I was coming home from my aunt's house yesterday and on the news was a short snippet about a teenager who hopped a fence into the restricted area of the Batman roller coaster at a Six Flags theme park and was killed (from what, I can't remember... ? High voltage ?  ) Anyone else catch this on the news? |

He was decapitated. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25431893/While it is shocking and sad for someone that young to die so horribly, the restricted areas are, well, restricted for a reason. |

Good God, that's an awful way to go; I wish the kid could have found another way to solve his problem  |

like buying another hat? well, at least he wont need one now. I really cant feel too bad, Like Mr. Napier said, there's a reason why here were two fences to hop over and all those restricted signs. If the signs say danger, and there are plenty, then it might be a wee bit dangerous. He shouldn't have worn the hat on the ride anyway. There are places to put all of your stuff.

That's why you bring a somewhat older member of the family who is terrified of roller coasters; instant living hat-rack!  |

heck, even if your life depends upon wearing hats on rollercoasters, you can always put it on your wrist or something.
I can see parents now... "Dont wear your hat on the rollercoaster, timmy, or it'll fall off and you'll lose your head"

Hell, if you're going to have a hat on a coaster, tuck it into a harness and/or hold onto it for dear life... Life is not worth losing over a lucky hat.

From what i understand it was just to avoid going around the whole ride to ride again.
