Six Flags Tragedy

There's no guarantee that the cables were thirteen years old. The only thing that article states is that the original company hadn't replaced them in thirteen years. It's always possible that the park went with someone else for replacements. I doubt that was wise, but it's still possible.

If that is the case, then whether it was the mechanics or operators or whoever's fault, they are employeed by the park (right?) so they are the one's at fault (possibly for hiring incompotent employees who will find it difficult to find jobs later, I think).

(Saturday, March 18, 2007) - Seven Carowinds employees suffered minor injuries while test riding the BORG Assimilator roller coaster at Paramount's Carowinds theme park in Charlotte, North Carolina. According to park officials, the ride operator unlocked the pins that hold the seats in place as the train was leaving the station, causing the seats to shift position.

Actually, every roller coaster is designed so that without a safety harness you can still ride that ride and never fall out. It's just a precaution like a seat belt is when you ride your car.
