Riders say straps came loose on Verruckt

Source: KSHB

Three weeks ago, Duenas spent the day at Schlitterbahn with his family. He and his friend decided to ride Verruckt. When he got on the ride, Duenas said he started to question its safety features.

“I kind of looked at the straps they were using and [thought it was] kinda fishy, it was just Velcro,” he said.

During the ride, Duenas said his shoulder strap came undone and he had to grip the handles by his legs to hold on.

“We came down that first hill and the strap just came off, completely,” said Duenas. “It just flew off so I had to grab ahold of the straps that they had on the raft to hold myself down because we still had that other hill to go over.”
