A lightning storm began moving through Tampa Bay, Florida in 2011, and a 21-year-old park worker began moving guests out of the Key West Rapids Ride at Adventure Island. He was standing at the top of the water slide in three feet of water when lightning struck and killed him. It was the day after his 21st birthday.
