Man thrown from Log Flume at Steel Pier in Atlantic City


Recommended Posts

Saw this on the local news today

They were on the boardwalk log flume ride called The Big Splash Saturday.

 

But their log didn't splash when it went down an incline. There wasn't any water in the basin, and the father went flying off the ride. The mother and three children were treated for minor injuries at the hospital. The father's being was kept overnight.

 

The log flume ride's closed until state officials complete their investigation.

 

Pictures of the ride are on the web page at the top where it says images

 

I hope everyone is alright from the accident.

 

I have been to Steel Pier a few times but never ridden anything there because I just don't like the way the park or the rides look. It almost looks like a carnival (complete with the annoying game operators asking everyone walking by to try out their rigged games like the basketball game with the oval basket rim) rather than an amusement park.

Park management said on the local news tonight that there was a problem with a power failure. I guess the water pump never reactivated when the ride restarted or something. Yeah, that sounds good. Aren't these boats supposed to have wheels and essentially be a roller coaster in water? I know the boats at Knoebels have wheels because we rode around in one one year at PPP or something.
