Haven't found a link so I am not putting this in the headlines.
Just saw on CBS 2 news that a 68 year old man was in about 3 feet of water in the wavepool when he collapsed. Lifeguards tried to revive him but were unsuccessful. They are saying it could be possible heart failure.

I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Wow thats terrable, that must have been a scary sight for people to see.
Out of Colorado in the Piston home red blue and white tonight the 6'3 Chauncey BA....BA....BA.....Bilups!
This really can't be good for publicity. I pray for his family.
I;m interested to see how Six Flags will handle this. No reason to close the waterpark for coming days, but whether or not they will just because is a different story.
Around the world and back
I just watched the report on CLTV. That has to be terrible for all the people that witnessed it as well as for the family who said that he has had heart attacks before.

Had to have been pretty scary to have witnessed it. It's good to know that atleast the lifeguards know what to do. But it's unfortunate they couldn't save his life.
Heart Attack according to many reports.
Around the world and back
Saw the Heart Attack story on ABC and NBC. Though I can only imangine the percent of the GP that will label the wavepool as the cause of death...
i was at SFGA and hurricane harbor today and i saw the guy that died, very sad...
i was there with my family and they had the wave pool closed for most the afternoon... it was great i got to go on every coaster atleast once Eagle (1-RED)(3-BLUE) Demon-3 V2-1 Deja Vu-1 Raging Bull-3 Batman-3 Superman-1 Iron Wolf-2 Viper-2 GREAT TIME!
Yes, its true. We got there at 4 something and the wave pool was closed. then they finally announced that they WERE NOT gonna open the Wavepool for the rest of the day, Wahoo RACERS are still closed along with Hurricane Mountain...
ALSO!!!! Six Flags SERIOUSLY needs to lower Hurricane Harbor CAPACITY from 7100 to something way lower....although after the accident the lines got short. Short wait for Toilet bowls, Body slides and Family Slides. THey let us go through the lazy river continuesly, even with the yellow tubes becuase NO ONE was waiting for a tube.

Sad news for this man and his family. This is hard for the park just as much as it is for all who are affected by his loss. Last edited by DejaVu The Ride on June 29th, 2005, 11:54 pm, edited 1 time in total.
O.K A man has died and we are discussing capacity issues for the waterpark in this topic?
Take that over to the other topic that is going on. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
That's really sad. Must've been scary for people who had to witness it.
This is horrible! I pray for the family
^ I do too...that's just sad...I didn't even watch the news last night...I don't think it's reason enough to close down the park for a few days because from what I can make of it, I don't think even if the waves were running, if he was in only 3 feet of water that could've had much to do with what happened. As far as I know, we don't know anything about his medical history. He could've had a heart problem....if someone said that already, sorry...I must've missed it. My deepest sympathy to the family.
