Accidents at theme parks don’t happen often but when they do they can be truly horrific. Even the tamest of rides can be deathtraps if the proper safety precautions aren’t taken and unfortunately, that is exactly what happened to four theme parkgoers riding a river rapids ride at Dreamworld in Australia.
The gruesome tragedy occurred in October of 2016 when a Thunder River Rapids raft carrying six passengers collided with another raft which was empty. While the two children on board were lucky enough to be thrown to safety, their mothers and two other passengers weren’t so fortunate.
