That and the company wasn’t gigantic.

Bezos could kill a couple politicians kids and get off with a fine

They didn't.

In February, a judge dismissed the charges against Henry and Schooley. The water park is now closed, and the slide has been demolished.

No fines, no jailtime.

There was a large settlement in 2017.

There were criminal charges in 2018, dismissed in 2019 because a film shown to the grand jury was actually a fiction film, and not a documentary. This sounds like bullshit to me.

The least consequences we can hope for as a result of decapitating the ten year old son of a state representative (and seriously injuring two of his daughters) is some fucking regulations.

Luckily, nobody of future value was lost.

I am, I am definitely afraid of this particular water slide.

I missed that.. Here we go again

Oh fuck you are right.. That's pretty horrible.

You know, that's a good point.

What the actual fuck, waterslide designer?

Or making that part a tube.

I've been on a ride like that - it bleeds off most of the speed on the first drop uses a conveyor belt to send you over the bump at a controlled speed, unlike hoping for the randomness of water and variance of bodyweight to do the job. There's easy ways to make this safer.

Yeah, a tube would have made waaaay more sense.

This thing is like the real life version of Homer's trampoline.

Also needs a Longmont Potion Castle tag.
