At the end of the day it is a health and safety issue which occurred, and as a customer you expect to ride an attraction without potentially getting seriously injured. Now whether people think its thorpe fault or not - the buck stops at them. Say I'm at work, and one of the wall bay arms falls down with 30 odd jeans on it making it very heavy and this hits someone. Its no ones fault, it was secure when it was put up; its one of those things BUT its happened in our store, it hurt someone and therefore we are accountable. People can't sue fate. With thorpe, At the end of the day IF someone got hit by that metal shard then who would those people turn around and sue? Thorpe.and its not like this is the first time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/souther...ies/3391267.stm . I'm not sure of the circumstances of the engineering at that time - but I would assume it was adequate to pass the morning ride certificate then. But who got blamed, who got the fine? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/souther...ies/3579359.stm . Thorpe Park did. Not Huss. Not fate. What I'm trying to say is, we could go around in circles saying who is to blame, and its easy seeing as no one did get hurt to pass it off as a lucky escape and it wasnt thorpe fault. And I'm not say it is in anyway shape or form, I have full confidence in their safety. But someone is always to blame, we live in an 'I'm going to sue you' culture.As for the news, its unfair and misrepresentative. Well, pretty much everything you read is, and its stories like this that make you realize how false the press can be and makes you more skeptical about what you read in the future. If its not Thorpe Park, its the Govenrment, the police or Heather Mills.
