Girl...loses feet on Ride!

If the cable snapped, it's due to poor maintenance. The cable should be periodically inspected for signs of fatigue and corrosion. Probably, they'll spend a few weeks investigating why this wasn't caught, then they may make sure that the ride is being properly maintained in the other locations. I highly doubt that they would shut them all down immediately just because the one did this.

Yea thats what they do with King da Ka out at Six Flags Great Adventure. Nobody has been hurt, butt they check that ride so often that day old parts are being replaced with new parts. Sick ass ride though

Yeah, that's why it's basically nicknamed the 50% ride, because it's closed 50% of the time to make sure nothing is wrong with it. I guess that's the smart thing to do, considering you go faster than 120 MPH is about 3.5 seconds, then climb over 400 FT before doing a 90 degree corkscrew on the way back down....

Fucking insane. I almost nutted my pants just describing the ride.

I almost nutted your pants while READING about the ride!

What?

What?

He's hinting that he's got a thing for you.

Ahhhh. Now I get it.

That's an assumption. How do you know it wasn't a newly replaced cabled that just wasn't manufactured right? How do you know it wasn't tampered with? How do you know that a ricochet bullet didn't come flying from a mile away and hit that cable?

Replacing the existing cable with a defective cable is poor maintenance. They should inspect the cable before installation.

I am sure they would have.

Can you do a visual check to assure the proper tensile strength? Maybe you should test every inch of every cable with with a stress tester before you hang it. Last time you bought a car, did you take apart the engine to make sure it was in proper working order?

I am not saying that maintenance isn't at fault, just saying you made an assumption without knowing the facts.

Without knowing the FUCKING facts, WW.

Without FUCKIN' knowin 'em.

How does that make you feel?

getting her legs sliced off, besides from the pain that must be, her lost of mobility is something painfull too, that is not funny in any way.

It will be funny after she gets her feel-good pills.

You know there's a maintenance guy at the park sweating his ass off right now, because the hammer's about to come down on him...

Some things can't be caught by preventive maintenance, but we don't know all the facts (nor will they all be reported if they aren't alreeady, as news will release only information that gets people to watch/read it).

Odds are about equal for the guy being responsible as him just getting the axe so people will feel better.

Yeah I suppose, shit... myself, I'd take a lopped off foot or two for about 60mil, 'cause you know they're gonna be rollin in money once the settlement case is over, EVEN THOUGH, the ride states that you .. "Ride at your own RISK!"

You can cut off my feet if I get all the money that girl is going to get. Prostetics FTW.

If something happens to you, it's never, ever, EVER your own fault. ALWAYS someone else's. Even if you consciously choose to shoot yourself in the face, it's the gunsmith's fault for making it.

"Ride at your own RISK!"

Hmph.
