Besides, it is not as though the park immediately removed the cables after that incident. Why would they? A little blood stain? Doing so would be an enormous undertaking. Plus imagine if nothing else, the scrap value for those cables. I quite doubt that the park would simply let something like that sit, in guest view, next to The Beast.
That's what I tried to tell they guy he just wouldnt listen and I told him that the elevator cables were a lot thicker and he still wouldn't listen to me.
