Ride/Park Accidents

I’m not usually one for “ban x ride”, but watching that panorama piece and seeing how the majority of the accidents mentioned are on Safeco Jump’s, combined with other videos on the subject - you do have to wonder, why haven’t they been banned yet in the UK? It’s blatantly obvious that the ride as a whole (or at least the Safeco version) is a problem, and most of the documented incidents on this ride type seem to have happened in the UK, so why hasn’t something been done about it?

Plus the fact the manufacturer is defunct now and you can’t even get OEM parts for the things. It’s mad.

I'm amazed anyone can insure a Safeco ride these days.

The irony of the company being called Safeco as well

A mate who lives in Mexico just sent me this picture of a ride he saw driving past.
I don't think we have anything to worry about in this country.
