May Caleb Schwab rest in peace and his family recover well
Yes
*Caleb Schwab
What was the flaw in the slide exactly?
They did recover very very well they are rich now
@@lemonhead1442 yo this is so awful...i don't know these people at all but i can almost guarantee that they mourn the death of their child every day and would much rather have an alive child than millions of dollars
0:07 "I hope you Live' gave me chills knowing what happened in 2016..
yeah that made me think if maybe something similar was said to that one group...
plot twist: this video is publicated in 2016
im scared 😱😱😱😱😱
Caleb Schwab died
literal chills
@@xXTR011Xx juicers man
This video could be two minutes twenty seconds shorter.
The ride could make them a head shorter.
Your fingers could have not typed for 2 minutes and 20 seconds and you could have just watched or skipped
The weight of the people riding was the difference between this being on CZcams or Liveleak
Liveleak doesn’t even exist anymore
@@rosethefirechieftess1683 Took you long enough to realize
@@knatspray yea I admit I’ve basically been living under a rock these past 2 years
@@rosethefirechieftess1683 as everyone should
Every half decent gore site is gone now...
You can see how the lightness of the passengers could really throw them into that net when they first take off down the waterslide, it's really sad that they never made any changes.
They tore the ride down...
@@hapablap2088 hes saying its too bad they never made changes before the incident.
They put the lightest person in the front like they did with Caleb. They didn’t know what they were doing. Lightest is supposed to go in the middle … RIP lil man 🥺
Why the hell do people not edit videos when the first 2mins of a 2:30 video is nothing
Was wondering the same thing.
It is so sad that somebody died on this. These people who were responsible didn’t even have the decency to take some accountability and even put up a memorial for the boy. Absolutely disgraceful. I feel sorry for the Schwab family who simply wanted to give their children a day out of fun, and due to the incompetence of the creators that boy was decapitated. For them to not even put a memorial up just speaks a thousand words.
Caleb would be my age today :(
It’s funny how this water had injured so many people before Caleb and nothing was done about it or even said like seriously this water ride was too dangerous smh
How do you know or are you speculating mate🤔
The father had power and threatened to sue if they didn’t let the kid on
Didn't they tho?
I remember watching this when I was 10 because it was summer. Watching this again after hearing a kid died is just horrible… may Caleb Rest In Peace :(
Love the paper mache seats 😳
I noticed that as well. I read somewhere where they had them three-person liferaft especially made for this ride but it looks like either they were especially made out of paper mache or when they needed patch it up that use paper mache to patch it.
this aged badly
especially the i hope you live comment really is scary now
Wanna know what's worse? This was only a month before the accident.
@@energymillion5321 that makes it 10x worse
Yep, the kid didn't age so well either
it was closed a month later because a little boy died on it and it’s so crazy how these people ride it not knowing what could happen
0:05 I hope you live
2:01 Where the fun begins!
The fun? A kid died on this ride
RIP to the boy
Yeah
Caleb Schwab
Kind of ironic that I got an ad at the end for sing 2 and it said heads will roll
A warning maybe?
@@youdononeetokno no he's just a troller
Every person who rode this & survived needs to get on their knees & thank God.
This was a tragedy just waiting to happen.
I agree the could have ended up like the little boy R.I.P
Imagine recording this and then the person in front of you gets their head ripped off
😭
This place used to be so much fun
someone died
i know, hence why it used to be fun until someone died
The place is closed down permanently now.
How are there only 6 comments and 7 mil views
The real horror is how long the staircase must be on this thing..
You can see it's an accident waiting to happen. It's sad that it took the death of a 10 year old boy for this to be realized. 🙁
Why?
@@kato093 cause a boy died and got his head decapitated
You definitely cannot tell its that dangerous from the video, it looks like any other water slide.
@@Theoriginalmartian its not dangerous. The kid was probably too young, small or/and too light for the slide. Thats why they say you gotta be 12 years old and at least 120 cm tall.
Same can go for too tall and heavy.
I did a ride for younger kids that i used to ride all the time when i was kid and went cuz of nostalgia when i was like 16 and it was scary as fuck. I started rocking right to left at every turn instead of seamlessly sliding left to right and at the last curve i blasted off the ride. Luckily it was still in the direction of the pool so i landed in water.
@@Theoriginalmartian you definitely can, did you not see it go airborne at the beginning?
Why would they not raise the height of the netting in the areas where the raft could possibly go airborne? Why even put a net if hitting the net is more dangerous than going airborne?
They should have designed the slide with a lip on the edge that was narrower than the raft, so the raft couldn't exit the chute. Then equip the raft with a "real" harness like a roller coaster.
The fact that they even had netting proves they were fully aware the rafts flew off. They needed an upstop mechanism to keep the raft from flying off, not a series of metal hoops over the slide. What exactly was the netting supposed to do? The second they put up the netting it became priority 1 to never touch it.
It should not have been designed that way to began with. The second hill acted like a ramp cause the rafts to go airborne. It should have been designed with the big drop then a straight run out to the pool.
they didn't use a single engineer to develop this ride. trial and error allegedly. 😢turned out to be errors and a trial.
If there’s was not an another drop after the main one it would have been safe.
The intention of the drop is to be a brake. Their fundamental mistake is that they tried to build a rollercoaster instead of a water slide. If you put drops on a water slide you are asking to kill people. They could have used switchbacks to slow the speed, it still would have been the tallest waterslide, and it would have been safe.
Knowing what happened i felt even i had to duck when watching
They literally could’ve just made the net taller
My mind questions why it would even need a net….immediate suspicion
I’ve read all over and haven’t been able to discern whether Caleb bounced and hit the top of the pole or not. He totally could have been slung out to the side and hit the straight section of the support pole. In that case, taller wouldn’t have mattered.
Or not built this deathtrap in the first place..
Man I had always wanted to go on this.
You’ll die
Knowing this wasn't designed by engineers , how the f can you get on this crap.
If they didn't include the hump part it might've been ok
I went to Disney land two years back with my 10 year old and the rides scared me I couldn’t imagine getting on a 70 mph big drop like this poor kid :(
i think this was uploaded same month the boy died
Factually incorrect
At 2:15 it's basically a ramp
I successfully avoided having to take physics until I couldn't anymore. Had I not, I would have been just like these people, putting total trust for my life and physical well-being into the hands of the designers of this ride without much reservation. The engineers who designed this had to have cheated in physics class or didn't take it very seriously. Starting with considerations about the extreme height, combined with traveling at a high velocity _IN WATER_ when that's even a bad idea seat-belted inside of a vehicle - only for them to think, _"Yeah, that's a _*_GREAT_*_ idea!"_ What an appropriate name for it, however, Verrückt - "crazy."
Where are they now and what are they working on these days? It is my understanding their case was dismissed and these guys never had to serve any time in jail.
No engineers designed this. It was a high school dropout.
2:17 where it all happened :(
Was it at that bump?
@@jaredalvarez890 yeah
is this another example of uneven weight distribution?
Skip to 2:03 your welcome
1:59
There. Saved you two minutes.
Hearing someone say “hope you live” when someone actually died a month later is disturbing
Just looking at the thumbnail you don't need much imagination to picture in your mind what happened.
To think what happened just a month later
Caleb would've had a less chance of dying, if it wasn't for them adding a big up and down on the slide!
go to 2:00 .. here starts the fun :)
2:04 when he actually goes
2:00 what you came for.
N sei mas se eu soubesse
2:05
Nada de ruim só colher o que foi plantado.
Nothing bad could have POSSIBLY happened on this! Right? RIGHT!?
Really? 33 comments on a video with 7 million views?
The comment were turned off before I think
You can probably edit out the first 2 minutes...
I would not go on this ride. It's too scary and it doesn't look safe.
If you went on that ride what's your last words then
i dont get how the kid went airborn tho
“Hope you live” that didn’t age too well
HI
Hyvä vidi
Oi
what
I'm afraid of heights, but being a water ride, this is on my bucket list, if I ever make it to Kansas.
If only you knew it got destroyed because a boy got his head chopped of on it.
@@Exepluto yep
its closed and a boy died here
Got a time machine?
I got news for u bub
No one should go on this ride ever again after what happened to that little boy
Man, this ride is great, I sure hope nothing bad happens!
Is that meant to be amusing?

Frankly I see no interest even as a kid I didn't like these rides.

Water Slide Women, are you stretching your legs? 0:01, 0:50, 0:55, 1:40 and 1:56
I look forward to trying this when I visit next summer
Dont
It’s been removed as a boy died on it
You can’t ride on it and you cannot visit the park. The slide is gone and the park is permanently shut down.
Edit the start of this video, over 2 mins of staring at the back of his head waiting to see the ride is annoying as fuck!
I dont understand why the parents thought it was afood idea to let their son ride this ride! Shame on them
