« Go Back

Went to Oakwood Park a good few years back
Went on the full size Pirate Ship with a few other schoolies. Sat on the very back, thinking I'm hard.

Half-way through the ride, I realise that the guard bar holding me in is a bit loose on me. Unfortunately, the ride had already started, and I was sliding about. When we hit the full vertical I had to wedge my legs in and balance upside down; I started slipping out at one point. I honestly thought I was going to die. After two minutes of white-knuckled terror, the ride finishes and I get out, vowing to never set foot on a ride in that place again.

About 3 years ago (a good 6 years after my Pirate Ship escapade) a girl went on a water-shoot ride and died due to being loose in her harness and literally falling out during the slide. Oakwood have had to perk their safety up just a bit after that.
