The boy’s family was at the park at the time of the accident, according to the amusement park.

Sad story. Feel bad for the parents who are probably just findout this evening. From the article it appears the kids claerly jumped two fences that were clearly marked for them to stay out. A month or so at a Braves game a 25 year old man was sliding down the rails along a set of stairs and he feel to his death. People just don’t think anymore.

The bottom side of the roller coasters should be inaccessible except to maintenance personnel who have to use a keyed lock in a door set in a fence.

So these kids simply leaped over the fences even though signs said stay away?

Sounds like the San Fran tiger cages.
