Louisville, Kentucky — Well we got an update from our good friend, 613. He is the father of Kaitlyn Lasitter. The name may not ring a bell for some of you, but for some of the old-timers of this site, the name brings back some memories. Kaitlyn was the unlucky girl who happened to be riding the Superman Tower of Power at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. The ride had not been maintained correctly, and a cable snapped severing both of Kaitlyn’s feet. It was one of our first stories we ever posted in which a family member came in to participate. Needless to say it was, and still is, an interesting read. Well, I just heard from 613 and we have an update in the form of a news article (and an awesome picture of the beautiful Kaitlyn).
The Courier-Journal has an article up detailing some of what was done, and not done, that lead to the malfunction of the ride Kaitlyn was on that day. One of the major points being that maintenance workers did not follow several of the ride manufacturer’s instructions for caring for the very cable that snapped. Hands-on inspection on any of the 10 cables on the Superman Tower of Power ride had not been performed, and park technicians did not lubricate the cables monthly opting to apply cornstarch instead.
Read the article for more details, but in a nutshell, the park is fucked. They failed to follow simple maintenance procedures provided by the manufacturer of the ride that led to a mechanical malfunction and the physical injury to Kaitlyn and others on that ride. While I am sure that Kaitlyn and her family would rather this incident never had taken place, unfortunately, it did. So I am hoping that the park gets reamed and the Lasitter’s get PAID. Not only for the gross negligence that led to the severe injuries Kaitlyn suffered, but also bolstering my suspicions I already had about these theme parks.
Thanks for the heads up on the article, 613, and again, I hope you, Kaitlyn and the rest of our family are doing well.
