[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to wonder if this is the first time the netting has ever really been tested as a safety feature on a water slide. I have seen in on plenty of slides I have been on but now I am wondering if they used it believing it would prevent an accident but never actually doing any testing. Now that they know how dangerous it can be, I hope it will cause some redesign of all water slides.[/quote] I think the designers took this safety net feature idea from a completely different sort of ride and just assumed that it would also work fine for this ride. As it turns out the netting itself caused severe abrasions to these victims and, of course, the metal supports caused a catastrophic injury to this young boy. This ride hadn't been "done before" for a reason. [/quote]
