ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A teenager died Saturday when he was decapitated at the Six Flags Over Georgia theme park outside Atlanta, authorities said.

 

The 17-year-old park visitor was killed after scaling two 6-foot fences around the Batman roller coaster, said a statement issued by park spokeswoman Hela Sheth. He was struck by the coaster and killed, she said.

 

 

 

 

Nanananananananana BATMAN!

See what happens when you don't use your head?

They need to rename that ride to The Headless Horseman.

Robin: "Holy Head Aches Batman, it loooks like he got nervous and done lost his head!"

[ZeroTolerance 584]

"Some witnesses have stated that the individual was trying to retrieve something he had lost," Sheth said.

 

 

Instead he lost something else. I suppose it is fortunate that his companions were not as stupid, otherwise we may have had a chain of people running in front of the coaster in attempts to retrieve the previous person's lost head.

The very instant that his head popped off, the IQ of the planet went up.

How much do you want to bet there will be a huge ass lawsuit by the kid's family.

No doubt. They will probably use some sort of defense like 'he was too dumb to read, thus there should have been security posted around the ride to stop him'.

 

An idiot died. So what. Over at the gay footballguys, they are in mourning as one of their own bought the farm.

Yeah, the fence should have been 18 feet tall instead!

This thread has already reached Brilliance, but I feel it still has some upside!

Hela Sheth.

 

She must have been given a hard time in school.

[BMoney 0]

Darwin still has credibility.

 

Now I need to go have a smoke.

5 more haids, and the amusement park will be able to finish building another Whack-A-Mole game.

I wonder what the people riding the coaster thought? Too bad it didn't happen right where they take your picture...that would have been a heck of a, "caption this" photo...

One of my mother's classmates died in a roller coaster incident (would be a good 35 years ago). As his hat flew off as his car came to a stop at the end of the ride. He reached back to try to catch it and his head became a roller coaster car bumper when the next car came along.

Why not take the hat off before getting on the roller coaster?

 

 

 

 

also, it seems like a few people die every summer at amusement parks. At what point do they stop being so damn amusing?

Head > Hat

[peenie 1,944]

my daughter and her friend were preparing to go to six flags yesterday and i told her not to go because it was going to rain and it sucks to go to the amusement park when it rains because they end up shutting down rides. they decided not to go.

not that it would've mattered, she is afraid of roller coasters but i think it would've been traumatic had she been there when that happened.

so sad...it was a church bus trip. his friend survived. crazy.

 

someone posted a youtube video of the incident; it was filmed with their cell phone.

Oh, like seeing some idiot get his head cut off is not amusing.

 

Think about it. NASCAR is as popular as ever.

Umm, I think he was making a joke.

I once complained bitterly that I had no hat.

 

- Until I met a man who had no haid.

They ended up deleting the thread... funny. Some posts must have made too much sense I'm a firm believer in natural selection, another nomination for the Darwin Award.

I once saw a teenager decapitated by a drink coaster. That was one wild party.

Why would he climb a fence to go after a hat if he wasn't even going to have a way to wear it?

Police are still investigating but have made little to no headway.

maybe he was trying to get to the head of the line

[cbfalcon 827]

I actually heard they weren't releasing his name until after the autopsy.

 

I don't want to lose my head over this, but I think it's pretty ridiculous that they are wasting taxpayer money on an autopsy.

I wonder what was the last thing to go through his mind?
