No sympathy here.

I agree. Why should I be upset when natural selection takes a swipe at someone and hits the mark? Seventeen is plenty old enough to know that bad things may happen when tresspassing into a well labeled, RESTRICTED roller coaster operating area. It is impossible for businesses, the government or any other entity to protect people from themselves.

You should have sympathy because paying for trespassing at an amusement park is a steep penalty. You should have sympathy because he has a deeply grieving family that has lost a beloved son in a tragic, awful accident. You should have sympathy because leaders of that church will probably second guess themselves for the rest of their lives about their supervision, despite the fact that they did nothing wrong. You should have sympathy because we all walk this earth together, my friend, and face its cruelties on a daily basis. Lastly, you should have sympathy because when your time comes, do you want to know that people thought of you with warmth and with affection, or that they laughed at your demise?

Bad decisions are made all the time. No sympathy for the family of a decapitated son at a Church outing eh? What great class and human spirit you must possess.

I imagine when you were 17 you never did anything stupid that could have resulted in a tragedy for your family or others. Too bad the rest of the world isn't as perfect as you /sarc

I think we should be sympathetic because we have all done profoundly stupid things in our lifetimes, and outside the grace of God we would be just as dead. Also, these are teen boys, the most notorious dumb-thing-doers.

Indeed. I didn't mean to sound heartless. But, he wasn’t a child he was 17 and should have had enough brains to read the signs. He took it upon himself to enter a restricted area and paid with his life, thus the reason it was restricted to begin with.

I do not believe that anyone deserves death for trespassing at an amusement park. At the same time actions have consequences.
