The Verruckt Water Slide Accident | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror

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.

I tell the true stories behind some of history's greatest disasters... but without sensationalism or disturbing imagery. Fascinating Horror is all about in-depth research, respectful storytelling, and learning what we can from the mistakes of the past. You might be surprised to discover just how much of today's world is shaped by long-forgotten disasters from decades gone by.
