The stuff of nightmares!
My feet only leave the ground in order to jump on the back of my horse.
I don't really blame you. I just read about two terrible back to back accidents on rides.
Caleb Thomas Schwab, 10, died Sunday while riding an 168-foot-tall waterslide at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City, Kansas. RIP.
Witnesses say he was decapitated after he flew off the raft and hit safety nets.
It's still unclear what went wrong on the ride, but police say they are not investigating his death as a criminal incident.
Officials at the park said Monday that they will not be answering any more media questions about the deadly incident. On Sunday, officials said ' We honestly don't know what's happened' (they told the media that the ride is safety-checked every morning).
