I woke up this morning to check Screamscape.com and saw that Xcelerator had a broken cable back on Wednesday and had injured a few riders. There is a video link that was taken on those on-ride cameras and it's pretty crazy to watch. You'll see a father and son sitting in the front row and just as the launch and are about to go up the hill, you see a spray of debris and I guess the son had some gotten some sort of leg injury.
Hopefully, Doug and Brent, you can talk about this. I do live really close to KBF, and it is scary to see a ride like that go down. _________________ Travis LaRiviere

It's bad place to be. See someone you can't help, but so close at the same time is horrible. I being see a lot of talk about Intamin having a bad record in safety on their rides. Is there any truth to this? Also remember the CN real show Brain Rush. That was film at Knotts, I wonder if that show continues if they will still use Xcelerator for their end of the show.
I have to stay that seat popping up in that video almost had me holding my chair. I hope he doesn't get anything serious from that. _________________
Wow I saw this story on Screamscape but didnt bother to read it. This is so messed up and the video was a little disturbing. I've heard and read different things about the boy's leg. I hear it completely cut his leg off, minor cuts, and nothing at all. So what is the official word? _________________
I believe what the news report said was that the boy receive a laceration on his leg and the man complained of back pain. But they said that was it. Hopefully that is all that happened. It is such a scary thing to think about.
And still, the fact that it was caught on video still amazes me. Just such a horrifying thing to watch. _________________ Travis LaRiviere

That's just like the super aggressive rumor community that run-a-muck on the coaster boards- "it completely cut off his leg." We can always depend on coaster fan base forums for a full "Exaggerated Report."
