Bird gets head cut off by amusement park ride

[Itsbackfliptime]

I don't know how many of you have ridden a skycoaster (Ripcord, Xtreme Skyflier at most parks) but for those of you who haven't its like a giant swing. You get winched up about 150 feet and dropped and you swing. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ih-DKUHcwKw

I worked at the Ripcord at Cedar Point this summer and on my last day this is what the steel cables you swing from did to a bird.

i went on the skycoaster last week and they were so many birds. i was drunk and was like what if one hits me in the face. damn son that would hurt. poor bird.

 

[freestyler540]

thats very unlucky for the bird

 

[garrett.]

on one of the last days of camp, we got on the chair and i noticed a squirl pirched right next to the rollers coming out of the chait station thing.. needless to say our chair owned it

 

[anxju]

exactly what i think

 

[AhrenStein]

pussy

 

[pns513]

that is a terrible way to go

 

[honeydip]

what the fuck.

the exact same thing happened to me, except it was the birds wing. i was waiting in line for the ride (i was next to go), and these people swing across and just slice this birds wing off and me and my friends were freaking out. it was sick

 

[TheButterHashira]

thats a good way to go. instant death pretty much no pain.

petas gonna shut down your roller coaster

 

[.KYLE.]

ya peta is gonna shut that place down after that

 

[TheButterHashira]

well everyone knows that the joy of thousands never outweighs the death of one bird

 

[MistaFab]

happened once when we were waiting in line, blew the bird to shit, it was hilarious
