A Florida teenager has died in a bizarre accident at a closed water park in a resort area in the Wisconsin Dells.

The teen and two other juveniles snuck into the Mt. Olympus Water and Theme Park Wednesday night, according to Lake Delton police. The trio then slipped into a restricted area and climbed to the top of a water slide. While trying to sled down the snow-covered slide, the boy got caught in the snow and tumbled off the ride while trying to free himself, police said.

The teen and two other juveniles snuck into the Mt. Olympus Water and Theme Park …

Sorry for the pedantry, but that is not a word; sneaked is. Just like drug is a noun (meaning a mind-altering substance) and not the past tense of the verb drag.

I remember as a second or third grader a boy from my class had climbed up a telephone pole and was electrocuted ... 1950's.

A major portion of growing up is making decisions.

Stupid games, stupid prizes...

Google “attractive nuisance” to find out why the water park will pay...

It would appear that snuck has sneaked into the American vocabulary. While you would have been correct twenty or so years ago, not so much today";^)

Thanks to the fake news outlets, it seems.

I saw that movie Frozen and it’s usually wild wolves that eat you when you trespass in those places.

That phrase has to be extirpated from the US vocabulary, legal and otherwise. It goes against personal responsibility and decriminalizes criminals.

Assuming the water park was fenced, gated, locked, and sign posted NO TRESPASSING, and considering this was a teenager presumably able to read, I’m not sure an attractive nuisance suit would stick. At least I hope it wouldn’t.

What a waste. RIP.

Hmmm. I always thought the proper declension was "sneak, snack, snook."

[Olog-hai]

Snook, eh? Because of all the pix of women in bikinis holding them?

Stupid things teens do... I guess he was trying to get a thrill and maybe it was his first time in the snow.

Last week, we were at a flea market and someone was selling two Flexible Flyer sleds and a toboggan. I said to Mrs Deplorable that we aren't having global warming, but snow in Florida. I guess I should buy Iron Mountain in Lame Wales for a ski resort. :-)

With all due respect, the following website is showing “snuck” as an alternative for past tenses...

Of course, that begs the question as to who they are. Their first online appearance per the Wayback Machine is September of 2009, so they look to me like a preliminary run of Commie Core.

If I had used “snuck’ or “drug” while in school, I would surely have gotten “struck” by that nun dressed in black and white. They had a peculiar way of convincing you their way was the only way. Damn any dictionary!
