    Mountain Coaster Closed. Woman Thrown From Ride

    I'm actually staying around Gatlinburg this week and was wanting to go on this ride.

    Man, that looks like a pretty innocuous ride. Looks more like she might have just fallen off. And they found nothing wrong with it.

    ...On July 3, the front passenger of a double ride slide was thrown from her slide and suffered fractures to both wrists, a knee cap, head trauma, and possible broken ribs, according to Chris Cannon, Director of Communications for the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

    The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

    After the incident, Cannon said a third party inspector completed a full inspection and found no issues and determined the Mountain Coaster was in proper working order at the time..."
    Soooo, the ride is working properly but you just might fall off and get badly hurt?
