Thanks for posting this. It is sad but a reminder to never get into any and I mean any of those type of rides.

So very sad, I can imagine their heartache, and soon, law suit. If I had kids they would never be allowed to go on any amusement park rides, I don't think any of them are safe.

 

[God]

I would never let any 10 year old get into one of them.

They haven't yet released what caused the death or am I missing something?

That is one expensive screw up. What does the engineer have to say about this?.
