The ride simulates taking a boat ride over wild rapids, but it\u2019s supposed to be safe, even for young children. However, the family\u2019s boat suddenly flipped \u2014 and their safe little boat became a deathtrap.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Raging River On-ride  (HD POV) Adventureland\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mzfYtvHCCBg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In an interview with\u00a0<em>Good Morning America<\/em> on Tuesday, father David recalled the traumatic event:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen it flipped over, all of us were trapped in the safety seat belts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Both parents, their youngest son Gus, and their niece were able to free themselves from the safety belts and swim to the surface. However, 15-year-old David and 11-year-old Michael both became trapped by their belts and couldn\u2019t escape. Their father described the horrific moment under the water:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI see the silhouettes of my sons trying to grab each other, grab us. They wanted us to help them. We couldn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>David says the power of the artificial rapids was too much for him to save his sons:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m drowning. The river was so intense, it was like a suction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The family screamed for help, and first responders on the scene leapt in right away to free the two boys and rush them to the hospital. But it was too late.<\/p>\n<p>Teenage David is still in a medically-induced coma; his little brother Michael (pictured above) passed away. Just 11 years old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: World\u2019s Tallest Water Slide Shut Down For Good After Child\u2019s Decapitation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the family suffered minor injuries. But the psychological damage may be permanent, especially for the Jaramillos\u2019 youngest son, Gus. David explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe\u2019s scared. It is a nightmare. He closes his eyes and thinks about the water. When he wakes up, he realizes the nightmare\u2019s true. So there\u2019s no peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We cannot even imagine.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the loss of her child, Sabrina Jaramillo told the outlet:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI will never get a chance to see him grow up or get a chance to see him graduate\u2026 I feel like Adventureland robbed me of my baby. I\u2019m gonna never get a chance to see him grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So heartbreaking.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Parents speak out after 11-year-old killed in amusement park accident | GMA\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ui18Jn2ooJo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As for that statement about Adventureland\u2026 well, the park is apparently cooperating with investigators who are trying to get to the bottom of the incident. However, they are NOT ready to take any responsibility for the injuries or the fatality. Attorney <strong>Guy Cook<\/strong> released a statement on behalf of the park to\u00a0<em>ABC <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a><\/em>, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Raging River ride has been in operation for nearly four decades\u2026 It is a safe ride\u2026 The ride was inspected by the State of Iowa the day before the incident and was in good working order.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wow. A \u201csafe ride.\u201d We\u2019d say tell that to the family of the dead child, but they literally <em>are<\/em> doing that.\u00a0Just gearing up for the inevitable lawsuit, we guess?<\/p>\n<p>This is the second death on the ride in five years, but Cook insists the two are not connected in any way as the 2016 casualty occurred when an employee fell into the ride\u2019s conveyer belt and fractured his skull. Saturday was the first time the ride had been operational since shutting down in 2020 for the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>If YOU want to do something to help the poor family, there\u2019s a GoFundMe set up by the Jaramillos\u2019 church to \u201chelp ease the financial burden of a very tragic time.\u201d They\u2019ll surely have some serious medical bills with a child in a coma, not to mention funeral services.
