Screaming New Jersey Teen Gets A Face Full Of Seagull On Amusement Park's Slingshot Ride

Screaming New Jersey Teen Gets A Face Full Of Seagull On Amusement Park's Slingshot Ride

New Jersey teenager Kiley Holman was celebrating her best friend's birthday by riding the Slingshot at Morey's Piers and Beachfront Waterpark together. The theme park ride straps you into a rounded cage with two seats to be flung into the air at 75-miles-per-hour.

What Holman didn't expect was to get a face full of seagull as they ascended 44 feet into the air.

In their interview with FOX 29 Philadelphia, Holman said:

"I knew there was no going back, it was just going to hit me."
"I didn't know what to do, so I wait for [the ride] to spin over and then I just grabbed it and threw it off me quick."

Friend and birthday girl Georgia Reed was asked if she knew what was going on in that moment, she simply said, "Nope." All she was focused on was screaming her head off during this terrifying ride.

Reed's mother, Arena Reed, told Daily Mail she had no idea what had happened until the teens were off the ride:

'I saw the wings fall from the vehicle, but at first I thought they were tickets.'

Luckily, the girls had a laugh about it and no one was hurt.

This isn't the only instance of a rider colliding with a feathered friend. In Virginia's Busch Gardens, Fabio Lanzoni was celebrating the then-newest roller coaster, Apollo's Chariot, in 1999.

He came back at the end of the ride with a bloody nose. Unfortunately, Fabio collided with a goose resulting in him needing stitches and the goose meeting a gruesome fate.

Since this birdie ended up surviving the encounter, and no one got hurt, the jokes are fair game.

When asked if the girls would ride again, they gave a sincere "hard no."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
