Slingshot Ride Caught on Camera Goes Awry! Watch the Video and see the terrifying incident!
The excitement and the thrill from just walking through the entrance of amusement parks is enough to give kids that exhilaration they're anticipating on amusement park rides. Even adults are thrill-seekers that they feel the excitement in the air as screams of joy and shrieks can be heard from the amusement park.
One of the most popular and extreme rides well known by many people is the Slingshot. Mt. Olympus Theme Park & Water Park in Wisconsin Dells is home to this famous ride, as 13-year old Trevor Larson and family friend Carrie Sueker is excited to experience a ride of their lives. When suddenly, the unfortunate occurred.
As they are being strapped into place on the catapult, the Slingshot cable all of a sudden just snapped, and was tossed to the ground. Fortunately the cable strap snapped before they were launched into the air. A man said in the background that he noticed something wrong with the cables. And he uttered in a low voice "I'll pray for you. the ropes are looking a little frayed."
Luckily no one was harmed in the process, as the accident was avoided. In the meantime, the theme park closed the ride to make faulty repairs and investigating the cause of the incident.
Theme park owner Nick Laskaris told WISN that this type of incident has never even happened once at the park. He said "It's unfortunate. Mechanical failures unfortunately do happen."

Customers should be the priority of safety and health. However, these incidents unfortunately happen once in a while, but surely it's the fault of the theme park for not checking properly their equipment. Hopefully incidents like these should be avoided in the near future and provide a more enjoyable, safe, and thrilling experience for the customers on theme parks. Check out the nerve-wracking video below caught by his very own father.
