What the article dosn't have is the reaction from my imbecile Congresscritter Ed "Fast Eddie" Markey (D)Mass., who blames this tragedy on the Republican Congress.

So it is Bush's Fault!

I suspect a Cheney/Halliburton connection to surface soon.

Poor Ed Markey, when the 'rats controled the House he was a big shot Chairman. Now his big issue is amusement park safety.

Hmmmmm

The spelling is different but maybe its a plot by all the Gorlicks and Gorelicks of the world against Bush!

I wonder if this death was caused by the ADA.

[Dave278]

I am sure a SUV was somewhere nearby.

[CastleMan95]

I'm with you on that...what a desperate act to blame this on the Republicans. One of the most pathetic partisan attacks ive ever heard. I guess im not surprised and Im sure no one else on here is.

industry officials said Monday that the statistical chance of dying on a ride is one in 760 million.

If we can save but one life by spending $200 million to commission a study to determine the safety of T-bar restraints and impose a government mandate requiring amusment park owners to modify rides with T-bar restraints it will be all worth it.

A lot of press here about this here. The mother want's to know how they could let him on the ride, duh. The law is clear in such matters. A traggic accident but I'm guessing she'd be the 1'st one to complain if they hadn't let him on.

I remember something similar happening over 20 years ago. At the time it was established that if the person was short and over a certain weight, the centrifigal force popped them out of the ride like a piece of popcorn. I kid you not. But then again, I did read this over 20 years ago! :)
