^Oh im sure it was more than getting kicked out the park.

I can only think of a few reasons why this kid did this.
-He was "dared" by his friends
-thought it would be funny and wanted it to be filmed
-has actually mental issues that caused him to do it. If thats the case, i feel bad for him. However, it makes me dislike his parents for not watching him.

There would be more than banned for a situation like this. This would lead to an arresst and charges put against him. Universal Orlando takes matters like this to a level like no other park does.

After watching this video a few times, I really wonder if this is real or not, the odd cuts after the kid hops over the second railing is just one thing that makes me skeptical.


Then again, There are alot of weridos at theme parks that do really retarded things so who knows. :?


I maybe wrong, but isn't there some sort of electric current going through those rails as well?

I don't know about the rails having a current, but chances are the ride had an e-stop the moment he jumped into the track.

If there was an electrical current that you could feel in the tracks that would make all the water electrified, so I'm thinking no on that one.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was real. Too bad we build rides with automatic E-stops otherwise Darwinism could have taken its proper effect here...

Where the hell did his parents get the idea that he could go over there? Man, the brats these days. They let em do whatever they want.

The kid was obviously just doing that for attention, and he so far has been getting it. Currently, over 12,000 people have viewed the YouTube video, and I know relatively that isn't too many people, but 12,000 is still a lot.

Whoa, whoa, dont go straight to that. Dont get me wrong, rich brats piss me the hell off too, but that doesnt mean he is. Actually, i doubt his parents were there. He was probably with a group of friends. Dont be so quick to judge what kind of person he is.

Well, it wouldn't have bothered me if he got hit, but it would have been horrible for the people in the boat that hit him. So best situation there would be an empty boat hitting the kid, then it would have been best. Doing something that stupid should end up in a horrible way without effecting other people. Well, at least he will never see that place again.

That kid was an idiot. I can't believe someone didn't try to stop him before he went.

with the big boat front and with the boat going from darkness to bright outdoor light, and the big all concealing splash the boat makes, you'd have one dead dumbass and no one on the boat would be the wiser. It would be the best possible situation for all involved.

Okay well, I myself am glad he got escorted out and banned as it was an extremely thoughtless and stupid thing to do. However I think it's a bit morbid to actually wish DEATH on him.
Eh.......I got nothing.

^i agree completely. What is the matter with some of you? Wishing he died? What the hell is that about? Some of you need to think about what you are saying. Yes, it was incredibly stupid, but death? Come one guys, thats downright terrible.

Well I sure hope his parents weren't there because if they were, they had to be complete idiots.

I wont wish he died, I wish he would have suffered the consequences for his action, which in this case would be a darwin award.

Just about everyone needs a lesson in personal responsibility.

Guns don't kill people
McDonalds doesn't make people fat
and Flume boats don't jump the tracks and chase people down the midway.

Actions and consequences.

As for his parents, if they were worth their weight in garbage, he would have been raised with enough common sense not to try a stunt like that.
