Oakwood Theme Park - Hydro - Cymru

[leahsdavies1998]

Hayley was my auntie i was there on the day and i knew what actually happened my aunties jacket got caught or jammed and then she did whatever she could to get it out and then she undid the seat belt only quickly and then the wind blew her and as she fell out of the rollercoaster she accidently hit a boy and hurt him but i can remember everything what happened so then rushed to the nearest hospital and the doctor said she had passed and i broke my heart i love you and miss you auntie hayley<3

i went on this last week and i think its good on what they have done if the betls are not down or abit lose or just not done properly they put them all back up again and put them all back down again until all of them are secure or the boat wont leave soo it is very secure xx

[imsorryrutalkin2me]

Noone will ever know what really happened, we should just have respect for the girl that died. After the death the ride was closed for several months, and they have now got a new boat now and have up-graded the safety checks. The splash use to be 45ft high, but when I went last week it did seem a lot smaller than I remembered. The ride now has stronger belts, and if a belt is not done up properly, the boat will not leave the station. R.I.P Hayley!<3

@Alic3x25 hahah i read it too , then i went to wales a few weeks ago and someone said a girl fell off so i thought of teh article..

[SSpchP]

Was there an accedent on this?

[horseygymnast123]

@SSpchP yes, a girl fell out because the harness failed once...

[Tolly357]

when i went i got there stood on the bridge and got soaked

[Hellokittycool1]

@Alic3x25; I KNOW because I was there when it happend. This is the story; she went on hydro, her jacket got caught in the bar and also her zip was digging in her tummy so she undid the seat belt to sooth it but it was too late it was going down and she fell off.

[danam1001]

omg i been on that lol shit my self or lol i go oakwood every year lol :L

[MissLauren151]

where about on the ride did she fall and where did she land i dont see how she could have moved the bar like ppl have said it locks and you cant move it

[BuildingB0y]

@MissLauren151 back then they didnt have over-the-shoulder restraints, they had seatbelts so it was easy to unclip it

[davidjames1001]

I went on this twice in a row... serusioly, its awesome!

[Annzgal]

[ChSKiDChRiS]

yo, dipshit, you spelt dark wrong..

[LoopyRupy]

Went on this ride and went on most of the others including in that one made out of wood however speed was the best by miles it was amazing!

[xxkellzx]

it aint actually oakwoods fault she died she shouldnt have been panicking with the bar n her jacket but i do feel sorry 4 her though :(

[Joshiesims]

That happened only 3 days after i went on holiday to Pembrokshire and went on that.

It was just seatbelts supporting you.

Everyone said that they were safe enough - but the G Force was cappable of flipping someone out of their seat if not fully secured.

Nobody knows what really happened - she just fell - a terrible incident.

[Lyrics4Yhoo]

they do know what happend. She got to the top and paniced and started shaking the lap bar. it became loose and when it went over the top of the drop she was thrown out.

[hospitalrulez]

it wasnt that. the bar wasnt done tidy. and she was pushing it up and down when they was going up the lift hill. and the lapbar became to lose. and she slipped over the top. i was on the bridge when she fell out. wasnt a nice scene

[icpslimanus]

the second time i went on this ride i nearly fell out (no joke) my seatbelt was lose i didnt realize untill i was half way up the hill so i just held on as tight as possible but at the drop i came out of my seat but luckily not too much but i banged my head on the front but i was fine and nothing serious happened but now it is ALOT more safe

[chazTASTICxox]

i dont think the splash is as big now as it used to be..

[fobsessedisme]

When I went in '05 and '06 the plash was huge!

I saw it from my car before we were anywhere near Oakwood

[moneyis007]

new boats are sfaer i think they take saftey on hydro very shapley since haley passed away

[Edwardo1993]

How the hell is somebody supposed to fall off?!? I heard they used to have just seat belts to stop you from falling off yes?

[Dan105fm]

[PaulineXMario4eva]

R.I.P haley williams

[lellyumsX]

[pendw]

Deleting comments doesn't change history my friend. Better to face up to things and admit what a dreaful, woeful act of negligence that was.

[supersion30]

The reason they get deleted is because over half of the comments left about the incident, are not true.

[arlene1066]

everyone is strapped in, how is it possible to fall off?

[dannydxl1]

good ride. have you been on it or just filming it?

[supersion30]

I have been on the ride. It was much better when it had it's old boats.

[skwales100]

It's the same boat as the day it opened.
