A Kansas water park plans to tear down a giant water slide on which a 10-year-old boy died in 2016.

A water park company co-owner accused of rushing the world's tallest waterslide into service and a designer accused of shoddy planning have been charged in the decapitation of a 10-year-old boy on the ride in 2016.

Billed as the world's tallest waterslide, Verruckt has been closed since Caleb Schwab died on the ride in August.
