Texas heat, with idiots who are full of beer? Just makes the gross more gross.

ban everything

It's time for society to stop being a bunch of wussies afraid of stepping on someone's feelings, especially at the expense of their own - or other innnocent people's - safety.

just jam a couple of hundred wet wipes down your pants if you're that worried about it. you can flush them down the toilet later!!!

Sort of like State Capitals eh?
