I think there are a lot of insensitive comments on here. People are obviously failing to understand the severity of what happened here.
Firstly the lives of these people has been changed, significantly. You think losing a leg wont have an impact on your life? Wrong. The pain and suffering they have been through, the trauma and the continuing trauma they will experience for years to come. The nightmares, the emotional distress, the flashbacks, the fact they wont be able to drive a car like the rest of us without adaptions, or be able to walk around a theme park all day, or be a dancer like the one girl was.
Who the hell are we to judge these people, or say that "sod them, lets get the ride back open". Yes it is respect to keep it closed for the time being, one to respect the gravity of the situation and two to ensure that it never, ever, ever happens again, and that the appropriate tests and security measures are now in place.
Not one person here has any right whatsoever to judge these people, or suggest they are only wanting fame and money, and that their injuries do not warrant a delay in reopening the ride. I suggest people think about how losing a limb would affect their lives both physically and emotionally before they type.
The ride will reopen yes, when, who knows, maybe soon, BUT, the victims, their feelings and how ever much compensation etc they may get should be left out of this debate.
