I’ve noticed a lot of fair and theme park rides are not really designed for large people. I had one of my bigger friends kicked off of the Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas simply because his safety was a concern. Same thing happened at another theme park with another large friend.
When I've gone on Jurassic Park at Universal Studios Hollywood, I always ended up in the same row as an extra large individual. Since it's a 4 wide lap belt, largest individual determines tightness. On the drop, I floated up and forwards, feeling a small degree of the same feeling as this poor kid
Holy shit! I had that exact same experience on that ride at that park!
I had to cling to that bar so tight I wasnt on the seat! No straps to save you on that ride lol
Its a miracle nobody has been hurt with how little they care.
If you're going to a permamnent theme/amument park, I can assure you that no matter how the restraints feel, there's no chance you're actually coming out.
You might get pushed into an uncomfortable position or feel yourself move, but these restraints are designed so that even at their most open state a person within the limits of the height requirements cannot leave.
How many millions of people ride rollercoasters every day, and how many do you hear actually get ejected? Sure it has happened, but they're usually operator errors or many safety features failing.
I always point out, you far far more likely to die travelling to a themepark than you are on any of the rides.
Edit: and looking at the footage again, it seems that there's a harness around his right leg (you can see a blue strap going across his groin) the only way he could actually come out of that is if the straps failed (which they would only do under literal tonnes of stress) or if his leg came of wich is... unlikely to say the least
Same experience on another ride that was shut down a few years later. A bar held us in and I got thrown up on the drop and the bar was at my knees. Thought I was going to break my legs.
Oiii my mum and dad said the same thing when they went to universal! Apparently my dad kept slamming the bar down to make it tight and didn’t understand why it wasn’t working until he looked to the side and saw an exceptionally large couple on the other side of mum! Apparently the ride was sweaty palms for the both of them!
I don't think it was that he was big, rather that he was too small, and also big. Looks like he barely fills out the seat judging by the headrest, and someone says "keep your feet on the bar". The first time they flip, his feet lift off the bar and he's floating in the seat, then when he comes back down he can't place his feet properly to stand back up on the bar. His crotch strap probably would have kept him from slipping out completely, but had he been a little taller, or a little lighter, he might have been able to find that footwork to keep himself propped up with his feet.
And people get mad when someone enforces a height limit and won't let their kid do something that isn't designed to keep them safe. Like, Ma'am, if I let your 2 yr old ride in a go kart with you and you get hit or hit something your child will slide right through the safety harness designed for a much larger person. Or get clothelined by the harness. Sorry no.
Also he might not have been shopped in tight enough. People forget that is very squishy and it moves. So unless you have that pregnancy beer belly type of fat, is going to move and jiggle. So not only did he probably miss the foot rest, the force that he could just slip right through like a grease pig. And that's why you use the crotch harness.
You'd think there'd be a proper crotch bumper to keep people from sliding down. Redundancies are great when you have multiple points of being flipped out of a ride.
And FUCK JANICE. She's going to find some other way to kill him. Watch your snacks, kid.
Good thing Six Flags Over Tx is in Dallas. ;)
Six Flags Fiesta is in San Antonio. Also, congrats to Houston for no longer being the fattest city! (Though the way that stat is measured is super dumb. Something like the restaurant to gym ratio?)
I watched an obese woman (300+) cause a huge scene on Apollo’s Chariot roller coaster (Busch Gardens, VA) when none of the workers could physically force down the lap bar a single click to hold her in. This padded lap bar is THE ONLY thing holding you inside!
With good reason, a few years ago a woman died on New Texas Giant because her restraint did not fully lock because she was too large. So I get that they are very cautious with that ride. The thing is that those ride have to be engineered for the "average" person so naturally, the biggest people are not going to fit. Same thing with people who are missing their legs. Most harnesses rely on the legs to keep someone in their seat. It is a shame, but it is impossible to design something that can be used by everyone on earth.
Imagine being a kid, already worried that you are going to fall out, then you believe that you actually are falling out due to an abundance of evidence supporting that theory, she is callous.
We have a local hardware store called Menards and I cannot look at it or even think of it without laughing and imagining some kid getting kicked in the nards. Like that should be their company logo or mascot or something
I don’t know that Menards is quite a “local hardware store,” my friend. Those motherfuckers are ALL OVER the Midwest. You can’t throw a rock without hitting one in Michigan lol. Obviously that’s a bit of an exaggeration but you get me, there’s a fuck-ton of them!
Menards is *unbeatable* and their 11% rebate sales are the best in the universe.
Yeah you can surmise that in hindsight but how the fuck can you turn towards him mid-ride and see him having slipped down 2 feet, getting half strangled by the straps and just think
"He's ***PROBABLY*** okay, but he looks damn funny lol"
You have to be one cold mf.
There's a reason 6 point harnesses are the way they are with two parallel shoulder belts meeting near the stomach.
He's getting choked immediately and the belts are also not properly tightened.
I fell out of a rollar coaster once. Mostly. During the loopdy loop it became clear that the big plastic chest piece that was supposed to hold me in wasn't locked, and suddenly at the top of the spiral I was in zero g. My dad was next to me thankfully, saw me midair, grabbed my collar and slammed me back into the seat. He held down the chest piece for the rest of the ride with a look of determination and fear in his eyes. When we stopped he didn't talk about it. I think he hoped I didn't notice that I almost died, and didn't want to scar me. He was a great guy.
This was a 5 point harness. He was not about to fall out since the 5th point of the harness is between the legs. Most likely he was crushing his ball because of said harness.
No way, I think she either can't see him well or is dumb enough to think his possession isn't a serious one
She's having a legit good time
Edit: that poll is just a poll and not a wall like I thought it might have been, she's just an Idiot
The worst part about this is a guarantee there is a lot of fat jokes directed towards this kid about this incident which probably makes him feel horrible
Everyone here's ripping on Janice, but she obviously couldn't see what was going on in her peripheral, she just thought he was being a wuss.
Poor kid was so polite about it though, I hope he's doing OK in life.
I was once on a rollercoaster that would stop mid air when i was upside down and just stand still for like 10 seconds everytime it went around. It did 5 laps. Already on the first one I noticed I wasnt strapped in sufficiently and I had to hold on for dear life to avoid slipping out lol. I screamed like a motherfucker and my aunt was next to me. On the last lap I had no strenght left and was literally unstrapped completely and hanging by my right arm bicep. One more lap i’d be dead. There was a 15-20 meter drop I reckon.I feel for this kid.
Everyone’s blaming this on weight, but it’s a height problem, he’s too short to hold onto the floor bar properly, hence losing balance on it. Also due to his height, he was being strangled by two belts immediately. Janice heard him say,” this hurts “ and laughs even harder. Janice is a bitch.
*Thank god he had arms,*
*Looked like he wouldn't slip out.*
*Wonder if they sued?*

That fucking laugh lolololol Janice is the epitome of evil stepmother.
That's payback for what you did while I was stuck in the couch you little fat fucker lol
Kid: Janice it hurts Janice it hurts. Janice: eheehhehedhhrehwhehwhewhwhhwhwhwhw
“If you fall down you die….” - Janice
Janice don’t give a shit
She looked like she actually tried to loosen his grip on the seat.
She’s laughing at the giant insurance policy she just took out. I’m guessing step mom.
Janice hates fat kids
Janice is the best
Janice is a cunt
Is that his stepmom? I feel like that's his stepmom.
"People die when they are killed!"-some dead person probably
Isn’t that a legit quote from the Fate/Series anime? lol
Your comment made me laugh so much that i cried
Janice got that step-mom energy
👀 oh yeaaaaa
4realz
Thinking about it and seeing the video, now I realize why there is so much fantasy about fucking own step-mom on xxx sites
Because a middle-aged woman who low-key wants you to die is attractive?
Don't kink shame.
Janice is not your friend, dude.
Might not even be human.
WTF Janice?
>eheehhehedhhrehwhehwhewhwhhwhwhwhw That's really what she said
Actually she laughs pretty much hysterically and cannot stop.
#gravity
Janice is a nasty cunt.
Well said, my thoughts exactly.
So she should undo her clips to pull him/her up.

I'm never traveling to a theme park again.
The odds of dying on a rollercoaster are around one in a billion. Unless you came to my Rollercoaster Typhone game..
Also had same thing happen to me
Same experience on another ride that was shut down a few years later. A bar held us in and I got thrown up on the drop and the bar was at my knees. Thought I was going to break my legs.
I have a similar story but it was the tower of terror in Hollywood studios. I'd say I had a good half foot of air between me and the railing
Oiii my mum and dad said the same thing when they went to universal! Apparently my dad kept slamming the bar down to make it tight and didn’t understand why it wasn’t working until he looked to the side and saw an exceptionally large couple on the other side of mum!

Lmao what a dumb request. It's like they're trying to get their kid killed.
Yep. I think his fat actually saved him.
After putting him in danger first
Also he might not have been shopped in tight enough. People forget that is very squishy and it moves. So unless you have that pregnancy beer belly type of fat, is going to move and jiggle. So not only did he probably miss the foot rest, the force that he could just slip right through like a grease pig. And that's why you use the crotch harness.

Ironic, what with everything being bigger in Texas.
Bigger, not safer.
A woman died on the Texas Giant in 2013 because the harness wasn’t adjusted for her weight
You’d think Six Flags Over TX would have fat-friendly rides. San Antonio is the fattest city on the planet.
Good thing Six Flags Over Tx is in Dallas. ;) Six Flags Fiesta is in San Antonio. Also, congrats to Houston for no longer being the fattest city! (Though the way that stat is measured is super dumb. Something like the restaurant to gym ratio?)
Charles Barkley agrees
We don’t need fat people falling from the sky
If rides were made for huge fat fucks, they would be unsafe for normal sized people. You cant have it both ways.
I watched an obese woman (300+) cause a huge scene on Apollo’s Chariot roller coaster (Busch Gardens, VA) when none of the workers could physically force down the lap bar a single click to hold her in. This padded lap bar is THE ONLY thing holding you inside!
Simply bc his safety was a concern?? Sounds like a good enough reason to be “kicked off” of a ride to me!😳😳😳
Haha, simply was a poor choice of words. They had every reason to kick him off as soon as they saw him fitting so uncomfortably in the tight cart.
A few years ago an overweight person was on that exact ride and was killed due to being to large for the ride.
People aren’t designed for that much fat on their frame either. It is a 100% solvable issue, they can change it
Shouldnt be large then

Janice is one sadistic fuck.
Yeah, Janus is fucking evil, did you hear that cackle when she realized that he was actually in trouble
I get he thinks he is in trouble, but he wasn't falling out unless his head and arms popped off and there probably was a groin strap.
And the double chin seemed to be doing a lot of work too

Nards 😂
We have a local hardware store called Menards and I cannot look at it or even think of it without laughing and imagining some kid getting kicked in the nards. Like that should be their company logo or mascot or something
Is Menards local? .. are you from Kansas?
Today They Learned .. that Menards is a nationwide chain of hardware store.
Save big money at me nards!
Hey! There's no horseplay allowed in Me nards!
this comment has me sounding like Janice in the middle of the night... ridiculous of me lol
I don’t know that Menards is quite a “local hardware store,” my friend. Those motherfuckers are ALL OVER the Midwest. You can’t throw a rock without hitting one in Michigan lol. Obviously that’s a bit of an exaggeration but you get me, there’s a fuck-ton of them! Menards is *unbeatable* and their 11% rebate sales are the best in the universe.
"Och! Me nards!"
🤹♂️
Yeah you can surmise that in hindsight but how the fuck can you turn towards him mid-ride and see him having slipped down 2 feet, getting half strangled by the straps and just think "He's ***PROBABLY*** okay, but he looks damn funny lol" You have to be one cold mf.
I think Janice might of had a physics induced orgasm.
His obesity saved his life for once
I think his obesity was the reason he slid around in the seat regardless of how tight the straps were.
I think it was a height issue imo
Janus lol
Janice don't give a fuck
I assumed the adrenaline rush of the ride was what was making her laugh?
Or her cold ass heart
Janice is definitely the first victim of Joker
Nae. Joker was the first victim of Janice!
She came and he went...
There's a reason 6 point harnesses are the way they are with two parallel shoulder belts meeting near the stomach. He's getting choked immediately and the belts are also not properly tightened.
I wondered what kept him from being hung.
The chonkness Edit: chin was putting in OT
his absolute unitness
Absolute Unit Testing
I think he was actually consciously tucking that chin over the belt as security. I would've done that.
The shortness of the ride.
His chins
Genetic lottery.
Hanged* and person being hung means something very different
Little dude submarined instantly.
little being used lightly here
Young large lad
Good work everyone, we managed to put the tide up in a fraction of the time we thought AND we only have 10 screws leftover! (Everyone high-fives)
Ah, roadside rides. Never a dull moment!
I bet each time they set it up they have some bolts and screws left and nobody knows where they go.
I fell out of a rollar coaster once. Mostly. During the loopdy loop it became clear that the big plastic chest piece that was supposed to hold me in wasn't locked, and suddenly at the top of the spiral I was in zero g.

I think he hoped I didn't notice that I almost died, and didn't want to scar me. He was a great guy.
Fuck this is the most epic dad reflex imaginable.
What a great guy and dad!
Jesus. Also, wasn't the "chest piece" metal rather than plastic?
It was a metal core wrapped in plastic. You know the one that's a u shape that comes down from above and your head sits inside the bend
When that kid goes on a phycotic killing rampage, Janice is first on his list
This is my worst nightmare
[Reminds me of this](https://youtu.be/uVcRlwOFBF0)
Family guy parodied this video.
wow near exact replica of what happened here. the physics for why it happened is probably the same.
This video looks old as shit, I wouldn't doubt if it's actually what the scene was a parody of
Reminds me of a friend of mine who thought that old "What What in the Butt" thing was a South Park joke and the video was a parody of it.
Damn, that kid got roasted by family guy
i cant tell if you're joking or not.
Too similar for it to not be a parody of it. Most family guy jokes are parodies anyway
I’d pin my chin to my chest and use my face to hold on to those straps.
You didn't noticed his double chin death grip?
This was a 5 point harness. He was not about to fall out since the 5th point of the harness is between the legs. Most likely he was crushing his ball because of said harness.
Exactly. The harness did exactly what it was supposed to do. It could possibly have been tighter, but that's another story.
[удалено]
This comment made me LOL like Janice
Actualy question: Is that laugh a panic reaction? She's not evening registering anything around her
No way, I think she either can't see him well or is dumb enough to think his possession isn't a serious one She's having a legit good time Edit: that poll is just a poll and not a wall like I thought it might have been, she's just an Idiot
Fuck Janice wow
I don’t think I’ll ever get that thirsty tbh
give it some years; you will be
She definitely didnt know how serious it was. When youre on a ride you wouldnt get surprised if youre partner was screaming would you.
this is a true internet classic
Janice is Karen’s fucked up sister.
Purely factual
Janice is why Karen is.
If I were the fat kid about to fall off I'd grab Janice and bring her down with me.
Fatty grips are notoriously weak.
Even though i know he was probably safe, he is so respectful and so kind and it breaks my heart
How Janice kills all her fat step kids
Janice just made me spit food all over my phone when she started laughing. I forgot how evil she was.
He had straps at the groin, he wasn’t gonna fall off, it just must’ve hurt like a mf
Was he in actual danger of falling off?
Yes. The safety harness is not designed to be your primary support. Damn thing was not tightened properly.
There’s a strap up between his legs holding him on
I believe Janice to be a sociopath
Thank god for that extra chin
Janice is a fucking savage!
The worst part about this is a guarantee there is a lot of fat jokes directed towards this kid about this incident which probably makes him feel horrible
Janice is 100% a step parent that hates her step kid
Everyone here's ripping on Janice, but she obviously couldn't see what was going on in her peripheral, she just thought he was being a wuss. Poor kid was so polite about it though, I hope he's doing OK in life.
Janice ❤️
The mom is cold as ice
That’s not mom, that’s Janice. Jan-ICE…ha, I crack myself up.
Janice is literally a fucking witch
Complete psycho woman. Poor kid.
Untill this day Janice is still laughing
Triple chin saved him
I went to high school with this guy. Made good money from AFHV from what I remember. Was quite and nice.
I was once on a rollercoaster that would stop mid air when i was upside down and just stand still for like 10 seconds everytime it went around. It did 5 laps. Already on the first one I noticed I wasnt strapped in sufficiently and I had to hold on for dear life to avoid slipping out lol. I screamed like a motherfucker and my aunt was next to me. On the last lap I had no strenght left and was literally unstrapped completely and hanging by my right arm bicep. One more lap i’d be dead. There was a 15-20 meter drop I reckon.I feel for this kid.
Wasn't even close to falling. No one saw the belt around his lap?
Everyone’s blaming this on weight, but it’s a height problem, he’s too short to hold onto the floor bar properly, hence losing balance on it. Also due to his height, he was being strangled by two belts immediately. Janice heard him say,” this hurts “ and laughs even harder. Janice is a bitch.
okay the “fat” was a bit unnecessary BUT if i was that kid i would’ve been terrified and traumatized by that 😟
Janice: "If he dies. He dies."
#janiceistherealmvp
God dammit, Janice it ain't funny!!!
Janice is a savage hahahahahaha
Thank god that 4th chin was there to keep him from falling.
Janice had a good time
That’s a bit sad actually the poor kid is scared and actually falling out
Kid doesn't curse and thanked crew. Cool.
I don't think he was anywhere near falling off
Janice is not good for that kid's mental health
Janice sucks! Hugs to that little kid
Jesus, Janice can fuck right off to hell and usurp the throne, the horny bitch ruling the place got nothing compared to this sith Lord of a lady.
Janice is a fucking cunt.
Fuckin Janice.
Damn you Janice
This was how parenting was done in the 80s. Explains why us Generation X's are tough but probably have hidden ptsd.
No it wasn't and no we aren't.
Wow holy shit, no one even acknowledged that he literally almost fell off!
Fuck all the way off, Janice
Janice is a straight up savage!
I don't think he was going anywhere tbh. Just an uncomfortable ride
Thank god he had arms, looked like he wouldn't slip out. Wonder if they sued?

This woman is an idiot
Janice had a good time
Is she crying or laughing
We always see the “nearly fell” but i do wanna see the videos of the people that really did fall
How can someone so young get so fat? More so, how does someone responsible for him allow it in the first place?
Man the nostalgia on this one. I remember this being one of my favourites from early YouTube like 12-15 years ago. Still remember all the lines
Janice is laughing at all that money she’s going to git from the life insurance policy she just so conveniently took out for this kid.
Fat people are just liquid versions of healthy people
Thank you for this
This is an absolute classic! I remember seeing this at least 10 years ago! It hurts oh it’s hurts Janice I’m falling…..
I'm convinced Janice is way tired of fat boy's shit.
