severed above the ankle while on a thrill ride at a popular amusement park on Thursday, park officials said.
The accident happened around 4:45 p.m. on the Superman Tower of Power at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, said Six Flags spokeswoman Wendy Goldberg.
It is unclear at what point during the ride the girl, 13, was injured, Goldberg said. She was taken to a hospital, but there was no immediate word on her condition.

The ride lifts passengers 177 feet straight up, then drops 154 feet, reaching a speed of 54 mph, according to the park’s Web site.
The ride has been shut down indefinitely while park officials investigate what caused the accident. The rest of the park remained open

Yeah..Family will prob settle for 10 mill.

I cant end without mentioning my most feared ride- The Zipper

The Zipper is definitely the best and most scary ride of yesteryear, though it does not come close to the thrill and fear of todays' rides. I used to ride anything and everything, now I ride once and that is enough for me.

Are you kidding me??? They'd have to give me more than 10 mil if both my feet got chopped off. At least throw in free admission for life to all the parks, and some season tickets on the 50 yard line to the Skins games.

season tickets to the skins might cause the family to sue again for grievances.

I still love that ride...I always feel like the cart door could fly open or the entire cart could fly off....man, I have been on those drop rides like the one mentioned here...that shit is scary knowing some cable could end it.

:WTF: fvck

I was about to get on the Zipper ikn OC last summer when somebody threw up...they had to squirt down the ride and let it run a few times, to air it out....

lb for lb the Zipper is probably the all-time best carnival ride.

a very realistic scenario on the Zipper :puke1:

The worst part about this is the teen girl is probably no longer tall enough to ride this ride again.
