- zakatov, on 07/20/2009, -0/+9Maybe he was trying to say "from Busch Gardens ride" but got cut off.
- Cerebron, on 07/20/2009, -0/+7Horrible reporting. Was he just hanging outside the gondola holding to the handle? or was he inside?
- AmericanGunner, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4To me it look like a leprechaun to me.
- MAXAMOUS, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4Bring back the free beer samples at Busch Gardens InBev! -.-
- suwoo244, on 07/20/2009, -0/+3i love the skyride, i've been on it at least a hundred times...throwing ice at the animals is always a fun experience
- TobiasParker, on 07/20/2009, -1/+3not really a woosh when the original comment wasn't really amusing in any way.
- asgardshill, on 07/20/2009, -0/+2The article says he fell into a "landscaped area", so perhaps bushes or trees broke his fall. 35 feet onto concrete would have torn him up pretty badly though.
- jtwyrrpirate, on 07/20/2009, -0/+2Hey now, Bill had a good run @ USF. Santiago, on the other hand...
- egofreak, on 07/20/2009, -0/+265 yards = 195 feet so no he did not
Fission Mailed. - 5ean, on 07/20/2009, -0/+2All ya'll gotta do is look up in the tree.
- BLish, on 07/20/2009, -4/+5imagine being the guy who actually had to climb up there and measure the distance he fell with a tape measure!
- masterkenobi, on 07/20/2009, -1/+2Hopefully he'll have a leg up on his recovery before football season starts.
- bicyclethief, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1So that's how kickers train during the off-season.
- TobiasParker, on 07/20/2009, -1/+2as opposed to looking at the specs from the ride, or simply guestimating it?
- tonytroz, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1WOOSH!
- Ajajadude, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1Hopefully he'll be back in time for the season. My Bulls never seem to have any luck with kickers...at least he's not a Gramatica.
- chrisinsocalif, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1Sounds like he took a half gainer no brainer.
- TobiasParker, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1Was he Wide Right?
- Chapman9110, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1"He was valedictorian of his senior class, the newspaper said."
- Prodigy1990, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1ive had nightmares like this
- anders5689, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1Growing up and living in tampa, I have been on this gondola many many times. The operators generally check the gates a good 25 feet away from the edge. It usually takes at least 30 seconds before you exit the building after you have been seated. I really don't understand how this happened unless he just decided it would be a great idea to hang from the side of a gondola.
- Ajajadude, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1You know the only reason he was kicker was because of his name.
- daboz912, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1facepalm.
This is USF not FSU!! - ahhell, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1Duh. When the thing starts moving....let go of the damn handle.
- Icarus25, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1I think he earns the achievement for "Going Down?"
/WoW - Chapman9110, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1I was there at the time this happened about 30 yards away. He must have got his sleeve or something caught in the latch because he was dangling for a while and the people in the car were trying to grab him before he fell. So the short answer to your question is he was outside of the car.
- sg17723, on 08/05/2009, -0/+0sucks to be him
- BLish, on 07/20/2009, -1/+1i being totally sarcastic. just clearing that up. :)
- dragtre, on 07/20/2009, -1/+1Wow, pretty incredible that he survived.
- daboz912, on 07/20/2009, -0/+0Yep, but we still get the ring like everyone else on the team (unintentional rhyme, apologies).
- RansomHoldiay, on 07/20/2009, -1/+1i go to USF.
- inactive, on 07/20/2009, -2/+1a whole theme park elevated 35 feet would be sweet though.
- ShellShock11, on 07/20/2009, -2/+1Seems like an idiot to me.
