I saw s TV news story on this where the church's pastor (?) (or youth leader?) was on camera saying that the church group had left the park and convened outside for a picnic lunch, and then some of the young people had gone back in ahead of the group's scheduled return to the park.

The AP says the boy's name was Asia LeeShawn Ferguson IV and that he was decapitated by the roller coaster. The other kid who'd climbed the fences with him (his cousin, age 19), and the people on the coaster, were not injured.

Why comment on this thread? Perhaps to open a dialogue about the things that teenagers do without thinking, that can get them seriously injured or killed. Perhaps to talk about ways to prevent them from doing those things until their brains have developed sufficiently to consider the consequences of their actions... or perhaps to conclude, as the original poster did, that such accidents might serve the purpose of "culling" from society those who won't follow its simplest rules designed for their protection and safety.
