Well, The Batman roller coaster that is. "A 17-year old park visitor scaled two six-foot fences that secured the Batman roller coaster and was struck and killed by the coaster at approximately 2 p.m. today. We do not know why this person was intent on gaining access to this restricted area, as multiple signs clearly state: Danger Zone / Do Not Enter / Authorized Personnel Only.
Some witnesses have stated that the individual was trying to retrieve something he had lost. Others reported that he was trying to touch the ride. This is merely speculation at this point, and we are working with park visitors and local police to learn more. No guests on the ride were injured. The visitor’s family was at the park with him, and Six Flags representatives are currently with the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family."Source: www.myfoxatlanta.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=6871578&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1 |

Batman...fighting crime, and those who want to touch him.
I hope the guy wasn't really just trying to touch the ride. If so, this is Darwin award worthy.

I was on SUPERMAN in Gurnee, Il and some idiot jumped some fences to go retrieve a cell phone. We were all like, WTF!?!

Hard to feel sympathy in this case, Here's a tip fellas, if you see a fence with "DANGER, KEEP OUT" on it, don't climb over it...especially if there's a multi-ton, speeding chunk of metal whizzing through the area....You don't go near the speeding chunk of metal, you don't get beheaded.

Even though we are supposed to be a compassionate species, I have a hard time feeling sorry for people that do things this caliber of stupid.
These danger signs do not apply to me, neither do the multiple fences. I'm invincible.
Well, something else would have killed somebody with a mind like that prematurely anyway. I just hope they don't shut down that ride, because it's freaking awesome.
I was there last year, and you'd have to have ninja skills to get past all the fences there. Once again, can't feel sorry for him.

Deserve to die much? Sorry, no sympathy. There's fences for a reason folks. I don't care if the kid lost his mind and was trying to retrieve it, those who don't know a roller coaster is coming deserve to die.

I feel no sympathy for the fact this idiot couldn't read or think logically.

Warning: Potentially offensive, douchebaggy, yet honest post coming up.
Good. He only would have bred and unleashed more stupidity (assuming he wasn't already a father) eventually. It's best to knock the unintelligent off the circle of life. Survival of the smartest FTW.

As somebody who's ridden the ride, loves the ride, and has stood in the PSYCHOTICALLY long line for the ride, I can honestly say that this moron had to have gone out of his way to do this to himself.

Let's see...
A 17 year old teenager jumps the fence to get near a ride.
Who wants to bet that this was a dumb bet with his friends?
