- Wait, so for safety they added a hatch at the TOP of the loop de loop if people got stuck?
1. I hope they also installed a ladder so those people could get down.
2. What was to stop people from just slipping and falling down either way when they tried getting on their feet to climb up and out?
3. What would happen if someone actually managed to get enough momentum to keep contact all the way through, and the centrifugal force accidentally popped it open? (They didn-t think to put it on THE WALL at the top end of the loop)
What am I saying? There is no way, even with safety features, this thing would ever work. Because in the end, it-s creator the park owner (who had no engineering experience or concept of physics, or the limits of the human body) didn-t care that half his creations were deathtraps.

Where were the building code people?
Where were the NJ country inspectors?
Any county department in charge of signing off on the building safety codes should be at the top of the liability chain. T
The next should be the county; state safety inspectors.
The next were the architects.
The next were the owners and managers of the park.
All are equally at fault for different reasons because with each other there wouldn't have been any injuries or deaths.
I think any amusement park or any place that is responsible for the safety of people, whether be an amusement park to a building should be reported if their insurance company cancels their insurance for safety reasons or maybe any reasons.
That loop waterslide is a BIG RED LIABILITY!

The craziest part is that out of all these rides, the most deadly one is the only one I've experienced. Many times, even. Wave pools area pretty common at public swimming centers in Sweden, and they're a ton of fun too. Of course, most people know how to swim here since it's required to learn in elementary school, but they don't exactly ask you to prove it before getting in a pool, and I'd be surprised if no one has ever died in any of the wave pools here.

I miss the 70s and 80s. As a kid it was awesome. We had same alpine slide at boreal in Tahoe.
Back then, there was absolutely inherent risk, no helmets. Yes, getting hurt is a possibility. But being too safe has its consequences as well. Now everything is safe and the world is full of wimps.
There-s a reason civilizations get taken over eventually. We-re living the decline of people who think everyone-s equal and no one can be offended

This place was so much fun. I say this having suffered a traction park injury. I slid down the Alpine slide on my back after I fell off one of those little cars. When my parents took me to the first aid building, I remember them telling my dad that they were waiting on two ambulances, and one helicopter for different patients and to take me to the hospital by car. We still went back after that, It was the greatest of times.

Who-s here after watching the Action Park Documentary on Netflix - lol Also that -employee- who died after hitting his head wasn-t an employee. Apparently being labeled an employee meant they didn-t have to report the injury or death (regulations were lax back then) so they said he worked there. To be fair this was uploaded 3 years ago and is pretty accurate compared to the Documentary

idk about this wave pool, but I often went to the ones in the public baths in vienna and they are perfectly safe when you can swim. If you can not swim you should stay behind the line for non swimmers. Not really the parks fault that people overestimate their swimming skills. 1000 people does sound too much though, that must have been super big.

I took my daughter there many years ago. like 30 or so.
I completely agree with this. I'm a thrill seeker and that bob sled thru me for a loop. Literally, took a curve and ended up some odd number of feet in grass dazed and confused.
Yea, had an incident on that water thing. That's all I'll say.
Took my daughter home early.

I gotta be honest, that park would have been a blast. That was the good ole days. We had a swing like that only you had to climb up a dead tree and swing over rocks before landing in the freezing river in a place known as chemical valley. Mine runoff was a big thing too there were no fish in the creeks that fed into the river.

Speaking gif safety in amusement parks, I twenty to Universal Studios Orlando somewhat recently. One thing I saw was literal safety nets under the roller coaster tracks. These are some fast moving roller coasters so there being safety nets under them makes sense incase the riders fall out for some reason.

Grew up going to Action Park and got crushed by the alpine slide more times than i can count. That place was a right of passage for NJ kids in the 80s. Got bit by a snake on the motor boats. The entire staff was high. That place was the best. Never saw the loop slide.

I grew up 2 towns over from this park and went a decent amount as a kid. Whats in this video is true BUT there are benefits to such an environment. for 1 your tolerance to pain and discomfort is substantially higher than your peers.

I'm curious. But have people tried going down the water slide head first instead of feet first because I feel like that would be the only plausible way for anyone to successfully go through the loop without much any injury

So glad to see that my favorite amusement park as a 12-year-old boy in the early 90s is now the subject of so much fascination. Yes, the place was Lord of the Flies meets Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Wait. there's a loop water slide in the West Edmonton Mall still standing, hatch and all. I've been on it and the design is different from action park's so I wonder if that keeps it safer

When I was a kid a summer camp I went to would take us to a local. alpine slide. Kids would come back really messed up. Lol the 90s safety was not as important as it is now.

The park should have been closed permanently by the city for all those injuries and the park should have been sued for 100 million dollars after the first fatality.

3: 11 imagine if you took the slide and you got stuck at the bottom because you couldn-t do the loop-. Yup I will stay at least 10 miles away from that slide.

This park is still open. They just changed some of the attractions and renamed the park Mountain Creek. In my opinion after 2 visits, it-s not worth it.

Rule #1 of White Water Rafting:
NEVER try to stand up when you fall out, I'm assuming people riding that weren't instructed.

Just looking at that loop fills me with anxiety. Did no one at any stage of the design process realize that was a terrible idea?
