This is pure coincidence, but the company my wife's Dad works for has just been sent an assortment of cracked and broken ride parts from Drayton for welding, only to be reconstructed before the start of season. Now apparently the parts are in dire condition and beyond repair (in terms of operating safely again) furthermore, it is clear they have have been primitively repaired by the on park technicians at some point and so they've continued to operate the rides as potential death traps. Also they have been requested to refit them in incredibly unsafe conditions. So, my question is, who on earth monitors the safety of these rides? Is there an authority on it or are the parks left to their own devices and only cracked down upon once something goes wrong? Needless to say he'd like to report the condition as he wouldn't like to be responsible for possible injuries caused by unfit machinery. Apparently the big wheel is in the worst state and a disaster waiting to happen.
