i gotta say, it is weirdly comforting that most ride accidents are caused by human error or people being idiots as opposed to the ride being unsafe

​@@rylaltathey're just giving an example of accidents that weren't caused by human error. they're not saying it's likely for anyone to actually ride them

[@ThePlayerOfGames]

This does also fall short in analysis. Crowd psychology and crowd dynamics are a well researched and generally predictable area of science. Knowing the target demographic means we can predict what their normal and extreme responses will be, which means we can design the rides and parks around this - and many are, particularly the wealthiest ones with the highest daily visit counts which include both anti and counter surge designs for people rushing to get to or events and people trying to evacuate in an emergency equally. Even if we were as efficient with these descriptions as the rest of the video, that would only add 40 seconds extra description per event?

[@protonjones54]

its because of capitalism the people in charge of the park want to make as much money as possible and spend as little money as possible, no matter who gets hurt along the way

[@TheTundraTerror]

​@@saucepart2electricboogaloo461 It's not "muh capitalism", you brain fried zoomer. If any system is going to result in corner cutting, it's going to be the crappy communist system where the government tells you how much you can charge for something. What really happened is the "normalization of deviance" where someone stops following the proper procedure, doesn't notice anything right way, and soon enough everyone keeps doing it because "oh, it's just as effective and saves time". This is because teenagers whose brains haven't fully developed (like yours) can't see/don't care about the long term ramifications of their actions until the chicken come home to roost.

[@Zarcondeegrissom]

​@@saucepart2electricboogaloo461 a better word for that can be 'greed' as even places without capitalism still suffer skimped products for greed. Just saying. the other angle with capitalism is when customers get wind that a product is bad or it's simply a product they don't want, they don't buy it. then the company is forced to make the product good or go out of business like Volition Games did when their 2022 Saints Row reboot game that very few people wanted flopped.

[@crooked-halo]

New Texas Giant accident wasn't "explained in detail," in spite of the cause being well known. The deceased riders torso was not underneath the lap bar but riding on top of it. Therefore, she was not restrained and came out from under the lap bar easily. Controversy over this accident is one or more employees likely noticed this dangerous situation, but didn't use logic & common sense to figure out that this rider could leave her seat even though the lap bar was down & locked properly. Employees might've been reluctant to call attention to this, not wanting to refuse the lady her ride or embarrass her due to her obesity. There were no mechanical problems with New Texas Giant that day. The amusement industry did learn a valuable lesson over this accident and parks worldwide have initiated measures to prevent this from happening again.

[@davemccage7918]

Yep, the operators feel victim to “chronic niceness” and it cost that lady lower body. However, at the end of the day, nobody owes you safety. Don’t trust a high school kid with your life. It wasn’t the rider’s fault per say, but she should have known her limits.

[@kimisayo2447]

​@@davemccage7918what a dumb mindset to have on that incident. Regardless of their ages it is Six flags responsibility to provide a safe environment. She didn't speak much english and it's reported that she did ask to be double checked and let off and they reassured her. So yea she was concerned for her safety. I've gone to that six flags many times since childhood and many of the people employed there were people I had studied with. That park was slacking on safety and overall just knowledgeable staff until this incident lost them even more money and slapped them in the faces.

[@The_10th_Man]

Not sure how you could attribute this to anything but politically correct cult of victimhood which now pervades everything. Not to mention the incidences with disabled people, the operators just don’t want to be sued by some entitled loudmouth.

[@Chris-xo2rq]

Not wanting to embarrass obese people has lead to more than 1 death... It needs to be part of training if it isn't. Safety is one area where it's acceptable to be less than polite.

Seems like almost all of these could’ve been avoided had maintenance done their job properly, or if people would follow the rules of the ride.

[@kaileyallen7563]

And that’s the story! We can only hope other parks start to learn their lessons based on these events. From a business standpoint, regular proper maintenance saves a shit ton of money in the long run instead of something serious happening due to disrepair. Then just from a human standpoint, nobody should ever need to get hurt on a ride because of this. These machines are actually incredibly safe creations. It’s incredible really! So why on earth skip out on the maintenance that helps keep them safe??

@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od I don’t think they meant the teens “should die.” More so that the teens willingly hopped a fence and entered dangerous areas of the ride.

ALL of them. Simple as that. If maintenance had been performed as specified by ride manufacturers - no accident. If park employees felt empowered to remove a guest who should not ride - no accident. If guests who don’t fit the the parameters of a rider and accepted they should not ride - no accident. If guests obeyed the safety signs and safety barriers meant to ensure their safety - no accident. None of these were caused by an “act of god”. I’ve yet to find an amusement accident that was unavoidable.

I love your content since you do a good job explaining each accident. One I would like you to cover one day is the 2011 Spinning Barrels accident at Holiday Park in Germany if there are good English translations of the articles about it. (I read on Wikipedia that the only reason the 11-year-old victim got into the restricted area was because someone had left the gate to it unlocked but want to know how and why it happened.)

The stupid part about the SFNE one is that it was the fault of the rider (for riding despite the warning sign at the front coinciding with his impairments) and the operators (for still letting him ride), yet the Intamin T-bars were still banned from Massachusetts over the incident despite doing their job properly

The most notable one I'm surprised wasn't included was the smiler crash in 2015
