Sure does seem like a high level of indifference can be easily proven by the info that’s available to us. 

Again, I mentioned it earlier, but it really doesn’t seem too much different to me than killing someone while driving drunk.  Didn’t MEAN to do it, but you knew you were taking unnecessary risk for selfish reasons.  A person can drive drunk thousands of times successfully without getting in a wreck....but then...

this is a fair logic.

Not saying those dudes don't deserve what they have coming to them. In hindsight, though, they maybe should have gone into hiding in another country for their own sakes. Pretty bad mix of public outcry against them and a person of means hell bent on taking them down. Seems like a no win situation.

Is it Schwab driving this? 

[Dr Rick Daris]

That really is like the craziest design ever. I just don't understand the thought process behind putting metal bars across the top on something that had to have a weight limit to ensure people didnt go airborne.

Buncha dumbass engineers

I mean, it did stop them from going too airborne...

I would have designed that top net to be covered by fluffy pillows, but I know more than those guys, so who knows.

I'd have made the slide so that it didn't launch rafts up into the air.

[chum1]

I hadn't actually looked at a pic of the thing before. There's a giant hump in the middle. When you're going really fast, I believe that's known to physicists and engineers as a "ramp."

Yeah, I think that portion is probably this slide's danger zone.

[wetwillie]

How long did this slide operate before killing someone? I was thinking it went a few years since opening of the ride without anyone dying.

Nice setting.

Second that

I think the hump was changed after some airborne rafts during testing, to be less deathy.

[pissclams]

would you believe it if i told you that they put the ramp/jump in as an afterthought b/c the boats were going too fast without it and the original set up was too dangerous?  because that’s what happened

The indictment details fourteen injuries suffered by guests who rode the slide. The first report was of a fourteen-year-old’s concussion in 2014. Other injured riders included a 46-year-old man whose eye was swollen shut after his raft collided with a concrete wall (which led operations manager Miles, according to the indictment, to force medical staff to alter their reports), and the ten-year-old Schwab, whose injury is described in the document as “decapitation.”

Oh yeah, by "changed the hump" I really meant "changed from no to a hump".

that's not what happened, they changed the design to alter the shape of the hump, and even though it was still problematic they said hold my beer, we're gonna get this thing done so we can be on tv and not get more embarrassed by missing out on more summer after missing our original 2 opening dates.

it’s exactly what happened

It didn't go over your head, your head collided with the protective netting.
