Where's My Feet?

In a Kentucky Six Flags Park, a 13-year-old girl had her feet chopped off. It was on a Superman drop ride. I couldn't quite tell what the cause was, but witnesses said that they saw some cables break on the ride, so I am assuming that the cable cut her feet off at the ankle.
The Superman ride drops riders from over 120 ft, at speeds up to 54 mph. A big Six Flags man says that these rides have been safe for the past however many years. Six Flags has closed some rides similar to the Superman one just to be safe.
I wouldn't want to have my feet chopped off!
