My friend was from a small town in Texas. One of the local ranchers was proud of his champion charolais bulls, so he has a life sized, anatomically correct fiberglass reproduction placed on a pole at the gate of his ranch.

Needless to say, there's no telling how many coats of alternating blue and white paint were on those balls. The local high schoolers would sneak in at night to paint them blue, and the rancher would paint over them within a day or two. This went on for decades.

Fun fact: the rancher took himself and his family out by deliberately crashing his plane. Not sure if the frustration of blue balls were involved.

It's a mass vaccination hub. He's getting his covid shot.

My best mates brother passed out when he got his shot, cause he's deathly afraid of needles.

Hats off to anyone that's scared of getting their shot for whatever reason, but still gets it anyway.

Those stunts where a dude is on top of a car and he jumps through a hoop remind me of that water park accident (murder, really) where a kid was decapitated by the metal hoops they had installed to keep people from flying off the ride.

How was it murder? I know of the story, but not really any of the details. Was there just tons of negligence or something? I'm assuming there'd have to be for a ride to kill a kid.

Yeah I think the point they're making is profound negligence and not that like the slide was designed with the intention of killing that specific kid.

Negligence. They knew they had a problem and did the laziest most half rear end "fix" imaginable, adding a guard that could obviously hurt someone, rather than addressing the design problem with the slide. It's like seeing that your sidewalk is icy and tossing sand on half of it.

Here's a good video that goes into the details. Nothing explicit is shown.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKizH5wxSvU

Basically, the slide was designed by someone who wasn't a professional ride designer or an engineer, the workers who built it were forced to work around the clock to get it done and testing was rushed to get it open.

This was compounded by the fact that the Missouri decided that Schlitterbahn was allowed to perform their own inspections rather than state inspections. The victim's father was a Kansas lawmaker, who may* have been key to that decision being made.

*I've heard this from other sources that I can't find atm, so take this with a grain of salt.

Yeah, just read up on it a bit.

quote:

It said not a single engineer was directly involved in Verruckt's engineering or slide path design and it complied with "few, if any" longstanding safety standards established by the American Society for Testing and Materials.

Nope, I'm good calling it criminal negligence and second degree murder.
