[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]

Most rides have the inspection dates and who inspected them posted in plain sight for riders to see. Some may self-inspect but they are inspected.

As far as accidents on rides, really, how many people ride park rides every day compared to how many accidents there are. Very few accidents in relation to the number of people in and out of various attraction parks. Think about it.

Would you ban something that 2 out of millions of people are injured on - and most injuries are people not reading the warnings and following them.[/quote]
