Reigning_King 07/27/21 4:29:25 PM #9:	UT1999 posted... really? what if it was ruled that the park was at fault for the accident though? 99% of the people who drove to the amusement park probably put themselves in greater danger just by getting on the road. It's like when there's a plane crash or even just malfunction that makes the news and people go "Oh god I'm never flying again!" completely disregarding how many flights happen every day without a hiccup. People get tunnel vision when they sense/hear about danger and while that can be helpful in some situations in can cloud your judgment in others. <cite>Reigning_King posted [p:956517809] in If someone...

It was later revealed that at least 13 other people had suffered non-fatal injuries from hitting the netting above the slide on Verrckt. Criminal charges led to the arrests of several individuals, including the park's owner, operations manager, and lead ride designer. The charges were ultimately dismissed with the finding of multiple procedural issues with the case's presentation.

captpackrat 07/27/21 8:46:57 PM #32:	There have been a bunch of deaths at Disneyland. The People Mover was one of the most dangerous rides, despite having a top speed of 7 miles per hour. Two people were killed in separate incidents when they tried to climb between cars, fell out, and were run over by a following train. Another person was paralyzed when she climbed out to retrieve a lost hat, got left behind, tried to exit through a service door, and fell from a stairway. Two people have drowned in the Rivers of America. One teenager snuck in booze during Grad Night, got drunk, stole a rubber boat, capsized it, and drowned. Another teen and his younger brother hid on Tom Sawyer Island until after it closed, realized they were trapped, and tried to swim across. The younger boy couldn't swim so his older brother tried to carry him across on his back, and drowned half way across. The younger brother was able to stay afloat by dog paddling until he was rescued. Another person was killed when a metal cleat on the hull of the Columbia tore loose, striking a guest in the head. The normal inelastic hemp tie line had been replaced by a cheaper nylon rope which could stretch. The ship approached the dock too quickly and and an employee slipped the rope onto the cleat to brake the ship, something it was not designed for. The rope stretched under the load, ripping the cleat free of the wooden hull and launching into the crowd at high speed. A 23 year old woman suffered a fatal cerebral aneurysm after riding the Indiana Jones Adventure. A woman was decapitated on the Matterhorn. She was not properly buckled in and was thrown from the bobsled then struck by the following car. Another boy stood up during the ride and fell out; he died several days later. A woman became ill after riding Space Mountain. At the unload area, she was unable to exit the vehicle. The cast members told her to remain seated while they removed the vehicle from the track, but she was accidentally sent through the ride a second time. She was taken to the hospital in a coma and died a week later. One person was killed by the Monorail when they tried to sneak into the park by climbing onto the beamway. The Monorail came around a blind corner and splat. A cast member was crushed to death by the America Sings ride, caught between a stationary platform and a revolving wall. One person was killed on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and ten others were injured when the train derailed. The locomotive fell on top of the first car, crushing it. Three people have committed suicide by jumping off the Disneyland Hotel. Two people were murdered in the old parking lot, one stabbed and another shot. There have been at least two and possibly three suicides at the new Mickey & Friends parking structures. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:956525494] in If someone...

The normal inelastic hemp tie line had been replaced by a cheaper nylon rope which could stretch. The ship approached the dock too quickly and and an employee slipped the rope onto the cleat to brake the ship, something it was not designed for. The rope stretched under the load, ripping the cleat free of the wooden hull and launching into the crowd at high speed.</quote> captpackrat posted... </cite> <quote>One person was killed on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and ten others were injured when the train derailed.

adjl 07/28/21 9:50:00 PM #44:	OhhhJa posted... It's not really a gamble if something is incredibly rare. If something incredibly rare happens, it's probably safe to assume it won't happen again the next day That is the precise definition of the gambler's fallacy. A rare event happening one day does not in any way influence the chance of it happening again the next. Without external influences, it is equally likely or unlikely every single time. It is indeed probably safe to assume that it won't happen the next day, but that assumption was just as likely to be safe on the day that it happened. --- This is my signature.

ParanoidObsessive 07/28/21 9:50:07 PM #45:	Oh, and I remember I loved going on the Shockwave, in spite of the fact that we'd heard rumors that someone got their head kicked clean off their body because of it (not sure if that was just BS or real - though either way it didn't stop us from riding it). And at least one time I was at Great Adventure I basically went back and forth between Splashwater Falls (where you're absolutely soaked to the bone with water) and Freefall (where you go up about 70 feet and then drop straight back down at full speed), because I discovered that the wind-shear from Freefall basically insta-dried me off from Splashwater, and there were like no lines on either ride that day. And I was absolutely sick as a dog later that night, either from sucking down too much polluted water or from massive chills (or tainted food, or something else), so that was a personal story of misery and I still went back again after that. As a side note, I also have a friend who goes to Disney World fairly often, and he went on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and it immediately caused him to start passing a kidney stone, which is apparently a thing the ride does waaay more often than you'd think any ride should. Or at least any ride that they continue to allow to stay open. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Thunder_Mountain_Railroad#Kidney_stones He was in immense pain, had to be taken to the medical area, and he said it was basically the most painful thing he's ever experienced in his life (I can relate, I've had gall stones). And he's going back again in about a year or two (though I assume he won't ride the same ride again). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:956560844] in If someone...
