Re: Six Flags Tragedy

I know. It makes me wonder how safe rides really are.

Very safe. It's certainly unfortunate, but the occasional accident shouldn't scare you away. The design, construction, and maintenance of these rides are done with a careful eye toward rider safety. From the story, it sounds like defective material somewhere along the line slipped through QC.

Re: Six Flags Tragedy

Scary.. "Williams' daughter had traded seats with the 13-year-old, and was sitting on the other side of the ride. "

Well, I'm glad I dislike amusement parks, and I'm afraid of heights

Agreed. How many people ride these rides in a summer vs how many get hurt. It's not like we see these stories every day.
