"She was spirited and intelligent," said Arianna Patterson, a member of the temple where Felner's father, Azriel Fellner, is the rabbi. "She was always trying to better herself and help people. Her death makes no sense."What a pant-load.

I just love headlines. Here I am thinking someone took their belt off and stood on a coaster... How in the heck does someone die while standing on a coaster while their pants are falling down?
Unless, of course, they slipped on the water ring and fell off the table... Hmmmm....

But, in the aforementioned case, not to multiply.

Spencer County Prosecutor Jon Dartt said witnesses at the Holiday World & Splashin' Safari park saw Fellner unlatch her seat belt and get up in a bid to get what roller-coaster enthusiasts call air time. You have to be careful what you wish for.

Thanks for giving my wife the best laugh she's had in about a month. You are truly the, "hero for the day!".

I have a Harvard M.B.A. friend...that is one of his accomplishments on the way to a PhD or two but the sad part of the story is that all of the "intelligence" one might think that this man has does not over come his TOTAL lack of social skills. Social skills = ZERO. He can hug a tree but speaking to another is impossible....he will mountain climb and sky dive and raft the impossible but to have a "real" conversation is not a possiblity. I suspect this girl was the same...wanting a thrill, attention and to relate in some way but she had to be the best. You are correct another version of "Hold my beer....WATCH THIS !!!", usually that is just ditch jumpin'.

She got some air time, all right. Including a bit of freefall. I hope she enjoyed it.

This ride reminds me of the Blue Streak roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. It too has only seat belts that can be unfastened during the ride by the customer. The Raven (the ride that this accident occurred on) has seatbelt-type restraints that the rider can buckle and unbuckle at will, but also a wretched individual lap bar that only the operator can lock and unlock (so if you're sitting with a large person and you're little, it can still crush your internal organs). Since Tammy Fellner was tiny (100 lbs), I assume not only did she unbuckle the seat belt, but she was also able to shimmy out of the lap bar and stand up (if the witnesses are speaking the truth).

Let's see...there's bound to be a lawsuit -- you can bet on it! The park, the roller coaster designer, builder, seat & seatbelt manufacturer, oh and possibly the company responsible for providing the power source that runs the coaster...am I forgetting anybody?
