Re: Fairground owner in court after 12-year-old falls from r
Pretty much what Furie said. The original accident that's also mentioned in the article could be blamed on the poor design, and therefore be considered the fault of the manufacturer. However, the second accident, the one in question here, was entirely preventable.
As a direct result of the first accident, all operators had been told to stop using the outside seats immediately, and not to use them again until additional side support bars had been fitted. The showman in question here had been told this multiple times, yet still insisted on using the outside seats despite not having made the required modifications. Therefore, he's clearly the only one to blame.
