Verruckt is billed as the worlds tallest water slide with speeds reaching 70mph. The article seems to be confused with the child's age and his family confirmed he was 10yrs old. Riders today reported problems with the restraint system. A reporter from Kansas City tweeted that the boy became air born and his head struck a support pole and he was decapitated.

The ride opening has been delayed and the slide re-designed several times due to rafts flying off the ride during testing of the ride.
