- qbasic_forever 5y agohttps://infrastructurereportcard.org/ https://infrastructurereportcard.org/ vs. I worked at an amusement park during summers in highschool and coaster track maintenance was serious business. The entire tracks were walked and inspected end to end twice a day (at open and at close). There was a meticulous paper trail of any and all maintenance, measurements, conditions, etc. Their insurers demanded a high standard because ultimately it would have cost the park millions and millions of dollars in liabilities if there were accidents.
- gkop 5y agoThanks! Forgive me but I gotta ask- how would you describe the socioeconomic class of the folks the park served? Can they afford to sue over small, non life-threatening accidents caused by minor safety breaches? Was the park ever sued, and how did it go? (My line of inquiry is coming from having seen abhorrent safety standards upheld at a major mainstream park, that was the poor people park in the region - the same company had another nearby park for the suburbanites, that was much nicer)
