Wouldn’t this be more on the hydrodynamics engineer(I feel like we’ve already had this discussion).  Also how many mechanical engineers does it take to defend a structural engineer?

did you read the things?

the dynamics of the actual ride were not engineered, just trial and error cobbled together by bubbas

Yes we have had this discussion before and I pointed out that it would be fluid dynamics since the raft traveled through water and air.

Kinetic friction should be the same regardless of the surfaces that are touching, obviously.

Looking back at this thread your student law talks effectively killed this thread last June.

The part about Newton being wrong about how fast the raft would go down this slide was easily my favorite part of what I read from the twitter thread.

Just assumed the settlement was so excessive in exchange for some agreement not to do this.

You didn't even need those incident reports to see this coming. There was rough ridin' video out there of sleds flying off the goddamn slide from the get go. Anybody with half a brain saw this coming. You don't need bullshit science smack talk to discover that this was a bad idea. Those dudes shouldn't be in jail tho.

the fact that clams is having difficulty understanding who to blame is kind of the problem here. there should be a federal testing agency for all amusement park rides. and there already is! but not for water slides, for some reason.

If its determined that these guys broke a law that can result in jail time, then they 100% should go to jail.

That makes sense, but whoever gave the go on this project should be held responsible. Who's the final person to sign off on this death trap?
