At Least 4 Killed On Theme Park ‘River Rapids’ Ride In Australia | TODAY

[@rainbowgremlinproductions]

The ride was grossly unsafe. My wife and i rode it a year before this happened to the day and almost to the exact time it happened. At the time i commented that it felt like the boat would flip and that i didn't feel safe. I said it was only a matter of time before someone was hurt or killed. May they Rest in Peace :( :( :(

[@rainbowgremlinproductions]

It must say somthing about their safety checks when almost every ride broke down several times a day and even queuing for a ride wasnt a guarantee of getting on it because there was a chance it was going to break down before you got on it

[@mstrmren]

Thsi ride is not dangerous, its completly safe, the unsafe feeling that you are about to fall out is part of the ride! This was a tragic accident, but you have to remeber that there are maybe 100 of these rides in operation, and only on one ride afer more than one decade after the opening this happend.

[@aceventuraify]

This doesn’t tell the whole story of how horrific this scene was. 2 of them drowned and the other 2 were crushed by the machinery under the conveyer belt. It took until early the next morning to get every part of them out of there, the first responders had to seek counselling.

My husband and I don't let our kids ride certain rides that give us a bad feeling. We don't do traveling carnival rides at all. People probably think we're overprotective but we live near a now defunct water park that had a slide that killed a boy due to their negligence. When that water park opened that slide, we told our kids they weren't riding it because it looked sketchy. We were right. I'm not an anxious person but I don't trust my kids' lives to some of these rides I see.

i just read the coroner's report. so the conveyer belt is not like a treadmill or airport conveyer where ur on top of a solid material that loops the whole machine, but rather just spaced out wooden planks that move with nothing underneath them. for description's sake, you cannot stand on the conveyer belt, if u tried to jump on it while it was operating u would fall thru the big empty space between each wooden slat & u would be cut in half by them moving. think moving train tracks elevated off the ground. what happened was 1 of 2 water pumps necessary for the ride to function failed & within 70 something SECONDS of that failure those people were dying. all the water rapidly drained, causing a different raft to become wedged as it fell from a floating position in the water to directly laying on the rails of the ride (next to but off the conveyer belt), then the ill fated raft bumped into it & the conveyer still running obviously kept pushing it into the wedged raft & so there was no where to go but up & both rafts were pushed vertical before the raft with no injuries thankfully fell back to a rest position & the ill fated raft went completely sideways. the raft basically landed with one side touching the floor of the ride - a little gap between the elevated conveyer belt & the elevated ride track just big enough for sideways raft to have fallen into. like if this is the belt & track: ㅛㅛㅛㅛㅛㅛㅛ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ the raft was like this: ㅛㅛㅛㅛㅛㅛㅛ↕️ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ so the tops of the people heads faced the conveyer belt & given more clearance the conveyer belt would have gone above their chest.... but the was no clearance so those wooden planks... just whacked into their heads & chests & tore them open & apart. the two kids were strapped into the seats most lifted into the air, so they were able to climb out of the raft & off the ride without being struck by the wood planks, but they saw everything. medics said even if they had world class heart & brain & trauma doctors waiting there at the ready, they couldnt have saved those people. they died relatively quickly & did not have time to drown.

What’s the big deal of the ride being closed down? So many things led up to the “freak accident”. A family died on this ride…and that doesn’t scare you?! Just because you had a good time on the ride, that makes it safe??

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

There's a ride exactly like this in Canada. I've only rode it once with my family but I felt uncomfortable when our boat approached the conveyor part. It felt like it was higher than the water level and would somehow turn the entire boat sideways when it went onto the rotating ramp. Other than that, the main part of the ride just floating on the river was fine.

Usually from my experience, riders will exit the raft/float before it reaches the elevator or conveyor belt. This is my first time seeing this type of design where the riders stay in the raft, as it is on the lift hill.
