I was on the Flume deck when the rail broke due to overcrowding. I had been on a walk-a-thon that day that concluded at the park. It was a hot day and the place was absolutely packed, The rail ran along the perimeter of the deck, and the deck was overloaded with people leaning against the rail. People fell below onto the concrete canal abuttment. I was almost trampled to death when people tried exiting down the stairs. I was off my feet , being moved by the crowd. If not for the chain link fence i grabbed hold of, who knows.... they repositioned the rail later to split the deck and keep folks in single file.
