Browntggrr Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IS FREAKING REAL!!! Quote
Maverick44 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 What is up with this rides breaking like crazy this year? I understand they are in other countries who may not care for or inspect rides like we do here but wow. This is just insane. Prayers for all involved! https://www.k923orlando.com/news/national/dead-dozens-hurt-after-pendulum-ride-breaks-india-amusement-park/f9x0G3vhH1xVL8Im19xSxN/ ^ this link is to a video that shows a pic of the aftermath. You can see how rusted the seats and handles were......Not good for that park at all. Quote
upstop Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Lack of maintenance and no laws to ensure safety inspections are mostly to blame. I wouldn’t ride overseas for this reason. 1 Quote
Maverick44 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Yeah I still to the rides in the USA. I wanted to hit up Europe for the coaster over there. sigh Quote
radishman Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 A few times I've been on Delirium and thought wow there's not much to save yourself if that happened. Scary to see it can actually occur. Quote

Stick with Canada / USA / UK / Spain / Australia / maybe China (it seems they have a very wide variety of theme parks, from totally safe and maintained to sketchy and dangerous). 2 Quote

That statement is short but cuts straight to the meat of the issue... In essence, "It wasn't OUR ride. If you buy cheap knockoffs, you'll pay the price in lives later..." Quote
Oldiesmann Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Charges have already been filed in relation to this incident... https://nypost.com/2019/07/15/six-charged-in-carnival-ride-tragedy-that-killed-2-in-india/ Quote
