Manslaughter, not murder. Murder is intentionally or knowingly.
Further, if many people used the slide or ride without harm, there was not a “substantial AND unjustified risk.” Nor was there a “gross deviation” from an undefined standard of care for water parks as it relates ot criminal activity. I’d bet money there has never been a criminal conviction for homocide for a water park operator based solely on the operation of a slide/ride in any state in the US. And I would make that bet knowing full well the crazy shit some states have allowed in civil and criminal prosecutions historically.
Dude, I asked you to look up the Kansas statutes. Quit making a fool of yourself! I just wonder since you have been following my posts how you could have missed this since I have posted it several times. Or are you related to the other fool on this thread?

An amusement park manager was found guilty Monday of reckless homicide in the death of a woman who was thrown from a ride last year, but he avoided a murder conviction.

Dude, these weren’t the operators. They were the owners, ‘designers’ and ‘builders’.
Sadly it could get that bad. It cut or knocked a politician’s kid’s head off. That’s about as close to lese majeste as we can get in the USA.
What society will tolerate is up to it to choose. It’s sad when anybody is killed. The famous St. Louis Gateway Arch was marred by the deaths of several construction workers. I’ve wondered why no memorial on the site. It would only be respectful. A video shown there does mention the deaths.
But life is not one dimensional. We choose risks. I did when I got a motorcycle and jolly close got killed once. Do you see me being Carrie Nation in Harley dealers? Nope.
