legislator. the family's pastor says they are grieving the loss of the child.

"we also hire an independent third party company that comes in and they do independent random visits to the park, so we never know when they're coming...they've come out twice so far and we've passed with an elite status" along with the random and routine inspections there are clear guidelines and warnings for guests -- including scales to make sure riders meet requirements. "we have height checks and every guard goes through a safety schpiel before the guests get on the slides, so they know what the ride is going to be like" safety checks that many parents say make them feel safe on the slides. we reached out to wet n wild they sent us a statement that said "---" and while the rides at water parks are not regulated by the government -- the water is. the southern nevada health
