Roller Coaster Cable Snaps during ride @ California Amusement Park

[fluteyhorse]

i'm sorry this may sound dumb but what function does the cable have? how did it break? can someone tell me, thanks :)

[SuperLollipop38]

My friends brother and I were on a ride called the zipper and the cable broke while we were riding

It took about 10 minutes just to get everyone off I was shaking afterwards

[recyclecongress]

I was on a looping-type of roller coaster once & just as it was climbing one of the highest points, it FROZE. Was the scariest freaking thing ever.  We were suspended sideways for like 10-15 min & I almost passed out.

[xxhellokittyxoxo]

thats why i dont sit in the front

[cookiemonsta1752]

omg ot hit him in its face awwse

[flakkitiz]

Graveyardkin666...ur stupid ....pendejo..go n suk ur mas dik....

[24timboslice]

if you look up the full story the cable cut trought the kids leg thats why there looking down and freaking out

[KoNZsir]

@24timboslice do u know the link

[ThePuffinstuff]

Xellerator Knotts berry farm

[TheLivingLeaf]

Lol I remember one time when I was on a ride and it broke

It wasn't a roller coaster, it was one of those cheesy scary rides with crappy effects, sooo toward te ending the line that moves te cart just explodes and starts smoking lol

[dudenumbe1]

that really must have hurt

with how fast they were going

[USFAssassins]

I think it's funny that the kid is wearing a Lynyrd Skynyrd tshirt and the dad is wearing Hurley

[pismodude2]

I like how at 0:10 the father is like *nooooooo* and tilts his head to the side to avoid being stabbed in the face XD

[flakkitiz]

I beat it hurt but but the kid is fine..it was just a dep cut witch made the tissue open the cut was deep

[GraveyardKing666]

@flakkitiz

Yeah, I bet he was fine, because, you know, it's not like those cables aren't about 1 and 3/4 inches in diameter and steel braided.

[MrJeremy313]

That looked like it hurt if anyone got any info i like to kno what happan to tham pls

[gratemen]

@MrJeremy313 The kid got a major cut on his leg and the dad got back pain.

[angelbaby02842]

this is why I will never do on rides like that.

[MrTmills18]

Did that kids legs get chopped off because his dad was looking at something and freaked out.

[keykeykay]

I don't get it why people are joking around. This accident nearly took the boys leg off and caused the man to sustain neck injuries. Well the cable did cut some of the boys leg off, but I just find it unkind to see people make jokes or humour out of this in the comments. Oh yeah, and the reason why the chair moved at 0:14 was because the cable cut through the front of the train where these two were. If you want to see it go ahead and look on images. Type in knotts berry farm xcelerator accident.

[superdonut121]

Omg the little kid cut his balls off :33

[bassetbaby67]

OMG how awful! I hope they sued! I don't mean to be rude, but I use to work there, and when they had the Corkscrew, they forgot to lock the shoulder bars on me and my friend. I noticed just as the train was pulling out of the station. Thank God they saw me and locked it before the ride went further.

[lesenfantterribles]

Oh wow, that happened on the corkscrew to my brother and his friend at the Silverwood amusement park in Idaho

[dantiri]

omg, is the ride ok?

[SMMA131]

it looks like it hits the back of the seat when they come back down

[suedejones]

shit was smokin and stuff. i'd be like "get me the f*ck off now!!!"

[Mauriki100]

Wooow that's sad!! Poor boy

[monkygirl1125]

??? wow he must be freaked out

[whatchutalkinabout1]

Whatever he saw at :29 freaked that guy the hell out.

[DEfbandname]

@TechnologyJules what flew around?

[miltonwilton]

Looks like something hit the kids legs. So scary omg.

[NoelleSwan080]

[enriquevazquez1]

@michaeliscool9623 did you not read he description? they actually got hurt 

[keanukill00]

@michaeliscool9623  there legs had to be removed......

[Saints9R]

@michaeliscool9623

They are obviously just scared the coaster will go on or set on fire or something. They don't know what happened it just started smoking and made a snapping sound, I'd be shitscared if I was them.

[jmmays]

@michaeliscool9623 Did you even read what happened? They both got cut by the cable. The boy was serverly injured and bleeding. What you have done war hero? 

[TheKuntrykutiful]

@michaeliscool9623 dumbass. the people in front are the people who got hurt... i would have been freaking if i got hurt too, youre on a roller coaster and a cable snaps. let me see you be calm

[kb470]

wow, thats the Xcelerator. thats shitty. i sat right where that kid sat!

[littlewolfgirl19]

Can someone please tell me what really happened??? P.S. That looks like it hurts a LOT.

[Tailow1234]

[TheSexynena91]

[GuitarMacable]

[spaghetti32407]

did any body else see the kids seat move around :14???



[njnolan1]

@spaghetti32407 the kid's seat pushed him up into the safety bar. 

[kaijustorm]

@spaghetti32407 yep, it sure does move! that's so messed up.

[enriquevazquez1]

@spaghetti32407 seems like it was about to come loose

[bassetbaby67]

@spaghetti32407 Yes I did!

[KatherineADP]

[ThePeppi34]

you are so big idiot!

[rustyspartner]

At the top of the ride dad says, "That wasn't good" You don't need sound to know the seriousness of this video. How quickly a fantastic time can turn horribly wrong...

[xarhero1]

[Killerjosh89]

HOLY SHIT

[chazflyz]

Buncha sissies. OMG a cable broke. Boo f'n hoo.

[JoeKX97]

@chazflyz Yeah, the cable cut the little boys legs...

[Sting3733]

@chazflyz Most people don't enjoy they legs being sliced open by a cable.

[chrisbartley88]

omfg scary! wen this happens does an alarm go off? cuz if that ride kept going omg the effects wud be disasterous!

[Nickamsweet]

@chrisbartley88 just the launch mechanism... once released it doesn't harm the train Unless the failure caused other damage to the train... how bad were his legs anyway?

[AutomatikZ187]

LMFAO

[KinsFluff]

the father must have been bricking it with hes son sat next to him and not being able to help.i know i would be

[onlywantlove]

[PouletAuCurly]

[emilyjlsjohnstonee]

I dont get what happened?

[1998shauna1998]

I didnt c anything!!!!!!!

[shineonnicole]

This is really scary!! I was actually going to go on that ride at Knott's when I was there last summer but of course it was down.. it was taking test runs because of "technical problems" I was super dissapointed at the time but now I'm glad to not have taken that kind of risk, especially since it was having those complications...

[Myblinky]

Press 5 and 6

[KrissXed4]

I actually used to work on the ride across from this one, and a friend of mine and employee was on was train. Those things falling at 0:06 are not his teeth but are actually shards of metal. The male guest that complained of back pain was the boys father, and it was from the whiplash of the train when the cable snapped. The cable that snapped actually lacerated the boys legs, and never actually hit is face, only the shards of metal did. Ride was down for awhile, but it now up and running again.

[multigecko13]

@KrissXed4 That is so scary! I'm glad no one was too seriously hurt :)

[mbxxgirl]

@KrissXed4 The dad did not complain of back pain.

[GamerMoFo1]

@KrissXed4 i heard his foot came off is that true if so im never going on this ride ever please tell me cause im going there on the 24th

[meany1023]

@GamerMoFo1 lol nope he had a huge gash on his leg thats it lol

[GamerMoFo1]

[meany1023]

[WyattWolfie1of5]

@KrissXed4 he u seem to know it all many people are saying the kart was smocking is that ture

[WyattWolfie1of5]

@KrissXed4 and did his feet come off

[Mbxxgirl1]

@KrissXed4 This is not true.



[Xeno455]

@KrissXed4

after reading all that i dont think i will be riding.

[Mbxxgirl1]

@KrissXed4 His father did NOT complain of back pain...it was the guy in the last car.

[mrswagerondeckk]

@KrissXed4 were they panicing at 6 because of fire or the kids bleeding leg?

[sampanasyuk]

I don't get what happened?

[s7videos]

[xslayerx202]

[lolaur1]

FOR THE ONES THAT DONT UNDERSTAND THE VIDEO:

that's why the roller coaster returned, because of the cable

you can see at the end the panic on their faces

and you can see him saying : MY LEG.

[darkbyke]

[emhean]
