Ride/Park Accidents

Unfortunately the park haven't filed their accounts so we don't really know their financial situation (although their 2023 accounts show the park is 79k in debt)

The ride is hired in from Spencer Stokes. I would assume it was operated by Stokes staff too.

You are correct, the fine was for Premier Attractions LTD who are owned by the Stokes https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ch...outh-shields-pleasure-park-fined-30702869.amp

Another fine, this time somewhat larger, $78m to KMG following the fireball incident a few years back. “the court found KMG was aware of the defect in the ride as early as 2012 and failed to alert ride owners nationwide. This negligence, combined with the oversight by inspectors and the ride’s operators, culminated in the tragic incident.” Ouch.

Surely a fine of that size will bury a specialist manufacturer like KMG?
