Boy decapitated by roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia

[Schneed10]

On a serious note, he made a bad decision and got himself killed. It's a crying shame in all honesty, and it's nobody's fault but his own.

But people die on account of their own stupid decisions every day. Some people drive home after 10 beers. Some people feed wild animals. Some people dash across the street in busy traffic just to make it to work on time.

This particular death however, gets press because of the gruesome and rare nature of the death, not to mention that rollercoasters and thrill rides have become a hot-button for people.

But in the end, this was just a guy making a dumb unfortunate decision that got himself killed. Is it sad? Yes. Is it out of the ordinary? Not really.
