Video shows moments before Six Flags log flume accident

I worked at a theme park. It is not easy being a ride operator. Safety tests are done before the rides open to the public to make sure everything is working correctly. I was a lift attendant on a roller coaster and was always ready to hit the stop button should it be necessary for me to do so.

What's worse is that this ride literally has no seat belts or any sort of protection meaning, if the ride DID tip over those girls would've literally flew out of their seats. when I went on this ride and saw that it had no protection at all and I went in the front. When I was going down I legit held on for dear life because I started falling out of my seat. it went fine but I could've gotten seriously injured. Hopefully six flags is able to fix the malfunction AND add some proper restrains onto it.

Morons...THEY DIDN'T LISTEN.

He'll no I been on that ride it was so bumpy and hits everything the workers didn't even look at us it was odd

I'm still gonna ride it

We rode this ride literally the same week this happened and my hubby and I were talking about how they're going to have to either fix the ride up or tear it down because there are so many patches and fixes, we saw that loose gate bit but man, it got really bad in just a couple days. We rode on it afterwards and it's a little better but man, they gotta fix this ride. It doesn't even splash the bridge like it used to. My home videos from early 2000s look way different than my family videos from recently.

See something say something and feel something say something.

So El Toro, Log Flume, Haunted House, Lightning loops etc. this theme park is dangerous

Is someone like fell off the log ride why would they open to

A full inspection? Man I already see the problem and I didn't even go to engineering school

actually it malfunctiond becuae there was not enough water to slow it down it was low those rails at the bottom of hill should be underwater, a sensor should of stopped the ride due to low water when water is the only breaking mechanism on a log ride..
the side rail broke becuse the log ride was going to fast and hit it mutiple times, it's not the rail that is the problem but the low water level!

So what happened?

Im Alive never riding anything again. Dangling in the Air for hours is not Fun. Slipping down in the seat is terrifying. Finally got off. Feet on the ground. I collapsed out of Fear. Thank God. I Got stuck on a parachute ride.
I have Nightmares now.
And scared of Heights.

Many people did. They died.

Agree

Looked loose even before them.

You have 16 year old kids running amusement parks. What could go wrong?

I used to go to this exact place as a kid in New Jersey. 8 teenagers died at this place back in 1984. The Haunted Castle caught on fire.

This is my fav ride

A 14 year lost his life

The one in the front is my cousin Amanda. She said she didn't feel anything 🤷 lol

Seems like a lot of these incidents involve a log ride or a pendulum style ride of sorts...

Is it just me or...

Oh my, that's my mom's favorite ride. To be honest I never really felt safe on it, I don't know it just gives me bad vibes. I hope they are alright.

I dont trust six flags anymore lots of deaths have been there-

I WAS AT SIX FLAGS THAT DAY OMG.

favorite ride

not tipped but bumped and almost tipped!!!!

I worked there during that day

I saw the welder

Doesn’t seem like a malfunction it just seems that the rail was broken saying that you know like the flume system wasn’t wrong it was the rails

The log ride is so old, the railing ain’t the only problem that thing has! Smh!

I'm telling you, they need to install some new tubing pipes too.. go ride that ride and tell me if you feel safe with all the metal patches inside the flume. It's even bumpier than it used to be.. it's going to have a bigger accident soon if they don't do something.

PSA: if you notice something off when on a ride, say something to the ride operators AS SOON AS YOU GET OFF. They can emergency stop a ride if needed.

Wow

Water level in the splash pool was way too low. Water is the brake after the drop and the lack of a splash shows it’s low water. The boat should have lost its momentum long before the curve. Lack of maintenance or maintenance training. Where I’m from as the weather changes the weirs have to be adjusted to maintain proper water level. To high the boat stops to fast to low and well, see the vid.

Is his hair still wet from the water park?

The things are government designed to kill children,killing machines

What a stupid way to die. Luckily no one got hurt.

Ooooo pay me..

kid in IOWA drowned on the 4th of July in a river raft ride flipped and the belt lock couldn't be undone.

If they went over they would still be strapped in and could've drowned

maybee the should sue for emotional damge.............for like 500 billion dollars

Rip to my favorite water ride

Sue sue sue sue

This is hardly a ride malfunction at all, all it was was a little fence piece snapping, and even then, the log couldn't fall out of the ride. Everyones making this look way worse than it is.

Remember action park or action morgue?

I rode on it the same day 😭💀

That sucks I wanted to ride that one cause I’m going to six flags

I really looked up the log ride for six flags because I was going soon and found this😀
