Normally, the greatest danger you’re likely to encounter at a Theme Park is agonizingly long lines, and sweaty crowds of tourists, but sometimes, a day of fun in the sun screaming with glee on rollercoasters turns dark, and lives are lost in the process. Today, we’re taking a look at the times when amusement parks weren’t so amusing anymore, ride malfunctions, human error, or horrible freak accidents, we have it all! Strap in, and for the love of all that is holy, please keep your arms and legs inside for the duration of the experience…it’s Dumb Ways to Die: Theme Park Edition.

Mountain Creek got rid of all the really dangerous stuff from the Action Park days. You can still see the remnants of some of them like the alpine slide but only pieces of the track remain.
eww imagine accidentally kicking someone's head off 😞
Girl fell 100 feet onto concrete and lived? Dayum
A maintenance guy died at BGW. He was working at Big Bad Wolf, the train came around the corner, and now he’s dead.
A guy fell from a observation platform at Kings Dominion and died
A guy wiggled under his harness and purposefully fell out of the shockwave roller coaster at Kings Dominion.
The one of Disney land scared me a lot of time
I bet Mountain Creek Park has now become a destination point. I could not stop laughing while listening about that last park. I'm still laughing.
If some of these are freak accidents, why include them in 'dumb ways to die'?died? Especially that poor little boy who died due to no fault of his own.
Need more theme park editions!
I wonder if it will be mentioned about the death at Fire in the Hole ar Silver Dollar City. I believe the story about it was train accidentally got switched to the maintenance bay. I believe the guy stood up got knocked in the head and died.
I heard a rumor that there are still some pieces of skull in the Batman ride area…
Allegedly his head exploded into tiny pieces.
Ever hit a watermelon with a hammer going 60mph?
Note to self: Stay away from Mountain Creek Waterpark.
Hats are irreplaceable. They are always the most important thing. Retrieve them, no matter the cost.
Mountain Creek is under different ownership and they got rid of all the fun…err, dangerous rides and they have a good safety record as far as I know. But Action Park will live forever in our hearts. That are surrounded by broken ribs and fractured sternums from the alpine slide.
Final Destination-Theme Park Addition
You made my childhood all the more interesting now that I know the true horrors of what is thank you very much.😂❤
as a coaster enthusiast who knows about all these accidents this hurts to watch
[i would rather ride every Zamperla Volare then watch this again]
10:25 Also, the passenger lost her leg. The bone shattered into hundreds of pieces.
Moral of the stories: to minimize the risk of being killed in a theme park, never wear a hat.
The Batman ride incident was caused because the kid was trying to jump the line, not look for his hat.
My mom and dad went to Action Park as a first date. My dad almost drowned in the wavepool. 😳
Love the dumb ways to die vids😂❤❤
🙂
What is with people getting their hats? You can always get another hat You can't get another life 🙄
Day 11 of asking infographic to make a show about the Hmong genocide after Vietnam war
My mom would only ride the Merry-Go-Round at amusement parks. I used to laugh at her. I’m 62 now and I will only ride that ride. But after hearing all these accidents. I think I will be content next time I visit an amusement park to just people watch and eat junk food. 😃
So many dumb ways to die
Kansas City isn't in Kansas, it's in Missouri.
i unsubed cause the aggressive pop up asking me to join the channel when i click on videos
Kings island had their own incident in 1991
Retrieving an object you lost on a roller coaster yourself is never worth it. Now for a story: my aunt and I went to Harry Potter World in Orlando and rode on of their 2 roller coasters. At the end of the ride there was a sign that said “lose something on the ride? Let us know, and we’ll get for you.” After we got our stuff from the lockers, I told my aunt “ We need signs like that at every ride at every theme park in the world. People keep suffering serious and sometimes fatal injuries retrieving their stuff.”
Even if it is very rare to die a theme park….the probability is never impossible. Also, the rarity of which it happens is no excuse to not just ask "When was the last time this ride was maintained?" Or "Can I really trust this guy to maintain a multimillion dollar piece of entertainment?" Or, dare I ask "Who signed off on creating this scrap?!"
However, there will always be those who try to cheat the system to get in a ride…that can't be helped by the people who run the stuff.
Unless you bear the moniker of "Action Park"…then you may not have a leg to stand on.
In all fairness to Action Park, it was the first "Water Park" the United States ever had. Especially if how prolific the name is.
I want to go to Action Park
I want to go to Action Park
Maybe don’t show a dead child’s photo
I still feel sadness for the family who lost the 10 year old boy on the water slide.
We can buy more hats people we can't buy more Lifes this is why most amusement parks have places you can store your hats or any other louse articles of clothing while on the ride!!!!!!
This video only highlights the disasterous results of completely ignoring guidelines…
Verrückt sind wansindig!
Last year, we actually stayed at the hotel immediately adjacent to Mountain Creek Water Park. Unfortunately, we were there for a wedding on a weekend, so no wiggle room to go check it out. However, it's not the same owners and all the rides designed by non-engineers have been removed. So, it's not like Action Park anymore.
some sounds like fated to die , lol . not all deserves to live as its not easy lol
😂 oh brother
Why didn’t you mention what type of ride the four died on in Aus? Btw Aus isn’t that deadly because of the unseen widelife 😂
Disappointed you didn't go into more detail about the Australia accident
There is a reason why you do not stand up during the ride!!
After listening to these im not so sure why my parent blame my generation on all the warning labels😂
I feel like they need to pay for the rights to the dumb ways to die song by tangerine kitty
