Regardless of where the bigger people sit and if that was a factor, a person of any weight shouldn't be able to fly out of their seat. Ever.

Ever.Yeah. This ride should have just been torn down and forgotten about way back when it was first built and test rafts were flying off the track.

The only PE stamps required for stuff like this (in KS at least - California, Ohio and Florida might have different requirements based on the density of parks) are the structural engineer, civil engineer and the MEP engineer. The structural engineer holds no liability for the operation of the ride, just the structural soundness of the physical ride itself. Did the ride topple over and fall to the ground? No.These attractions hire a firm to design the rides, but they often times aren't licensed professional engineers due to the (somewhat) loose restrictions on designing rides. Most of the rides in the US are all designed by the same 2 or 3 firms. I've had to deal with them before on certain projects i've been associated with.
i'm not sure what kind of engineer would stamp the "engineering" that emo emaw is talking about. certainly not the structural engineer.

But, it's not like an electrial engineer can't stamp a drawing for an HVAC system or something (a PE is a PE is a PE).

Why is mocat confusing mechanical engineer with MEP? Does he not recognize a difference?

Sounds like some of you need to get back to Durand.

No idea where you engineering brains studiedFiedler I think? I don't know, my memory is all fuzzy after spending six years breathing in asbestos over in Willard.
