@@jorgenvonstrangle4725I think if there were a significant number of deaths then there would be a memorial made. I do think there should be something else done though i completely agree
For anyone angry yet ride is till open, the incident was very much caused by human errors and lack of communication between the staff that day, it was nothing to do with the ride itself. The ride operated as expected. The Smiler ride actually did the right safety precautions by automatically stopping their cart when it sensed another cart close by but a human overrid that safety cuz no one told him a test cart was sent which never completed its course. After the incident Merlin added more cameras for visibility of the ride, they added feature that now couldn’t allow the ride operator to restart the cart if the cart’s safety kicked in and all the staff under went strict training.
@@chilli943 hence that is a HUMAN fault. They are the ones who initially designed it that way so it can be override by staff engineers and that’s why they changed it after.
@@chilli943 there are always glitches in a system, however on a rollercoaster, when a system glitches, it STOPS the train rather than sending it when it wasnt supposed to. thats why human overrides exist, because if there were no human overrides, the ride would almost never be open since once it glitched 1 time, it wouldnt be able to open again
They say you cannot remember pain but clearly you can. Knee injuries hurt I remember mine. I feel so very sorry for these three and everyone else involved in the incident. I hope they all have won hefty lawsuits and are able to somehow pick up the pieces to their lives ruined by the parks incompetent staff.
Kind of crazy to compare this to a knee injury? They was left up there bleeding out for 4+ hours while people watching the crash was filming, The ride theme tune was also a person laughing they must of been hearing the ride laughing at them while they literally thought they was going to die Nothing can be compared to what these people went through 🥺 Thoughts are with them I hope they are all ok
@@MaximusDecImuS3 1. 4 four people were serious injured in the this ride 2. The victims of this ride requested to stay closed as they found it painful to watch people enjoying the ride that changed their lives 3. if this had any other riding in AT it would have closed and been replaced with something but oh no because this breaks records it has stay open or that is what it feels like to me. so to me it just feels that AT put the money before the victims if this had been any ride in the park or any other theme park for that matter if would have been replaced they knew there was issues with it before this accident occurred
You can’t imagine I can’t even say what it’s like not having a leg what happened that day that day the engineers just didn’t look for the cart was sad I’m not glad about them now they are never the same changed… all because of miscommunication
safe or not it should of been shut permanently following this accident due to the life changing injuries that it cause to the victims of this incident.
Think the best thing these people could do is get back on that ride. Show your brain that their is nothing to be affraid of. That a horrible accident like that will never happen on that ride again. After my horrible car accident i wanted to avoid going the route where it happened but instead i drove up and down that route 100 times right after the accident in my moms car. I knownit was nowhere near as bad as this but it was a 50mph head on collision and it was a nightmare.
it was the error of the operators and miscommunication - ie human error. the ride is realtively safe, its just the combination of negligence of the staff. the staff didnt notify the mechanic that they added a 5th cart. the security system worked properly. the staff didnt communicate w the mechanic. so the mechanic counted the usual 4 carts, assuming that there were only 4, and overrided the security mechanism thinking it was just a censor error. so theyve really cracked down on safety protocols. the ride itself is engineered fine. but the staff needed to be trained and not negligent even on a busy day. a combination of bad circumstances and human error. hence after changing their protocols the ride is fine. just has a bad reputation now.
Even tho they would like to see it never reopen at the end of the day the rollercoaster is fully functional and safe it was just lack of training of staff at the time on oversights in safty that I can say with full knowledge Alton towers and Merlin have taken on board completely there isn’t a safer country to go to a theme park then the Uk
