Kid breaks legs on Deja Vu

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

I was at SFGA yesterday and while i was in line for Deja Vu i asked the ride operator what causes Deja Vu to break down and he said lots of stuff and that last week they had to close it because a kid broke his legs on the ride...

If you ever noticed when your on deja vu they have written on the back of the seat in front of you not to stretch your legs and touch the car in front of you...well a boy did that and when they went over the butterfly turn it snapped his legs...

i dont know if what the ride operator said is true but that is kind of amazing...

I doubt that is true since there wasnt a big thing about it, I think that they were just making it all up.

thats what i thought too because i know if it was true i would have read about it on here but when i went on the ride i stretched my legs before the ride started and when the ride turns its definately possible...plus out of all things why would the ride operator say that?

Then again, if there wasn't a big deal about it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

The media actually misses alot and most of the time the "good" stories aren't covered and little stories are, but the public think the little stories are a big deal.

Back on topic, of all the warnings you repeatedly hear over and over at the park, the warning about keeping legs down on deja vu is pretty legit. I could easily see this happening...

While it is possible, and I'm suprised it hasnt happened yet, I believe its untrue.

I've also heard a ride op at Deja Vu say that 51 people died. Don't believe them.

I once heard a ride op say that the ride was closed and I should check back later.
