      @Eva Yes. Very. While what happened is a horrible and tragic event, the only reason it made the news was because such events are very very rare. People are killed and mangled in cars and on roads every day. It’s all down to probabilities.

      I think they’re closing it permanently now, so I’m guessing not! It’s certainly freaked me out enough not to go on any rides for a while… But obviously that’s rubbish and they’re mostly safe 😛
