Lol if you think I'm structural

I really liked the story about the guy who "designed" this thing bragging about it to some other guy who just broke his foot sliding down it. It really gives you a sense of the overall level of intelligence we are working with.

Don't make fun of engineers, guys! Sheesh. You rough ridin' downgrades have no idea how hard it is.

It's actually very easy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

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.

I mean, anyone can tell a plan is gonna fall outta the sky and kill people. If you build one and knowingly let people fly on it after you are aware the engines sometime stop you shouldn't get sued and charged with a crime.

you should take a few minutes to explain whatever it is that you are trying to explain a little better.

It's just a response to Wacky's cavalierness. Yes, amusement parks can be unsafe places, but people like Wacky who are excusing the facts here under the guise of "should have known better" are morons. The public has a right to the assumption of reasonable safety. Getting on an airplane is also inherent unsafe, but there is an expectation that safety and maintenance are important. If an airline willfully stops maintainenance and an aircraft crashes, you can bet there will be criminal charges.

It is explicitly against the law for an airplane to continue flying without the proper maintenance.

it’s hilarious how the engineers in this thread are devoid of any guilt. the public relied on them to keep us all safe and they failed. I don’t see any reason to trust an engineer again. you can expect the state to overhaul the engineering requirements asap. hopefully they make it retroactive, as it seems many here could use a refresher course or two

if you do the crime you are going to do the time, even if you’re a white collar engineer. this is just as bad as a gang drive by or bank robbery

Guys I've played rollercoaster tycoon like a lot and I've killed a lot of people....and I kind of enjoyed it....I feel like I am partially to blame here.

If I build something that I know, or learn later, that is super duper dangerous and highly likely to hurt people, how am I different than a drunk driver who hurts people?

The drunk driver has the excuse of at least being impaired.

My ranking of who I blame for this death slide in order (professional real serious answer here)

* Designer guy
* Owner guy
* Anybody who had knowledge of testing failures and didn't speak up
* Lack of state regulations on super tall joy rides
* Lack of enforcement of any regulations on books by state departments (including waving of those rules through agreements)
* Engineering guys for not using logic to be like...uhh guys...this doesn't look safe
* Local govt for allowing this without proper vetting
* Isaac Newton

You forgot the lawyer who tried to intimidate a 17 year old lifeguard; or are you leaving him out because that was after the death?

I thought that was the owner ...but yeah at that point the death slide was fully operational.

I thought it was a lawyer acting on the owner's behalf but I could be wrong.

How about that dad that got his face smashed on a concrete wall and then let them talk him into changing his story? (At least that's what I understood from the indictment.)

I'm listing pre construction....not fault of the kid death....but yes he would be right above Newton if I was.
