[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to a civil lawsuit, criminal actions should be explored.  How this horrific looking contraption could have been open for public use is beyond me.  [/quote]

[b]The guy who designed it is a high school dropout[/b]. He dropped out of school at age 24 and he's the 'inventor', the 'creative mind'.
Great idea.

So what. He is an engineer.[b] Other pretty impressive people never finished high school[/b] or college. What a dumb thing to point out. [/quote]

You need a very specific education to be responsible for other people's safety.
It's very different than thinking, making a computer system or selling something - do what you want. Drop out of school - it's your life.

Designing something that children will ride? Either you have the correct education or you hire a team that does to go over the design.
And you follow their directions.

Why not have him design airplanes ? Because that industry is regulated.
Plenty of people design their own airplanes and fly them - and they often crash. That's fine, do what you want.
But once you are talking about other people riding in the plane you design you need the appropriate education and certifications to design the airplane.[/quote]

He is NOT an engineer. He is a builder, unless he holds an engineering degree and/or has a PE license.[/quote]
