Oaks Park
Portland OR
Ride got stuck/power out
People were hanging upside down for 30 minutes.

No no no thank you. WTF OMG

Can you imagine? First day of summer break for these kids, first day the park is open and one kid it was his first ride he went on. I'm not posting videos. First video I saw was on Tik Tok. There are some on Youtube, but it is mostly lame news videos with no cool content on them, just pictures of afterwards.

And that is why I don’t ride roller coasters (particularly ones at cheap carnivals).

A 14 year old kid here fell out of a ride and died last year. It was one of those drop towers that take you 400 ft in the air. He was a huge kid and they didnt check to make sure he was buckled in properly. The safety restraint didn't even fit over him properly, but they let him go on it anyway. Half way up he told his friend that the restraint became undone and if he falls out to tell his parents he loves them. He knew he was going to die. They started screaming for help, but no one heard.

That’s tragic. And a golden opportunity to warn kids and families about the dangers of childhood obesity (just trying to find some good that could come from it).

I saw a cool video of a kid doing a backflip on a tilt a whirl.of course if he hadn't timed it right it wouldn't be so cool and the kid would be dead.

When you look at childhood obesity, the first thing you look at is the mother, and lo and behold, it's some fat fuck with a loudmouth and bad hair.

wow

A family that lived across the street from me growing up were all big. The father grew up in poverty and so never wanted his kids or family to starve. They were huge.

I know, when you see a family of it, you immediately know it's their diet. The parents are responsible. Talk about making sure your kid has a bad start in life, here son, have a life threatening disease and one which you will be socially austricised by your peers and the general public at large.

The boy was killed in a bicycle accident when he was 9.
The father and mother have since passed, the only one left is the older brother. I saw him at his mom's funeral, he is still huge. His kids are pretty active tho. I hope they don't go big too.

The sort of health problems it gives them ensures shorter life expectancies and multiple health problems throughout. Awful legacy.

Totally agree. I wish mom had stopped us from eating second and third plates of food at dinner. I resisted for a while, but gave in to temptation when I got tired of their being no leftovers of her super delicious food the next day. Hard to believe I was a skinny 120 pounds before that.

[aussiefriend]

I don't think it's the 3^rd plate, especially with boys. They do eat their family out of house and home Clang. It's the other activities, the processed food over fresh food, and activities such as sports and even something like, being creative, can all have social and psychological effects that can impact body image and weight loss.

My kids eat like people from my 600 lb life and they're all fit. I don't know where those bastards inherited that from, I just look at a hamburger and I gain 10 pounds.
