Okay, I know this story is old but some friends and I started discussing it recently and the argument pretty much seemed split between "That kid is retarded and they shouldn't shut down the ride" and "anyone could make that mistake they should shut that dangerous ride down".
If you're not familiar with this story here's a link.

Basically, some kid at a six flags jumped two 6 foot fences with danger signs plastered all over them to cross through the ride area in an attempt to cut in line and the coaster came through and knocked his head off.

You can't blame owners of anything because people are stupid. The kid climbed two six foot fences. People don't put up fences unless you're not supposed to be there.

I am scared silly of rollercoasters .

Stupid kid, he'll never get [i]ahead[/i] in life now.

Man I would say that is an unsafe ride. From what I understand the rollecoaster gets too close to the people waiting. Maybe I misunderstood. If that is not the case then it's not unsafe. If the blame can easily be pointed to the young one not reading signs, then I have no problem.
