Caleb was found dead at the bottom of the slide in the pool and police confirm to PEOPLE that he had been decapitated.

However, Henry (the co-owner of the water park) clarified that now that the ride is open, it still hazardous, but in the safest way. “It’s dangerous, but it’s a safe dangerous now,” he added. “Schlitterbahn is a family water park, but this isn’t a family ride. It’s for thrill seekers of the world, people into extreme adventure.”

My exact reaction. Poor family. Couldn't imagine losing a 10 year old let alone losing him by decapitation. Jesus Christ. At least shut the park down out of respect for a while.

No I'm not. All we can hope for is that it was so traumatic that his mind went into shock and prevented him from being aware of the world post decapitation...

Henry was then tackled and muzzled by the park's lawyers.

No kidding. A couple of days after a kid gets decapitated on your water slide, you say...

"It’s dangerous, but it’s a safe dangerous now."

It was shut down Monday and Tuesday, and I'm sure that particular ride is still shut down.

That quote is from when the ride was initially opened. It isn't a recent quote

It's a poorly written article. That quote is from 2 years ago

All I heard was that it was an injury to the head.

I guess all they can do now is appeal to peoples' alpha-ness. They ought to rename the ride "You Ain't Got The Nuts For This Ride, Pussy".

New ride idea: "Sawdust LOCO!". You get fed into a woodchipper... (not for the faint of heart).

No. The park reopens today, that ride is closed for the season.

Yeah that's an extremely misleading article. That quote is from the initial opening a couple years ago of the slide.
