Bad story, but no fatalities.

The park authorities admit there was overcrowding, but blamed the customers. They say safety warnings issued by park personnel were ignored.

I have to wonder if there was any way to keep this amount of people from being on the slide at once. It seems crazy that about 20 people on a slide at once can cause it to collapse. Glad that everyone made it out alive.

According to the park they tried.

I just wonder how hard.

Have you seen all the over crowded passenger trains that India has? They jam themselves in the inside like sardines and on the roof of the cars. It is the same here. Anytime you over crowd a ride, it will cause problems and it happen here.
