Slingshot ride cable breaks seconds before aerial launch l ABC News

1. Thank youGod for letting it be known before things went bad

2. If you stare at the cord you can see it’s shredded. Pieces sticking out of it. Nobody bothered to change it?

3. Wow that’s insane

4. Ayo I live there 😳

5. I was on the ride a week before this happened

6. Some of these are just really bad, only using one cable on each side and some only have those two seats on its own connected to those cables. While solution is easy. Always have the circular cage, have seatbelts AND the safety metal thing over you (sorry english is not my native language) and have two cables on each side. This should be mandatory.

7. Hell naw

8. WTF 😱

9. inspected "ONCE A YEAR"?!!!! I'm NEVER going on this bullshit EVER.

10. Yo this happened to me at a them park but I didn't get on the news now I'm upset 😤

11. The black guy who took off running was like , nope 😂💀🏃🏾‍♂️💨

12. He said it right THANK GOD. Alot of things happen for a reason and oh my gosh the blood of Jesus never fails.

13. My boy ran for his life

14. Why is always the same cord. It’s always the cord on their right side.

15. It looks like a bunch of spider webs 🤮

16. Good thing it frayed before they launched

17. This shii aint safe

18. One pull from death

19. I don't, even go on the slingshot ride so I won't go on it.

20. Once a year inspection??? Hard to believe they are so lax. That should be inspected daily, you could see the chord wrapping delaminating at 0:38 . That should have been a dead give away, and should have been flagged by the attendants.

21. Once a year ?? No it should be checked every couple of hours

22. Really

23. IT WASN'T A CABLE, IT WAS A BUNGEE CORD.
