Water park co-owner, slide designer indicted in boy's death


(CNN) A water park co-owner and a slide designer have been indicted in connection with the 2016 death of 10-year-old Caleb Schwab while riding a water slide at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City, Kansas. The three defendants also were indicted in connection with injuries suffered by 13 other people, including four other minors, while riding the water slide. Henry is not a named defendant in the indictment against Miles and the water park that was unsealed on Friday. Verruckt, the world's tallest water slide, required two to three riders to be strapped in a raft with a total weight between 400 and 500 pounds. Investigators also found multiple flaws in the ride design, noting that "it was never properly or fully designed to prevent rafts from going airborne."
