Yea just watched the same video. The mother and daughter were at the bottom waiting. The son was next to him when he flew out. He hit a girl a few rows back.

That poor girl could have been killed too, how awful. We all know just from drivers' ed videos, about how unrestrained bodies in accidents can hurt others.

As someone who is small and has had trouble not feeling totally secured on amusement park rides, I don't know if I'll ever go on one of the big ones ever again. (Scariest was in middle school, when the lap bar on one of those ship rides didn't reach my legs and I had to hold on for dear life.) The nightmares are enough!

Probably hit her face and caused a nosebleed. Absolutely unbelievable.

I saw a pic of it somewhere on here.. I didn't look though, just the thumbnail was all I saw, and I couldn't tell what it was.. But your description fits.

The 12 yr old brother of the boy who was decapitated at Schlitterbahn was waiting at the bottom of the ride when the boy’s body got to the end.
