Amusement Safety Article

[haux]

What this article fails to mention is that a lot of these reports are probably minor things. People at water parks run around in bare feet, so they're going to stub a toe. They'll trip and scrape their knee. They go to first aid, and it's recorded in the log.

 

As for getting hurt on Great White and Steel Eel, those just could be people hitting the lap bar during airtime or twisting an ankle while getting off the ride. Rattler, on the other hand, has gotta be legit.

 

Articles like this come about several times a year. It's best not to even post them. We could probably find another one and just copy and paste our responses and replace the names of rides.
