Yeah, I read about that yesterday... kinda scary if you ask me. I'm surprised only 2 people got injured.

Yea I was surpised but I am not suprised that only 2 people were hurt. because it wasn't going very fast, and the sudden stop wouldn't be that bad. I think it was a sudden stop.

This is really sad that something like this would happen. I hear that because the wheels were so big, losing one wheel would have derailed it. Hopefully this can be prevented somehow next time.

Wow. That poor guy in the pool that got nailed by the wheel never had a chance. I can't belive that happened, especially on that ride.
