1. Why tf have been to like all of the parks and been on these rides 😭

2. I never knew the Demon at six flags great America Gurnee, not Chicago, had an accident. Omg i've been on that ride so many times in my childhood.

3. I went on the superman. Sucks to know that someone had died because of it.
   No not because of it because of hiring idiots.

4. There wasn't anything "graphic" about this video. But also, it seems to me that the kid who went to retrieve his hat or phone or whatever in a restricted area of the Batman ride at Six Flags over Georgia and got decapitated was more graphic than any of these. I guess because no one on the ride was hurt, it didn't make the list.

5. Just to add as it wasn't mentioned, a woman was thrown & killed on son of a beast when it was still in use too

6. Here where I live we had a little kid decapitated on a ride at Lagoon and a few other deaths throughout the years.

7. Just wanted to point out that the smiler crash was caused my a regular maintenance check, and engineers putting the train on without telling anybody. It had no design flaw, but the engineers did not put water dummies into the coaster train, and that’s why it stalled. Not having cameras to see any part of the coaster is terrible, even if it is just a little bit.

8. Is I just me or does the narrator sound like they're 12 or 13 years old?

9. This is a really dishonest video with zero footage

10. SO Where was the graphic images ? ARE YOU A WUSS?

11. i was going to make a joke about ride the cyclone but i can’t think of one 😭

12. i was not expecting a child to be the one talking 😭

13. In the Smiler ride case, the person in charge of sending the empty car out for testing was supposed to put weighted bags full of water in each seat to mimic the weight of passengers and properly weigh down the car. There was also no communication with maintenance about the test. Also, there are tragically a lot more accidents that you could have included in this list. 😞

14. I’ve been on the dragster when I was 7 or 8, I remember it took a few seconds from the start to get a few hundred feet in the air. That ride is insane

15. Idk if anybody has mentioned this but the drop zone stunt tower incident is one that is horrifying because a child got ejected from his seat and even more horrifying, he landed head first so his brain matter ended up on his own mother’s shoes. The victim’s name was Joshua Smurphat

16. Jesus christ

17. I have only been once on a roller coaster and im not going if it dpesn't have the shoulder thing to make sure i'm safe. I don't trust the bar over your legs.

18. Very informative! You make good videos!

19. Is this a kid narrating?

20. Very safe my Ass. That's like saying poorly maintained aircraft are safe enough despite the wings keep falling off.

21. I worked at an amusement park in Panama City Beach when I was a teenager. I was on the crew that ran a roller coaster there. It had rained all day and we weren't able to open the ride because the brakes on the track stayed wet and wouldn't stop the cars if needed. 30 minutes before the park was to close it was still drizzling rain and one of the owners of the park demanded I opened the ride so someone could ride it before closing. I did several runs without anyone on board to try and dry the brakes out, but they just wouldn't dry. My boss came again and raised hell because I still hadn't had paying customers ride it. Again, he demanded I put people on the ride no matter what. I reluctantly did. I knew I couldn't stop the cars empty, especially if it was loaded with the weight of people on it. My crew sent the first loaded train out while the second train was being loaded. I made it clear to the other guys to get the second train out before the first train got to a certain point on the track. We barely did in time. As the second train was going up the first hill, the first one came in really fast and I knew I wouldn't stop it. I closed all the hydraulic emergency brakes on the track before the terminal and I held the manual brakes closed with all my strength. That train barreled through like there were no brakes at all, caught up to the other train, and narrowly missed hitting the other train going up the hill from behind. I knew what emergency precautions to take in that situation, and I immediately hit the emergency stop on the ride and both trains came to a dead stop going up the hill. Then I had to walk all these frightened passengers one at a time down the ramp beside the track on the hill in the rain. It still haunts me knowing that people could've been killed or injured all because of my boss demanding I put people on that ride. That night after all was taken care of, I went to my boss and told him off big time. All he said was I was lucky I still had my job because if I had disobeyed him he would've fired me. Lucky? The lucky ones were the people that could've been killed on that ride. This happened over 45 years ago and I still remember it like yesterday.

22. No the superman accident was from "negligent" employees. It was from the dude riding the coaster who yelled and threatened to sue them and the park

23. The man with the amputated legs put up a big fight about getting on. He caused his on demise

24. I was in the park when the smiler crashed and i remember I didn't go to a theme park for 2 and halve years but I actually went to alton towers and u was terrified to go on any ride but I did it and I had the best day

25. Around 1 death per 500 million riders. That was what my cousin caculated when he did a small essay about rollercoaster when he was teenager.
    Not sure what the numbers are today. Probarly similliar.
    So it's very safe to ride a rollercoaster.

    Most of the accidents in the video is due to bad maintenance, construction fault, riders not follwing the rules and sloppy staff.

26. Batman roller coaster took a 17yr old's head off…I'd say that is definitely top 10.

27. I’m from the uk and the smiler accident was the worst thing I ever seen remembered watching it on the news and it was so so tragic I love the Smiler I ride it every visit it’s very safe and watched closely

28. Joker is not a dangerous ride in Six Flags

29. worst video ever, so boring and lame 😒🐸🕺🏼

30. With the Alton Towers one we went as a school trip whilest the ride was still closed and we all kinda walked passed and just look at it saying we would never go on it. The bract year it was open and we did 😢😢😢
    Never again

31. great video but son of beast was left standing not operating in 2009 and later removed in 2012.

32. heres a story how we became rich. so basically there was a themepark (i forgot the name)
    it wasent very big at the time (with big i mean populair). but there was a really agressive rollercoaster called the volcano. so me and my brother went on this ride and it was really fun but at the third turn disaster struck it was a really sharp turn and me and my brother were in the seats that used to be unavailable but at the time it was fixed so they thought we went trough the turn and my brothers jaw smacked against the thing that goes around your shoulder and then he fractured his jaw 2 teeth flew out that caused allot of bleeding and he didnt feel it much and my mom came and saw his face was swelled up and bleeding and my brother said he was fine but 5 minutes later he was screaming in pain so my mom called the ambulance and the police. and my mom sued the themepark and got us 565.000 dollars.

33. Surprised the Tsunami at M&Ds didn't make the list. Derailed at 40mph. There were 10 injured with 2 severely injured. The most severely injured boy died twice at the scene but they managed to resuscitate him. He had a ridiculous list of injuries: abdominal injuries with bleeding into his chest cavity and a collapsed lung, a ruptured spleen and kidney, a broken thigh and triple pelvis fracture.

34. 4:26 “unfortunately no one was killed” loll

35. Last time I was at cedar point I watched a man get decapitated at the raptor coaster. He jumped the fence to get his hat a woman's legs hit his head and took it off. I don't like roller coasters I think they scare me because they make me feel alive and I'm dying.

36. I work automotive manufacturing maintenance. People are inperfect, mistakes happen, and equipment fails sometimes without warning. After learning that amusement park maintenance makes significantly less, I refuse to ride roller coasters. You are LITERALLY putting your life in the hands of minimum wage operators and and an underpaid maintenance crew for what? 30-120 seconds of “excitement?”

37. Anything made by people is not safe. I don’t trust people.

38. Ride operators failed to notice??? They were not told by the negligible people that owned the ride and installed it!

39. My sister went on the top thrill dragster she said it wasn’t scary and the people that went with us said she had a straight face on she’s very brave the roller coaster is so strong that it shakes the amusement and you get a nice gush of wind

40. The Smiler accident in England took the legs off two girls sat on the front row along with their boyfriends who didn’t need amputations

41. 3:43 I thought I heard a dog outside my window lol

42. Me hearing florida:YASSSS after five seconds: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NEVER AAGAINNNNN

43. It's weird being in a rollercoaster accident is one of my worst fears but I absolutely love riding them

44. FYI Six Flags in Illinois is NOT in Chicago. It's a couple hours north of Chicago in Gurnee.

45. Why did she say UNFORTUNATELY no one died on the smiler

46. L bozo

47. I'm sorry it shouldnte be inevitable

48. Did you know there getting rid of the mindbender now all because they can't get a part for it

49. Why is all the accident on/around my birthday I was born on July 8

50. My parents and siblings went on the son of the beast and all always got bruises. The beast is also pretty rough lmao.
