Shockwave
On August 23, 1999, a 20-year-old man from Long Island, NY became free of his restraints while on this roller coaster and fell to his death. An investigation showed that the ride restraints were working properly and were still secured when the train returned to the station. Less than one year later, a 13-year-old boy, concerned that he was not properly fastened into his restraints, intentionally slipped out of them as the train was ascending the lift hill. He jumped onto the adjacent maintenance catwalk and escaped serious injury.

kid owns
i hope he just sat there until after it got into station and the operator went all :stare:

i'm so glad they passed a maximum penalty for that

the only time unreasonable jury awards are acceptable. if that happened now they'd be sued into oblivion. I'm surprised they weren't then

p. sure the limit was only on what the regulators could fine them and wouldn't stop the family from suing or the district attorney from charging them with criminal negligence (even though the latter doesn't seem to have happened because new jersey)

$1000 is still a ridiculously low fine for something like that

A few weeks after Python opened in 1976, a 6-foot-6, 340 pound, 39-year-old heart patient died after riding. The ride's previous tagline, "I challenged the Python and lived!", was subsequently removed.[9]

Apollo's Chariot
On the maiden voyage of the ride Apollo's Chariot in March 1999, a stray goose flew into the face of the Italian model Fabio during the 210-foot (64 m) drop, killing the bird. Fabio survived with only a cut on his nose.[12]

Park officials said this made the injury and death rate statistically insignificant. Nevertheless, the director of the emergency room at a nearby hospital said they treated from five to ten victims of park accidents on some of the busiest days, and the park eventually bought the township of Vernon extra ambulances to keep up with the volume.[10]
