Unlike the SFKK incident last season this one cannot be blamed on the park.

I swear what is wrong with people these days? Most anyone would know that if there's a large fence surrounding the ride with the words danger keep out or authorized personnel only it should be more than enough to make them realize that it's a restricted area & to stay out.

What really gets me however is the assinine reason these kids had for entering such a restricted area in the first place.....to grab a rider's feet as a train passed by.Usually we have people entering such areas in search of lost items dropped from the ride which is bad enough but this is just plain aweful.

What a strange place to be headed.

I feel sorry for the family, but how much of a dumba$$ can you be.

Guess the boy wasn't as head strong in the end.

Ok, I love puns, but now I feel kinda bad about that. :(

Simply put, bad choice and his poor family and friends.

The stupidity of some people these days...

I feel sorry for the family though. Losing a child under any circumstance is unimaginable.

Well the guy was an idiot but I don't think he deserves to die.

Which came first the turtle or the donkey?

Well, now that his age has been released and he was 17, that rules out the ignorance factor. I would certainly hope, at the age of 17, one would understand the meaning of the word "DANGER" I'm sorry for his friends and family, and the employees of the park that have to deal with this

I'm a know-it-all about donkeys!

So on CNN.com it now says it was a GROUP of teens that crossed the fence. No one on the ride was hurt, thankfully.

I'm not sure he was decapitated, as the news media uses that word loosely in a lot of cases, but I guess it could be.

I feel sorry for those that saw the incident, the family of the teen, his friends, and yes, even a little bit for the teen, even if he did do something idiotic. Remember that video of the teen going after his hat in the Jurassic Park ride?

Nobody deserves to die. He just didn't make a good choice.
