(CNN) A judge has dismissed indictments stemming from the August 2016 death of a 10-year-old boy on a Kansas City, Kansas, waterslide. Wyandotte County District Court Judge Robert Burns tossed the cases on Friday against three executives and two companies associated with Schlitterbahn, the company that built the 17-story attraction, according to court documents obtained by CNN. Caleb Thomas Schwab, 10, was killed on the world's tallest waterslide in 2016. It was certified in 2014 as the world's tallest waterslide. He was decapitated when the raft went airborne and hit overhead hoops and netting attached to the slide, investigators said.
