Do Not Ride if You're Not Bulletproof

Boy, they've got some tough theme parks in Arkansas:
A boy was injured by a stray bullet while on a ride at an amusement park in what police Tuesday called a "freak accident."

Hot Springs police spokesman Cpl. Tom Winton said that it would be nearly impossible to tell who fired the shot in Monday's shooting at Magic Spring & Crystal Falls amusement park.

"It's still being investigated, but I'm pretty sure it's going to wind up being a freak accident," Winton said.

The victim, an 11-year-old boy whose name was not released because of his age, was struck in the left wrist by a .22 caliber bullet riding the Old No. 2 Logging Co. Log Flume at the park, police said.

They always warn you that you ride at your own risk, but I don't think mixing the shooting gallery with the log flume is a great idea.
