Theme/amusement parks sell thrills, that have the illusion of danger. To my knowledge, this is the first accident of this magnitude of a tower/drop ride made by S&S Power. There are dozens (hundreds?) of these rides operating around the world, delivering millions of safe rides every year. This is a freak accident, and a knee-jerk reaction of saying "everything is dangerous" is simply unfounded. These parks are not in the business of intentionally hurting or killing their guests, that's obvious. Safety inspections happen daily, and whatever the cause of this freak accident was, it was most likely not forseeable.

I do feel bad for this poor girl, as it was plainly not her fault.
