What Really Happened?

Currently Playing: What Really Happened on Ride of Steel Darien Lake July 8th 2011?

On Friday July 8th 2011 Ride of Steel at Darien Lake was operating normally. A guest entered the red train through the exit using a wheelchair and the assistance of a family member. The guest boarded into row 11 and the rest of the train was loaded with riders from the standby line. All T bar style restraints were checked by the ride operators and the train was dispatched from the station. Little did the 32 riders on the train know that they were about to witness one of the most infamous ride accidents of all time. NOTE: The "it happened again" on the thumbnail is referring to the fact that this coaster experienced two rider ejections, and the ride model experienced three.
