Will An Injury Stop You From Going?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Since some people can't take old topics, I made a brand NEW one up.
Would you go to SFGAm when injured, and it could get you more injured? I'm not talking about fake injuries either in which many people try to pull.

If I had a broken leg, or arm I don't think I would go to the park until it heals. I love SFGAm to death, but if I injured something badly and I kept going, it would only make it worse. So, I would have to stop until it healed completely.

No, it's a valid question in my opinion. How many people go on the rides with injuries, and really won't it just cause more problems? Most of these people are going on rollercoasters. Many of the rollercoasters are rough for someone without broken bones to be riding them. I know SF has some fakers, but I'm talking about the real injuries.

Well an injury would stop me from going on rides.

I might stop going on a certain ride if someone else got injured on it. I mean I hesitated going on Giant Drop when this one guy fell off it because he wasn't strapped in right and he blamed sfgam.
I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.

Yea, hurt mostly by Galvan or his brother, maybe he is hurt mentally because of his girlfriend. JK :lol:

I would still ride the rides even being hurt. I dislocated my shoulder, and I went on coasters less than two months after, when you are supposed to let it heal for 2-3 months.

There was to someone that fell off giant drop. He hadn't been straped in right and he was going down when at about 50 feet he fell out. And died. this was a couple of years ago.

I'm just saying what I heard, and I heard that too. The kid was too small, and he fell out of GD. I'm not making this up either. I don't know where I heard it, but it wasn't on a rumor site.

It must have happened in California. What do they call there Drop ride over there? Look at Giant Drop in bold on this link.

No, they dont know how he fell out last time i checked. When i was on the gd once the operater accidentally hit the other green button that opens the belts and then hit the other one and just walked away. And our harnesses had come up about half way. So if that happened to the kid and then he never pulled his harness back down. That may have been how that happened. Just my guess though.

Sfgamer...Consider this a warning. Research your information before you come preaching it to us here.
