#shorts #Charlotte #CaughtOnCamera
wow
Scary situation
Imagine you see this and your kid is on the next cart
So much for inspections from the state. 😮
Give that man a million dollars for finding that. Just a lawsuit would have been 10 times that.
The best he’ll get is a handshake, no money cause this is a business.
They’ll probably give him a free entry to the regrand opening lol
@Charlie Martini A very likely scenario.
Pretty sure it’s supposed to do that😮
Nope…. Never again, I know is safe, but I check my car at least 3times a week. Don’t like to gamble and don’t trust corporations.
Brother you gamble with other people on the road, everything you eat or whenever you go outside. Welcome to life when you can die at any moment
@Melan Choly agreed, but in my view the more and Wild you gamble the more you loose.. now I’m getting old and soft and a complainer. That said if you young and adventurous fearless and have no responsibilities (kids) ….. go for. I did some forceful parachuting long ago and the first time I pee in my pant 😅.. stay safe and aware.
You can trust that corporations will do anything that benefits themselves.
THANK GOD FOR EXCELLENT EYES, THAT IS NOT A SMALL CRACK IT IS VERY BIG. THAT WOULD BEEN A NIGHTMARE COMING INTO ACTION. BUT TO GOD BE THE GLORY, SEEN AND SHUT DOWN BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT.
That ain’t no crack bud that’s two different objects now. You can see the sky through the polezzz now
Looks fun… I meant fine. 🤦🤣
Very keen observation considering how fast his car must have been traveling.
I’m sure it just happened minutes before this was recorded… These ride’s pick up vibrations at the operators board and it will shut down the ride…
He watched it for a while a few rides in fact he didnt want to over react and then had to get a proper angle. Went through several employees whom did nothing. It was a significant period of time before they even shut the ride down.
Bruh
The guy who welded that joint will remember it.
Um thats metal fatigue bud. Aint no weld where its broken
@Shawn Horvath It likely started at the diagonal weld then breaks off through the material. There are several welds at that location.
I mean look at that brilliant engineering. Why isn’t it counter angled?
Its a suporrt bean a shock absorbent
It has to be thre if not with ttaht angel will.break if is solid
Incorrect it doesnt do this.
Stop bixchin out
Only in America
God bless that man.
This was just on our TV news. I’ve never been on a Rolla coaster. Also some kids got stuck upside down for 3 hrs on another one
“Plastics”….From the movie…The Graduate.
We’re is this😢
We’re not sure where this is located!🤡
@J RamboCarowinds
Near Charlotte, NC
This is right down the road from me. I rode it not too long ago.
This is why I don’t get on Rollercoaster anymore.
2 to 3 feet? Really? Just like a man to exaggerate size!!
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
That’s what you get for buying Chinese steel
I bet the ENTIRE frame of that rollercoaster is made of cheap brittle steel and will have to be completely demolished
OMG!!!!!
I won’t ride this rollercoaster now UNLESS it has this crack! You cant take the excitement away from me 🧐😤😅
who is the man send to news
I’m surprised no one mentioned ocean gate. Six flags in Houston closed long ago for similar reasons.
That’s God who showed the guy that beam!, Glory unto the name of the Lord Jesus!
Large crack? It’s full on broken.
OMG
😮
Bro do these amusement parks never go through inspections? I’m seeing way too many amusement park accidents or ones that were on the verge of a accident like this one.
That man saved lives .
WOW
W👀w just l👀K at that “HUGE CRACK” in that Rollercoaster 🎢 Track.OMGOODNESS…..!!! 😧🤯🥶😳🤢
I have been on that ride I noticed a bit of a line but I ignored it.. The name of the park is kearowins
Dude I would have just thought it was some fancy impact reducing joint on the ride
Some super glue and duct tape. We all good bro
Thats a broken pillar.. wondering what’s loose or broke in this.😮
Think about the cash that the theme park or the ride inspectors would have paid him for this footage. They would’ve still been forced to shut down the ride, but it could have been fixed quietly.
Chinese steel?
this park is completely neglected if that giant crack is that bad
Good eye 👁🗨
That’s not a crack, that’s a break.
Im a welder and I don’t trust anyone’s else’s welds, but mine.
New fear unlocked. Thanks. No more coasters
There is no way that moved 2-4 feet I mean it’s terrifying asf but it didn’t move that far maybe half foot or so
Joo wat kaputt wie ist das denn passiert 😮😮😮😮
