On the 7th of August 2016, 10-year-old Caleb Schwab was enjoying a day out at the Schlitterbahn Vacation Village theme park in Kansas. While riding the fifty metre Verruckt water slide – one of the park’s biggest attractions – his raft became airborne and collided with safety netting, killing him instantly. It was assumed, at first, to be a freak accident… but a length investigation in the aftermath of his death would reveal the truth: the slide had always been unsafe, and should never have been allowed to operate in the first place.
