Yeah. It almost looks like it bottomed out.

Is it just me, or have people been dieing on roller-coasters a lot lately?

Looks like it hit the railing to the left,but something must have slipped down on the main support for it to be able to hit that

Pretty sure it hit one of the barricades on the bottom, so the ride may have been swinging too far off-center (i.e pull back one those clanging steel ball doohikies, but then pull it to the left before letting go).

Looking at it closer, I don't see how it missed the red railing on the right on the way down. It also looks like one of the riders dangling legs may have hit that railing

No shite. People always gave me shite for not liking rides. Natural selection at work.

Holy shite that video.

I refuse to put myself on any ride that is the combination of fast, high, and portable. All that breaking down and moving wears shite out.

I'd def get off the ride holding my neck like big mama after a fender bender saying "I hope you have good insurance."

I operate a bunch of differant kind of rides at the county and state fare and ain't never had this kind of bad thing happen. Most of us are very professional and good at our job and don't do drugs. Maybe you can learn to respect us a little more and stop running your mouth.
