My dad went on holiday for two weeks last Tuesday, which would be fine, but one of my closest friends also went away for two weeks quite soon after, my brother has disappeared for the week and I have to do everything myself now. Which includes looking after my nan (who is really ill with ovarian...

Yeah... No one implied that Intamin are the only manufacturer that kill people... Wait, that is a quote from someone, implying just that!

I'm choosing to end this discussion for two reasons, one, I am just repeating myself, and two, I'm quite fed up of being told I am wrong constantly. Really, I get that Intamin have an awful track record. I don't need to be told a hundred times.

*Nods* If you say so. I have no opinion. By all means, continue slagging Intamin off. I really cba with it.

Okay. I'm just going to agree. It would seem that no one here wants a differing opinion to what might have happened. *Rage quits*

I really don't know how many times I have to repeat myself. I did not say that Intamin have not got a below par safety record.

That was what I was referring to actually.

*Makes frustrated noises* Someone please tell me when I said that I do not believe Intamin have a below par safety record. Because I didn't. I simply requested that people keep an open mind.

When someone implies that ONLY Intamin rides have ever killed someone?

I'm not convinced anyone here has looked at a comprehensive list of ride incidents before.

And a fair amount of Intamin incidents are mostly down to a lack of maintenance in the parks.

Oh look, Space Invaders is another UK death cred None in the UK are there?

Wooooooooah, when did I say that Intamin didn't have a less than ideal safety record? I just said we shouldn't all jump to conclusions. Don't twist my words.

Two in Oakwood if you include water coasters.

Actually, I think you'll find a fair amount of UK coasters have killed people. I can think of three off the top of my head.

I was in Spain that weekend, and the temperature fluctuates from less than 10c to 30c between midnight and midday. I don't need a science lesson. I do, shock horror, know what happens to make metal expand and contract. To answer your question, yes, the temperature was waving around a fair...

Now, let's not forget that rides in the UK have had parts break due to it getting hot...

To be honest, with a username like YouDon'tNeedToKnowMyName and no avatar, wouldn't surprise me if they are a troll...

The restraints are not a common issue, but I sympathise, its one of the reasons I try to avoid it...

Maybe we should all wait for the full report before jumping to conclusions? What if the restraints had cracked due to the heat, and it was wholly down to a lack of maintenance in the park? Being stuck on one idea and not thinking of the possibilities isn't going to help anyone.
