I awoke to two different accidents this morning, both right in the living room.

One involved a HUGE potato chip that had been crushed:

Yikes - I'd SO want my money back.

I looked up the fine print on the ride:

"Riders must be 62" tall.  Absolutely NO pregnant riders!  Danger, riders MAY lose body parts."

(Thursday, June 21, 2007) - At Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky, a 13-year-old girl had both of her legs severed above the ankles while she was riding the Superman Tower of Power freefall ride.

Superman Tower of Power

Superman Tower of Power is 177 feet tall. Its gondola is lifted upwards 12 mph to a height of 157 feet. When the gondola is dropped, it reaches a top speed of 54 miles per hour, and riders experience momentary freefall. The ride's braking system engages 20 feet from the ground, slowing the gondola to a stop.

According to one eyewitness account reported to WHAS-TV News, a cable snapped as the gondola dropped, and wrapped around the girl's legs.
