Child dies at Schlitterbahn in KCK
This is horrifying. Supposed to be a press conference soon with more details. Rumors seem to indicate it happened on the Verrukt, the world's tallest waterslide.

For a cliffs notes of the kinds of stuff that is pretty damning against the operations manager:




The whole thread is a nice summary if you don't want to read 45 pages of the indictment.

Seriously, when you go to a public amusement park, one should have a reasonable expectation that professionals design the rides.

Jesus, how many other places operate like this?

I don't expect engineers to be perfect. Accidents happen. But this is beyond the pale. **** these guys. They abandoned all common sense and were willfully negligent the likes of which we rarely see.

If you don’t want to be in a position that can endanger lives if done improperly, then don’t take the job.

I mean... I remember when this shit first was planned, and there were threads on CP saying "How long until someone dies on this thing." It didn't take a freaking rocket scientist to see that the thing was unsafe, yet people depended on the expertise of the company and assumed the ride was safe. That trust was misplaced, and the company is going to have to pay. It sucks that there are criminal charges against a guy who was, most likely, doing his job as a company man.. but damn. It's pretty obvious that there is gross negligence at play here.

The ride is literally designed to launch boats off the hump.

Eh, young guy, probably not college educated , worked his way up the ranks - probably by being a bit of a yes man. Doesn't excuse him, obviously, but it's weird that he's probably going to do jail time while his bosses who designed the thing and cut all sorts of corners won't even be on trial personally.

Agree with all this. People accept what they look around and see as "normal". I hope they pursue the right charges for the people who actually deserve it.

I remember when I worked at a theme park. One of the higher ups in the park got fired because the executive team thought that the safety spiel at the beginning of a certain ride was not good enough and the higher up was lax in getting it changed.

maybe that manager should have been just a basic human being and gave a shit about getting someone killed.

That’s a pretty low bar.

As nice as that might be, lawyers are usually allowed to be pretty damn sleazy.

I know a lawyer who's saying he should get disbarred for that. Here's hoping.
