Continued…..
At first things were alright. The generators shut off and the air grew quiet. We joked for a moment. Then I looked down. We were 75 feet in the air with only the ground below us. The leg lock was still working. Then something flashed in my mind, what if the power goes and the lock is released. I started crying really hard. Sasha kept comforting me, joking and telling me it will be over any minute. As the minutes passed, which felt like an eternity, it was still not over. I could here Karma behind me say, look! They are evacuating the park. Hundreds of people were told to run to the front gate. They totally cleared the right side of the park... I knew something bad was going to happen. They don’t clear out anything unless they don’t want witnesses. By this time I started hyperventilating. Sasha was great; he helped me get my breathing back, which then turned into an asthma attack. A 16 year old employee came up the log-floom ramp and tried to talk to us. He kept screaming out to us “sit back and relax, take deep shallow breaths…..” karma’s boyfriend yelled out “what the fuck do you mean, take shallow deep breaths? Those are opposites you ass hole, get us the fuck down!!! He asked if everyone was alright. Sasha told him about me. The ground was full of police and a large group of employees who looked like they were being trained by their team leader on “DANGER”. No one was doing anything. Then a man yelled from the back “there’s an 8 year old up here, get him down!!!! Again, the kid yelled to us the same crap, and we all screamed at him. By this time it was 30 minutes upside down. My face was red and hot. My fingers were totally saturated in sweat. My legs had totally gone numb from the weight on the bar. They went into spazom and were constantly skaking. I did all that I could to hold on to the leg bar. If I didn’t I could feel myself slipping out. I was thinking about death. I now had no more strength, so if the locks opened, I could not try to grab anything. If I fainted, I would have gone limp and fallen to the ground. Though I was very happy to be sitting next to my boyfriend. I don’t know how horrific and experience like this one would have been for those who sat next to a total stranger, with a possibility of death in the air. Then I thought I heard a fire truck siren in the air. I started screaming out “there here, the fire trucks are coming”. Sasha and karma said there were no trucks coming. I was hallucinating from the blood in my head. The two guys in front of us turned and told me everything was alright. We then saw a cherry picker in the distance make its way over. The thing was going 2 miles an hour. When it finally got under us, it lifted a man up with a crow bar. He wedged it under the front car, and then pushed us backwards. We were moving back off the cork screw and down the track to the bottom. We rocked back and forth for another ten minutes. I think I cried harder at this point. We finally stopped. The paramedics came over and gave me oxygen. They got us off the car and onto a stretcher. 20 people swarmed around me, asking me if I was alright. I started getting claustrophobic from them and told them to get away while I breathed the mask. I looked up and everyone looked like they hell. Teary-eyed and red faces. No one could really walk from the pressure of their weight on the bar. It was a mess. People were getting names and phone numbers, giving out water, and offering bribes from the park. “WE WANT TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING< ANYTHING. The kids were offered season passes, tee shirts, hats, anything. Karma’s boyfriend said “get a lawyer, your not going to take anything these people have to offer. Everyone agreed. They put me on the ambulance and sent me to the hospital. They got rid of the asthma attack for me, they also helped me lower my blood pressure and heart rate= which was sky high. The doctor told me that he use to work there, and that there was so much shit that was covered up, for the public. They released me after an hour. My blood was so thin, it kept leaking out over the gauze from an IV.
I will continue this later…….
