A 16 year old boy is dead after he and his 2 brothers decided it would be a good idea to enter the closed waterpark and go down a waterslide. He ended up getting stuck in the snow and fell 35 feet to his death after trying to free himself.

Well at least this time it's not the parks fault. But in all seriousness this death never should of happened.

You would expect people to know that they shouldn't sneak into a closed amusement park to ride a waterslide with a sled, but here we are. No way to blame the park for this level of stupidity.

The world is now a better place since this dumbass won't be passing on his genes.

There's a reason the park is closed, eh? This reminds me of the "genius" who tried to retrieve his cell phone a year ago from the Mantis ride's footprint and gave his life up.

It was Rapter. But yeah, you'd think if you have to hop 2 * fences to get to an area.... you probably shouldn't be there. I lost my phone on Superman 2 summers ago. Went over to guest services and they found it for me by the end of the week. No need to risk your life over something so minor.
