Following the Smiler accident at Alton Towers you would think that the security of theme park rides would be at its highest and that they would take extra care in ensuring the safety of its passengers. Apparently not after the horrific events that took place at Drayton Manor yesterday afternoon.
The theme park's ride is explained to be 'a wild ride' and 'fast flowing'. This resulting in an 11 year old girl's death; after being flown to Birmingham's Children's hospital yesterday afternoon with 'serious injuries' Evha Jannath was shortly pronounced dead.
Its terrible to think that a day trip for the young children was meant to be a fun and enjoyable day out and in fact has resulted in something much more serious and heartbreaking.
Health and Safety lawyer Chris Green stated when asked for a comparison between the death of the pupil at Drayton Manor and the accident of the Smiler ride at Alton towers:
“The Alton Towers scenario looked more perhaps as if something inevitably... hadn't worked on the day. This one may be rather different.”
So who knows what this could mean for the family of the victim.
