KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) A 10-year-old boy was decapitated as he rode a 168-foot tall waterslide at a water park in Kansas, a person familiar with the investigation said Wednesday.
The person, who is not authorized to speak about the boy's death, told The Associated Press that Caleb Schwab was decapitated Sunday on the "Verruckt" raft ride at the Schlitterbahn WaterPark in Kansas City, Kansas.

Terrible situation. The family is a very nice one. The Kid was a very good kid. Just a freak accident. It was Kansas Lawmakers day at the park.

The Schlitterbahn? A water ride called the Schlitterbahn?

Liars.
They were telling the truth. He injured his neck. This led to his head separating from his body, followed almost instantly by death.

The first few days after this accident there was no information about the details of the accident. Yesterday on the news they were reporting he died of a neck injury.
Why are the details about this young boy’s death being held from the public? They need to know exactly how dangerous these rides can be.

The park is Schlitterbahn, the ride is The Verrückt.
To: MeganC
May not have lied. IIRC, oddly enough, “decapitation” doesn’t necessarily mean someone’s head came off: simply popping the neck vertebrae apart is referred to as some sort of decapitation medically.

"Why are the details about this young boys death being held from the public? They need to know exactly how dangerous these rides can be."Given this latest detail, you can probably check off the box for "Occasionally will lose your head."

not really the kid came up out of the raft thing and his head caught one of those bars that hold the net.
Why did the kid come out of the raft?

I always thought if you were a top engineer, good school, good grades, you built aircraft, carriers, sky scrapers, suspension bridges, etc. I thought those who squeaked by built carnival rides.

Good one. I bet they'll be using that in ISIS occupied Syria too.
