Investigators said the ride's brake system failed 10 days before Caleb's death. Mr Miles allegedly avoided or delayed repairs that would take Verruckt out of commission during the active park season. Mr Miles was indicted on two counts of interference with law enforcement and Schlitterbahn was indicted on one count of interference with law enforcement.

The water park and its former operations director Tyler Austin Miles, 29, were indicted on involuntary manslaughter and several other charges in Caleb's death, including aggravated battery and aggravated endangering a child. The Verruckt water slide is more than 51 metres tall. His death seemed like an isolated accident until whistleblowers from the water park revealed experts who examined the slide found evidence indicating other rafts had gone airborne and collided with the overhead hoops and netting before the fatality, according to the indictment. Ten-year-old Caleb Schwab was killed and two women also on the raft were left severely injured.Ī video showed Caleb was following all rider instructions when he died. The indictment said the Verruckt water slide raft at Kansas City's Schlitterbahn Waterpark "went airborne and collided with the overhead hoops and netting" designed to keep riders from being thrown from the slide. The water park operator and an executive have been charged with involuntary manslaughter over the 2016 incident. Park owners say their investigations have never shown evidence of criminal conduct.
