If the ride was designed to kill, was this the only person to have died on it? If so, the design was not as efficient as, say, the guillotine, wouldn’t you agree?

Maybe it’s something like, if you purposely make an untypical move, it could hurl you into a wall or bruise you or knock you up.

I’m just wondering why it happened to a politician’s kid. Spirit of Hogg?

I would wonder if someone could actually do real computer simulation (not animation) and determine if there are things a rider can do which would lead to a serious injury or death.

If such a move was the distinguishing reason for the death — what to do? Close it forever? Add more safeguards? Sternly warn riders not to make certain moves (”as to do so could prove fatal”)?

If the accidents could all be tied to riding in a certain unreasonable way —

Then yes. I’d ride it myself.

My SWAG here is — it was unsuitably ridden. I might want to design a kind of remote control dummy to deliberately provoke accidents if possible. It might be easy enough.
