Flight Deck at CGA Accident

[GuyWithAStick]

On June 13th, 2015, a park employee and a guest were injured on Flight Deck at California's Great America. The maintenance worker was struck by a train coming into the brake run, and was thrown about 25 feet. A guest had a hand injury from the impact. Both are in the hospital as of June 14th at midnight(PDT). None of the injuries were too major or life threatening, but it's still not good news.

Although it doesn't say so in the news article, the maintenance worker was struck while lunging for his dropped mobile phone. Should have known better.

Ah, an engineer in a ride area thinking he's invincible, never seen that before!

Idiot.
