You would be incredibly surprised at how many people live every single day in such a dangerously low sense of overall awareness. I used to work in retail, and no matter how massive and brightly colored we made signs that said "we do not accept checks" people would immediately pull out a checkbook and start writing a check at the register, only for me to point out the massive sign literally right in front of their face... And they would still get pissed at me as if I personally made the executive decision to not take checks at a massive fortune 500 company lol

At Disneyworld, you know how some of the rides have an audio loop of “please exit to the right, please exit to the right”… well, when I was a kid, I was riding with my grandmother on PeterPan…and she exited to the left and fell. She was alright, I think she was just not really thinking.

[@basilstorm9461]

Yep that’s a customer alright. We have a window at my work with a giant sign that says “NOT A DOOR”. People ask us where the exit is and we tell them. Someone still walks into it once a week, so we moved a mini fridge in front of it. A woman asked me where the exit was, I told her it was the same way she came in, and she said “okay” and walked straight to the window, SHOVED THE FCKING MINIFRIDGE TO THE SIDE, and smashed face-first into the glass. Then turned to look at me like it was my fault.

I think this falls under, I didn't think I have to tell you not to do that. Seriously you know you're on a ride platform. You think you would make sure you're not walking off a ledge.

[@lumindoesvideos]

Well that's a unique accident. Not many people just walk off the edge of the loading platform. Did they not want to climb over the train to get to the exit?

[@cinderblockageelam8162]

I have been on this ride more times than I can count. It is a great time, don't let this stop you if you visit Darien Lake. You would never have a reason to walk on the platforms that are in place for maintenance workers. This ride has lots of really obvious pathways on and off the ride.

There was also the veteran that died on the Ride of Steal, also Darien Lake, on July 8 2011, because he had no legs. Some comments from people that day state he got pissed & threatened to sue if they didn't let him ride.

[@aikohikari6587]

I work at a theme park and I am often shocked about people exiting roller coaster on obviously the wrong side. Sometimes they think that the slimest ways with no railing towards the tracks were the right exit. As if our safety laws would approve that! 🙈 It often gets me shocked. And those people clearly have no regrets and get mad at me for not showing them the right exit before. They could have just followed the others…

[@BlueLucario98]

I remember this! Darien Lake was my go to amusement park as a kid and let me tell you compared to the uh… couple deaths we’ve had here, this just looks even more silly

[@khatske]

I liked how they used a simulated computer animation to show what really happened. Neat graphics.

[@tylercooke920]

I live in Buffalo about 40 minutes from Darien lake. I think around 2011 there was an Iraq war vet who had no legs who tried to get on the ride. They told he him couldn’t ride because the leg bars would not keep him in obviously. He demanded that they let him ride and they ended up letting him ride it and he flew off the roller coaster and fell like 200 feet to his death from the first drop.

[@Supernova2464]

Can’t always account for stupidity unfortunately :/

[@drybones1785]

[@heatshield]

Hey did you create that graphic or is there a park resource somewhere?

[@FeatheredWingz]

tbf, the phrasing could be easily miss-interpreted to think the operator meant the other END of the train vs the other SIDE. But there's no excuses for just....missing that there's literally no exit signage, gate, or stairs???

[@TickyTack23]

See kids, this is why you don't text and walk off platforms.

[@elwhastrummer]

If this was 6 Flags Darien Lake, I've been there and it was a pretty clean park with safe rides. Western New York is nice during the summer.

[@bremea8975]

as a ride operator, people who wait until everything is ready to go to decide they dont want to ride are the absolute worst. please please make that call before we check all the restraints and give the all clear.

[@breadcrumbhoarder]

How… how do you not look first? Like, just to make sure you make the first step? How do you just walk up to what you think is a staircase but not look at it, even a passing glance first to see where the first step is??? Wild

Do the accident on the meanstreak. Where the rider in the rear seat had his left hand hanging down as the train entered the station. As the train came it the platfor the riders hand/arm became severed when it was stuck between the loading platform and train. Operators called for assistance and pushed the train back. Freeing the rider and his still attached severes hand. The rider servied and his use of hand is unknown.
