Woman Dies at Six Flags America

[SF Critic]

Last night (the Fourth) A woman was found floating unconscious in the bottom of the Shark Attack catch pool water slide. She was 27 and was with her family. They administered CPR and used a fibrillator in attempt to revive her. It happened at 6 P.M. Paramedics said she went in to cardiac arrest during the ride. The exact cause of death was undetermened. Six Flags America reports that this has never happened on that ride.

Here's an article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 01335.html

Here is a pictue of the slides in question: http://www.sfafans.org/SFA%206-19/image ... age44.html

Ok, this is really sad to see. Cardiac arrest on Shark Attack? Ive been on both slides, they are very short, both slides well under 30 seconds. It's pretty wierd.

The family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Another death at SFA? Or was the superman death at SFNE?

^ Yes that one was at SFNE.

My condolences to the family. I'll keep them in my prayers.

Neither of them had anything to do with the park though...

This Washington Post did do an update on this story, including what sounds to me like interviews of guest while still inside the park.
