Carl Horvath is trying to resume his regular life after being stuck on an amusement park ride for over 48 hours. The Mississauga man joined This Is That in studio and spoke with Pat Kelly about the harrowing ordeal.

Carl, a season pass holder at Superland, had been spending a Sunday in the park. Just before it closed, he decided that he wanted to ride the 'Drop-Ocalypse' one last time.

"The Drop-Ocalypse is a 26-story elevator shaft. It's that free-falling nightmare of being on an elevator where the rope's been cut," Carl said.

But that's when something went horribly wrong. Carl was stuck on the ride for the next two days, dropping the 26 stories in complete darkness about 20,000 times.

"It wasn't until I was probably 40 or 50 drops in that I realized—wait a second—I've been forgotten," he said.

Two days later, after being rescued from the ride, Carl was taken to the hospital where doctors told him it was a miracle that he survived.

"The doctors said that my body looked as though it's been through a nuclear fallout," Carl said. The medical professionals that examined Carl said that his kidneys had become misshapen, that he had developed a heart arrhythmia, and that he had shrunk about two inches.
