A person familiar with the investigation confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday the boy was decapitated. Paul Oberhauser told local television station KCTV Paul Oberhauser shoulder restraint busted loose on Paul Oberhauser Verruckt raft July 26. The Nebraska man said The Nebraska man just held on, and a video shot by The Nebraska man wife shows the strap loose at the ride's end. Paul Oberhauser said Paul Oberhauser reported the matter to park workers. Kenneth Conrad, Kenneth Conrad, told WDAF-TV that during Kenneth Conrad trip down the waterslide last year with a friend, the friend's shoulder strap came completely off.

Along the way, riders clutch ropes along the inside of the raft.

Although Ken Martin has not seen or ridden Verruckt, Martin said a more solid restraint system that fits over the body - similar to those used in roller coasters - may have been better.

The divers are tying the tail with straps and then we will try [to lift the tail] two ways - floating balloons combined with cranes, so that the tail sector wouldn't be damaged, because we assume the black box is in the tail sector. – Fransiskus Bambang Soelistyo	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
