Free falling drop tower rides always sounded like a bad idea to me. The ones where you dangle in a harness. Ive never been on one and refuse to go on one.

A 14 year old got flung out of one of those drops because he wasn't properly secured. It seems like it was a combination of him being too large, the bars not being secure and the kid not properly checked on before the ride.

A huge disaster

It's very sad but I don't think it's fair to close the ride.

Although you can see why the father thinks differently

These things are all over the world operate every day with no issues. This was a freak accident caused by gross negligence. As long as people are trained to operate the equipment there's no reason people shouldn't be allowed on these rides.

It sounds like a tremendous amount of neglect. From what I understand the child was morbidly obese and he shouldn't have been on it to begin with.

I absolutely agree. The fact that we have so few deaths or serious injuries compared to the sheer volume of people riding these sort of things is truly a testament to their safety.

The Batman beheaded someone in GA. I mean they dropped their hat, climbed over the fence and somehow their head was in its path and it beheaded them.
