I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

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.
I'm here to prove you wrong.

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.

Yeah, it's just a scary thought.
