All she has to do is show her stubs.

Well, if she was looking for emplyment at the park, at least she has her foot in the door...

The news on the local radio station that covered this story this morning was sponsored by Gold Bond Medicated Foot Powder.

heh...You're all going to hell...

The cables were obviously made of Kryptonite.

This is a very sad and tragic story.
My kid loves these type of rides...and it scares the b'jezzus outta me.

I bet she wasn't ready for that 2 foot drop.

Well, at least she'll still have a leg up on the competition

Rumor has it that Nike is gonna offer her a contract

Looks like she had surgery

(CNN) -- A teen whose legs were severed in an accident at a Kentucky amusement park has undergone surgery, a park spokeswoman said Friday.

Spokeswoman Carolyn McLean said she has been in touch with the 13-year-old girl's family and believed the girl is still receiving treatment at the University of Louisville Hospital.

Hospital spokeswoman Julie Gordon would not discuss details of the surgery or recovery, citing patient privacy.

The girl's name was not released because she is a minor.

The girl's feet were completely amputated just below the ankle Thursday afternoon while riding the Superman Tower of Power at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville.

Her feet were recovered by Six Flags staff and were sent to the hospital with her, McLean said.

During the Tower of Power ride, passengers are hoisted aloft, suspended momentarily, then pulled down, according to the park's Web site. Passengers -- secured with bars and seat belts but with arms and legs free -- drop 154 feet at 54 mph, stopping "just 20 terrifying feet above the pavement," the Web site says.

A police dispatcher said a cord wrapped around the girl's feet while she was on the ride.

"I seen the car go up. Then, like, the cable broke ... and I heard a lot of people screaming," Chris Stinnett, who was at a ride next to the Tower of Power, told CNN affiliate WDRB/WMYO-TV in Louisville.

"The cable went under the car -- and I seen it pull up and hit a lot of people -- and I seen them bring their legs up," he said. (Watch witnesses describe the accident Video)

"We are not confirming that happened," McLean said. "There was a lot of misinformation from witnesses."

The ride will remain closed until a full investigation by state officials and "our team of experts" is conducted, McLean said.

The inspectors will interview staff members, witnesses and speak with the girl and her family, she said.

"Every ride, every investigation is different," she said.

The rest of the park was operating as normal on Friday.

I sure hope they can reattach her feet.

Man, that's fucked up. :shake:

They're re-attaching her feet. That's a step in the right direction.

I assumed they would try to reattach her feet.
Still tragic though. Can you imagine the pain at first.

I remain undefeeted.
