DENHAM SPRINGS - Officials are responding to an incident at Tiki Tubing that left one person dead Saturday morning.

The incident happened after 11 a.m., but the cause of death has not been announced.

Tragic no matter what, these guys in the news last week for being “unsafe” in some people’s eyes.

Seems like they’re in the news every week because of a death.

Is it the high river and currents? I am assuming this is people drowning?

Perhaps a pterodactyl attack? Or maybe spontaneous combustion?
High speed tube collision?

This is why we can't have nice things. Won't be long until they shut it down eventually I'm sure. Hopefully they let people weigh the risks themselves but if there's one thing I learned this year it's that the government can't help themselves and people somehow support it.

Did they not say last week it was shut down for the time being due to the current?

I can't believe they still do this. They were talking about banning it and I thought they did 35 years ago when people died.

I had a friend die there. Drunk off his arse, and he was responsible for it, but man it seems like a lot of people die there.

Don’t think the govt should shut them down or get involved but I’m not sure i could own it and know every summer X number of people are gonna die and in some way I helped facilitate it. But I guess you could say the same thing about a lot of business and professions. It’s just more of a direct correlation to the death than say a car salesman.

Has the Amite historically been dangerous? I remember people—including quite a few kids—always drowning in one but can’t remember if it was the Amite or Comite.

It's about time for the government to step in and start requiring Tiki to hand out some sort of floatation device as a safety measure.
