46 yr old man killed at Houston Rodeo

So a guy falls to his death, and the two people behind him can't stick around and answer a couple of questions?

 

Barrel of Fun

 

I hope they weren't heckling the guy while the ride was in motion that it caused him to fall off.

 

Thanks!

 

^This is also interesting...I'm sure they had problems...

I'm sure there isn't much attention from a contactor...maybe maybe not...maybe complacent like most minimum wage workers...I still wonder why two people behind him left...something seems amiss...

 

I can't get pass this. Grossly irresponsible for them to leave. I'm guessing they will eventually come forward and explain what they saw. It must have been very shocking and disturbing.

 

Can anyone ever really feel safe on a carnival ride? Poor guy.

 

If they were illegal aliens, they'll leave and never come forward with info.

 

wow just wow, i'd would have gone with maybe they pushed him off before that

 

Didn't even think of that.

Let's hope not.

 

Hispanic? :grin:

you're probably right...still something else has to be going on...i'm somewhat surprised there aren't any security cameras...not a bunch, but a handfull that would have at least caught part of the incident...

Like someone said before, I feel safer at a place like six flags vs. carnie rides...

 

so you think there are more murders in houston than illegals?

 

They didn't want to be snitches, mayne. Street Code. Respect that.

 

Holy crap! My 7 year old son and his buddy were in that car! I would have lost it if they'd gotten hurt.

 

I bet he was drunk, there is no way to fall off that ride otherwise, even without the bar down

 

Another one falls victim to the Rodeo rides. Thank goodness the child isn't dead.
