[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say this event has seriously opened my eyes to the presumption of safety we have in amusement parks vis a bus rides. If I go to Hersheypark and the coaster is running, I assume that means it was tested for safety, approved by a governing board, and frequently inspected and maintained to be up to safety regulations. To realize that depending on the state that is not at all a given is quite sobering. [/quote]

Seeing a commercial for Lego Friends Amusement Park just makes me thinks of this kid.

A PP mentioned that the bars were bent and there was blood on the netting, but when I keep thinking how this could happen, I think his strap failed, he was flung forward, and the raft went over him.  Splashing blood, bending the bars and causing additional injuries if his neck wasn't already snapped.

I want to feel like it would be okay for my kid to ride a water slide again.  I know mostly it is, but I can't imagine the guilt his parents are feeling.  Their kid's death wasn't their fault, but I'm sure they blame themselves irrational as it is.[/quote]
