Another roller coaster accident

Post by Horus »

No not the referendum, but an accident in Motherwell Scotland, no clear information as yet, but it seems to be children between about 9 & 15 years of age. Luckily it seems not to have fallen very far and come off on a curve near the end. Reports say they are still in their harnesses, so maybe the injuries will be none fatal or god willing slight.

I hate those rides. I've never put my own daughters onto them when they were little and just cringe when I watch them particularly the travelling one what they throw up and take down weekly.

Hopefully none of the kids are hurt.

Last I heard, 10 injured and in hospital, 6 serious. I do hope they will all be OK. Another H & S investigation. Will lessons ever be learned?

I don't like those horrible rides - any of them. I highly doubt they're maintained, go too fast - I can think of millions of reasons why kids shouldn't be out there on some of those really huge rides ;) (Guess I'm a party pooper but I definitely do not like them)
