Common Sense Saves Lives

At least that’s what someone should have told a 17-year-old Georgia teen when he visited Six flags. I was watching the news this morning and more information came out. Apparently the boy and his friend jumped the fences to cut into line and save some time.

The big story now is that the boy’s family is wanting to sue Six Flags! I am so tired of people not taking responsibility for their own actions.

I am truly sorry that this boy is dead but it is because of his own bad decisions that this incident happened. He totally ignored warning signs and had to jump two 6-foot fences to get into this restricted area. I think it was obvious that he wasn’t supposed to be there but he didn’t care.

So who is wrong here? Should the boy have paid attention to the obvious warnings or did Six Flags neglect to safeguard the ride with enough restrictive measures?
