Originally Published by:CNN's Anderson Cooper and Kamala Harris talk over each other in heated post-debate interviewA video has captured theme park guests leaping into the water at Six Flags Over Texas following a malfunction on its Roaring Rapids ride, drawing shouts and gasps from onlookers.
The footage begins with five of the rafts shown bunched together in one section of the ride in Arlington, Texas. The current of the water ride then appears to reverse, and multiple people are seen jumping into the water in hopes of exiting their raft. “Get the kid!” a person is heard shouting in the video. “Alright, this ride is going to be shut down for a while.” The incident happened this week after “one of the rafts at Roaring Rapids became stuck” and “guests were told to remain seated in the raft while the ride was restarted,” a Six Flags spokesperson told WFAA. The current of the water ride then appears to reverse, and multiple people are seen jumping into the water in hopes of exiting their raft.
In 1999, a 28-year-old Arkansas woman drowned, and 10 others were injured after a boat overturned on the same ride in about 2–3 feet of water, according to WFAA.
