i was trying to find out about these rides that had failed and spun out of control and i did a search and found a few threw you tube were thsi poor lil fat kid kid almost dies and the horible lady just kept laughing at him and it made me feel sick i also saw what appears to be a chair lift that comes crashing down and all i can think about is how sad it is. that there are some really sick people that could even get a kick out of something so sad shocking and sick its called fat kid on rollercoaster its footage from australias funniest home videos. - from you tube

Katestow, that video with the 'fat kid' was actually on a slingshot ride in the US. What you don't see on the video (just out of range) is the wedgey-strap which is between the kid's legs (this is what he was saying was hurting - it seems his feet came off the footrest) - there was no chance of him falling but his small size and excess weight created some extra forces.

I'll be honest, the clip had me in stitches the first time I saw it - funny stuff.

After i watched it i thought it was funny. But i would hate 2 b in that situation. Imagine goin on our slingshot and all of a sudden, u start to fall out. I'd s**t myself!!!
