I'd think most amusement park / fair ride fatalities are due to maintenance problems. I can see that being difficult to oversee, especially with the mobile fairs that pack up the rides and move to another town. Check a ride in one town, and maybe on the way to the next town the truck hits a big pothole and something breaks on the tilt-a-whirl. But checking a new ride's engineering and design and construction ought to be possible, just like checking that a building is up to code. Of course, this is self-harming Kansas, so amusement rides are probably checked by a poultry inspector, one day each month.
