Frightening footage from the roller coaster
The shots are frightening: A little boy sits in the roller coaster when suddenly the fuse loosens ... Now the shocking video goes around the world.
Amarillo, Texas has an incredible security scandal in an amusement park. The danger was only publicized after a family man put a video of the roller coaster ride with his son on the Internet - in which this almost falls out of the car. Delbert Latham and his six-year-old son spend a day at the amusement park, which is anything but happy.
As the family sits in the roller coaster, the father records a video to remember the ride. His son looks excited and wide-eyed at the camera as the car picks up speed - a second later he is no longer visible. The boy slipped under the seat belt and fell to the ground.
The viewer's breath stops. All the more incredible is the speed with which the father responds. He grabs his son and immediately pulls him up again, where he holds him firmly in his arms. His own fear must be unimaginably great - yet he does not let her show it and calms instead even his boy, who pushes him in fear.
Latham and his son come away with a shock. They will certainly remember the roller coaster ride - but not as happy as expected. After the incident, the father posted the video on Facebook, where it has been viewed over 300, 000 times. The unbelievable: When Latham made an employee aware of the vulnerability, he seemed unimpressed. The accident had already happened several times in the car.
