This is a ride that is in many amusement parks across the country, with a history of MILLIONS of riders riding safely.
This is a tragedy no doubt, but to bash amusement rides is ignorant.
Statistically you are far far more likely to wind up injured any other number of ways than on a ride, particuarly at a permanent park like this.
There will be an investigation, and the cause will be found. Now whether its a design flaw, or a maintenance issue, or just the fact some insanely freaky situation happened, we won’t know for a while.
Imagine folks reacted like you every time a plane crashes? Time to stop knee jerking and be responsible.
Don’t give me that crap about kneejerking and being responsible. I guess it’s easy to say that when it has no direct on you. But what if this had happened to a friend or family member of yours? Would you still be talking about your statistics then.
This was a 13 year old girl who got on an amusement ride, like many other 13 year old girls do. And now her life is ruined because somebody didn’t do their job.
