[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all has me thinking a little differently about amusement park rides.  I just assume they're safe!  Understand there's a risk to everything, but this is so not worth it.  WTF[/quote]

I am rethinking Disney, which is probably absurd but I am so horrified by this and have a 10 year old son.[/quote]

My gut reaction is yes, that's absurd, but then if you think about it - how often are these rides getting inspected?  Do all amusement parks follow strict guidelines?  Yes, there's a risk to driving a car, but my justification there is that I need to get to work to pay the bills.  Putting my 10 year old on a ride just for fun that might need repairs, or might be old, or whatever - what's the point?  Too many of these stories and this one was really just horrifying.  [/quote]

That part of the story was discussed several pages back......but rides are inspected daily at amusement parks, well before the public sets foot in them.  [/quote]
