There have been other accidents in this park and even one on the same ride.

It is highly unlikely that I will ever go on one of these but I am equally sure, that if I had children, they wouldn't either.

Those poor kids must have been terrified.

Of course any amount of these accidents are too many but in the grand scheme of things I think they are very safe.

For instance, I bet horse riding would be far more dangerous!

There is always going to be an element of danger with any ride that is designed to thrill.

Ratter...I agree in principle, but this particular theme park has previous form in this area, the last time only a few weeks ago.

In the great scheme of things given the number of people that ride these rides the number of accidents is very low. You can't stop people going on things just because of what might happen.

You might not cross the road because you might get run over by a bus!!

I went on a caterpillar ride with my grandchildren when they were quite small. I was terrified!!!
