The Vertical Accelerator ride at Cobra Adventure Park on Front Beach Road, broke while two passengers were strapped in and about to ride it.

To put it into perspective?
It comes with the territory of being "Thrilled". Snip happens and when it comes to mechanical devices things wear out. Sometimes they can be spotted before hand, sometimes they just POP.
Live life in a bubble or just LIVE LIFE...
As to the video, these people paid for a "controlled thrill". They found out it wasn't as controlled as they thought, thus they got pissed off. Was the thrill they got from the prank not the ulitimate thrill and for free? lmao
I was on a small twin prop 10 seat airplane last week. Pilot took off and immediately swung around and landed.... Apparently one of the engines was not "performing". As we were coming back around we could see the fire trucks coming out to run way....

The fraying on the cord would have been my hint to not bother. I'm a little leery of rides like this for the cord integrity alone, but that's the most frayed-looking one I've ever seen. Even ones I've seen at carnivals/fairs were in much better shape o.O

Was there a video? I didn't see one.
I'm just waiting for one of the 'slingshot' rides to break and launch a couple people over the horizon.
